Chiropractors specialise in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of biomechanical disorders of the musculo-skeletal system particularly those involving the spine, and their effects upon the nervous system. Chiropractic treatment is not an alternative to conventional medicine, but is complementary to it.

Chiropractic is a straightforward method of adjusting the bones of your body to maintain the correct alignment of your spine and to ensure that your body's nerve supply works efficiently. It seeks to eliminate the cause, not just treat symptoms, and through subtle adjustments, chiropractic care can relieve pain and discomfort, increase mobility and provide a route to better health.
 
Misalignment of the vertebrae or bones can occur for many reasons, such as incorrect lifting, car or sporting accidents, childbirth, falls, stress and poor posture, and these conditions will all worsen over time if not corrected.

McTimoney chiropractors use only their hands to make adjustments to the bones of your body. The key to the success of the adjustments is in the speed, dexterity and accuracy with which they are performed.

The Activator method chiropractic technique uses an electronic or spring-loaded handheld tool that delivers a controlled and consistent, low-force, high-speed thrust, which reduces the risk of human error. The Activator Method is a ‘no crack’ technique that has a gentle approach, which is ideal for all ages.
