Definition of Chiropractic
The chiropractic profession bases itself on the premise that the human body has an inherent capacity to maintain its health. This phenomenon, known as homeostasis, is what allows us to preserve an inner equilibrium while being resistant to outside stress. Chiropractic utilises the intimate relationship between the central nervous system and the spinal column by performing spinal adjustments.
Chiropractic Care
The chiropractor’s main tool is spinal adjustment. It is a precise manipulation of the vertebral column, allowing the optimisation of the neuro-muscular-skeletal system.
Since the central nervous system controls most bodily functions, as it extends into the spinal column, the re-establishment of an ideal movement between the vertebrae will allow for an efficient regulation for our health.
Lastly, chiropractors can perform manipulations on other joints in the body to undertake relief, corrective or maintenance care.
