Chiropractic is a profession that specialised in the detection, care and prevention of disorders affecting the musculoskeletal system, particularly involving the spine and its effects on your nervous system. Chiropractic is the largest natural health care discipline in the United Kingdom and is regulated by the General Chiro Practice Council. Our approach is to remove nervous system disturbance (usually along the spine) that can restore your ability to self-heal or maintain your ideal health.

Chiropractic care depends on the healing abilities of each individual and results may very from person to person. Regular adjustment visits, regular re-examination and progress reports are all part of your specific care plan. Some patients choose to continue care once they are moving and functioning better and they have regular checks irrespective of symptoms. This is called maintenance or wellness care. 

Chiropractors also place an emphasis on nutrition and exercise, wellness and healthy lifestyle modifications which, when correctly applied, will improve the health of individuals.

Your initial consultation, which we call an Initial Assessment, will include taking your history and performing an examination to accurately assess your health, address the underlying cause of any symptoms and identify your specific concerns. 

Using this information your chiropractor will then establish an appropriate course of care and give you a full review of findings to help you understand your individual needs and what is required to achieve your health goals. We will explain how chiropractic care can improve a condition as well as any risks and possible side effects. We will encourage you to ask questions so that you understand the care that has been recommended. 

Following your review of findings and if it is determined that chiropractic may assist you, with your permission, care will begin. We call this a chiropractic adjustment. Delays to care may be necessary if further tests or consultations with your GP are necessary.
