Chiropractors work with people of all ages to specifically and gently restore and maintain optimal nervous system function so that your body can heal and thrive.
Supporting your wellbeing
Before you choose any healthcare service, it’s important to understand what it involves.
We’re here to share the what, why, and how chiropractic care can help support your wellbeing.
What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care is fundamentally based on the idea that the nervous system controls every cell and organ in the body.
Chiropractic care aims to create a domino effect of improved function and relief throughout the body by aligning the spine, optimising nerve flow and offering a holistic approach to health and wellness.
The Chiropractic Approach
Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to adjust the spine and improve alignment.
These techniques may include manual adjustments, where the chiropractor uses their hands to manipulate the spine, or instrument-assisted techniques, which use specialised tools to perform the adjustments.
