Chiropractic

About

Chiropractic is a manual therapy which aims to restore proper alignment and movement to the spinal column, this is done by the chiropractor performing "adjustments" or gentle spinal manipulation to the spine and pelvis. The adjustments can be performed by hand or by using specific chiropractic equipment.

By enabling proper movement of the spinal column this enhances nerve function, optimises body movement and reduces improper loading of joints & soft tissues. This is crucial in preventing injury and assisting with the body's healing process.

In Australia, chiropractors complete a 5 year university degree earning them the title Doctor of Chiropractic and they are classified as primary health care providers.
