A chiropractor is a healthcare professional specialising in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Chiropractors aim to reduce and alleviate the effects of these disorders on the functioning of the nervous system and general health of individuals.
Chiropractors have been trained to utilise a range of orthopaedic and neurological tests to diagnose various musculoskeletal conditions. Chiropractic treatment primarily involves the use of manipulation or the‘ chiropractic adjustment’ to restore any abnormal joint mechanics found in the body. Abnormal bio-mechanics can be as a result of an acute injury to a joint, repetitive stress and overuse of a joint, incorrect posture and chronic joint disease just to name a few.
Chiropractic is involved in the diagnosis and treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions including :
•neck pain and back pain
•certain types of headache (mainly concerned with the cervical spine)
•sports injury
•Work and stress related injuries
•colic in babies
•back pain during pregnancy
•as well as many other musculoskeletal problems.
