Chiropractic as it is known today was re-invented by D.D. Palmer in 1895 and it has grown ever since to be the third largest independent healing profession in the western world, after medicine and dentistry. Statutory Registration of qualified Chiropractors commenced in the middle of 1999 thereby assuring patients that they receive proper care for their complaints by a fully qualified Chiropractor, who has completed at least 4 years full-time education. Chiropractic specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions, which are due to mechanical dysfunction of the joints and their effects upon the nervous system. In chiropractic the emphasis is on prevention and ‘adjustment’. According to the condtion being treated one or more of a whole range of different chiropractic adjusting techniques can be employed. Over 90% of back pain is mechanical in origin and can be treated by a Chiropractor. For persistent back pain of over 6 weeks, NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) recommends a course of up to nine treatments of manual therapy (www.nice.org.uk/CB88). Chiropractic treatment is safe. Estimates of serious complaints from manual therapy range form 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 1,000,000. Chiropractors see patients of all ages and are trained to modify their care by taking into account risk factors such as osteoporosis. Children and pregnant women with back or joint pain can be helped with gentle manula therapy, advice and exercise. Chiropractors are trained to select appropriate forms of treatment and will refer when clinical indicated. The treatment by the Chiropractor affects the joint’s mobility, as well as nerve and muscle function. Your body’s own healing process (which we normally recognise in it ability to heal bruises, cuts and broken bones) will then be able to continue the task of restoring your health. Chiropractic is based on a very simple concept. Your body is literally a ‘machine’. It has power sources, wiring, electricity and lubrication. However, like all machines it also has a mechanical structure. That mechanical structure, with the spine as its most important support and carrier of the major nervous system, can become damaged, distorted or irritated. The result is often acute or nagging pain, which you may feel not only in the back but also in the head, neck, arms and legs. Your Chiropractor has the training and experience to treat people with these conditions. Chiropractic care is for everyone and all ages. Your Chiropractor will be able to tell you whether your symptoms will respond well to chiropractic care. So why not make an appointment to see if chiropractic care is for you.
