What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic (from the Greek meaning “to do by hand”) stems from the understanding that the body self-regulates and self-heals. Specifically, the Nervous System, which includes the Brain, Spinal Cord, and Nerves, controls every cell, tissue, organ, and system. Therefore, any interference with the nervous system disrupts normal bodily functions.

Nerve interference often appears as a Chiropractic or Vertebral Subluxation, which is essentially a biomechanical dysfunction of the spine. The symptoms can include pain, swelling, altered blood flow, muscle tension, and reduced motion. Therefore, Chiropractic practice emphasises the crucial relationship between structure (the Spine, Pelvis, and Extremities) and function (the Nervous System). This relationship significantly impacts health through the adjustment of Vertebral Subluxations.

In a typical session, a Chiropractor performs a specific thrust during a Chiropractic adjustment to an affected Spinal or Skeletal joint. This adjustment not only restores normal motion but also reduces nervous system interference. As a result, it leads to decreased swelling and improved bodily function. Ultimately, the goal is to restore the normal relationship between the body’s structure and function.

Furthermore, Chiropractic encompasses the Art, Science, and Philosophy of identifying and correcting Nervous System dysfunction. It specifically aims to address the underlying cause of disease rather than merely treating symptoms.

In Australia, Chiropractic has become the top choice for natural health care. Increasingly, more people understand, accept, and utilise it than ever before. Its popularity stems from sound scientific principles, non-invasive practices, and high patient satisfaction. Consequently, more individuals are adopting a Chiropractic lifestyle and experiencing significant health improvements. Indeed, no other healthcare service enhances well-being quite like Chiropractic care.
