How can chiropractic help?Holistic good health is not just absence of pain or disease but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental well-being throughout the whole person. The more balanced the body is, the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living, as well as with unexpected trauma. The spinal column is made up of 24 vertebrae, the sacrum and the coccyx. This column houses the spinal cord through which nerve information is transmitted to the rest of your body. So long as the column is properly aligned, messages from the nerves are passed correctly to the rest of the body, but if any part of the column is out of synch A nerve can become “pinched” or otherwise distorted which can affect the way the messages are passed. This is the cause of much pain, discomfort or restricted mobility felt after quite minor or apparently unrelated incidents. Misalignment can be caused not just by obvious events like an accident, a fall, or twisting while lifting something heavy, but also by childbirth, stress, or simply poor posture. McTimoney chiropractors use their hands to make high-velocity, low-force adjustments that are very gentle to receive. Their effectiveness is due to the speed, dexterity and accuracy of the adjustments. What problems can chiropractic help?
