What is chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a regulated primary healthcare profession. Chiropractors are trained to diagnose, treat, manage and prevent disorders of the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints and muscles) as well as the effects these disorders can have on general health.

Chiropractors are experts in the mechanics of the body and how it should function and can in turn diagnose and treat conditions of the spine and limbs.

Chiropractors use a range of techniques to reduce pain, improve function and increase mobility. Chiropractic treatment is a combination of specific massage techniques, joint manipulation or mobilisation to make changes which will stretch & strengthen the necessary areas and correct postural habits. As well as manual treatment, chiropractors are able to offer advice on self-help, therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises as well as lifestyle changes.

At Bodycare Chiropractic we provide care for patients of all ages, who present with a range of acute and chronic conditions. Should there be a need we also offer home mobile visits (available from September 2021).
