What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is is the health care profession that specialises in joint movement (in particular the spine) and how that impacts the function of the body, and the function of the nervous system, which is protected by the spine. Abnormal movement patterns and/or alignment of the spine may irritate, compress or compromise the function of the nervous system, which controls body function.

Chiropractors don't just deal with spinal problems. Many Chiropractors also deal with peripheral joint function (i.e.. the elbows, knees, hips, etc.) and also the cranial bones (particularly in children).

Chiropractors are also trainer radiographers (they can take x-rays) and are also trained in the reading and interpretation of these x-rays.
