What is chiropractic?

The literal meaning of chiropractic is ‘done by hand’. Chiropractic is an alternate health care profession that specializes in the treatment and management of neuromuscular skeletal (nerves, muscles and joints) conditions. Our approach is non- invasive and is drug free. The main aim of a chiropractor is to evaluate your spine and related tissues and to assist in restoring normal function and biomechanics. This will result in easier, pain free movement as well as overall optimal functioning of your body as a whole.
