Chiropractic treatment is the treatment of the vertebrae (bones) in the spine. Chiropractors believe if the vertebrae are miss-aligned, then this can lead to disease and dysfunction in the body.

Chiropractic means ‘practice with the hands’ and comes from the Greek words Cheir meaning hand, and Prakitos meaning done by.

Chiropractors manipulate vertebrae in the back, and its joints, which can lead to other complaints.

Chiropractic is part of the modern branch of complementary medicine which specialises in the mechanical disorders of the joints, particularly the spine, and thus the nervous system that is affected if the spine is misaligned.

Chiropractors train for four years according to the legal requirements of the country. The objective of the treatment is to improve the mobility of the spine, and relax the surrounding muscles. Chiropractors are recognised by the letters D.C doctor of chiropractic. All Chiropractors in the U.K are regulated by law, and have to be members of the G.C.C to practice.
