Chiropractic
What is chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a hands-on approach focused on joint and spinal mobility. In my work, I use mobilisations and manipulations to address movement restrictions.
What does chiropractic involve?
Where to start
Where we begin matters
The area where you feel pain or tension isn't always the only area worth paying attention to. Relevant tests can help reveal restrictions elsewhere that you may not notice in day-to-day life.
Muscle tension
More than tight muscles
Muscle tension can accompany limited mobility in a joint or part of the spine. This is why working only with muscles and other soft tissues is not always enough.
As movement becomes freer, tension in the surrounding tissues may also change.
Movement and load
Different areas work together when you move
The spine, pelvis, ribs, shoulders and other parts of the body work together. If one area moves less freely, other areas may compensate by moving more or taking on more of the load.
Scope and limits
Everything has its limits
Chiropractic care and manual techniques are not appropriate in every situation. If your discomfort is severe or you notice any warning signs, it's best to see a doctor first.
