Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline based around the assessment and facilitation of optimal function between the spine and nervous system. When spinal segments become restricted in their motion or ‘jammed’, this can alter the nerve impulses which travel between the brain and body via the spinal cord and its branches, resulting in altered spinal mechanics, and very often discomfort. A chiropractic adjustment is a very specific, gentle input to the spine, which can be applied by the chiropractor’s hands, or with the use of an instrument or special table. The technique used is selected based on factors such as your medical history, specific complaint, or individual preference.
At Hadfield Chiropractic, joint manipulative techniques will often be supplemented with soft tissue therapies, ergonomic advice and exercise rehabilitation to give you the best treatment result.
