Chiropractic

Each person has individual needs and must be assessed accordingly. Once this assessment is complete, the Chiropractor can recommend a program of Chiropractic care.

Referral is not necessary. Chiropractors are primary heath care providers (the third largest world wide after medical doctors and dentists).

Although not necessary, we are always happy to accept referrals from your medical doctor. At Chiropractic Plus, we recognise that often working with any other health professional you may see is beneficial to your care at our office.

Adjusting techniques are used for babies, children and pregnant women.

Chiropractors must complete a five-year university degree course. Chiropractic is recognised worldwide and supported by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Chiropractors must be registered and licensed to practise by the Chiropractors’ Registration Board.

The spine is the framework which supports and protects the spinal cord. It has been likened to the body’s switchboard. Most of the nerves pass from the spinal cord through small openings between the spinal bones (vertebrae), to the muscles, organs, bones and the skin. In fact, the nerve system controls and coordinates all organs, structures, systems and functions of the human body, helping to maintain homeostasis (natural physiological balance). Because of the spine’s complexity, its normal movements are easily disrupted. Falls, incorrect lifting, repetitive movements, faulty posture and even illness may cause disruption to the normal mechanics of the spine.
