What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a highly regulated profession in the UK, requiring chiropractors to complete a four-year degree course at university, and a one-year post-graduate development course to register with the General Chiropractic Council. To maintain their registration, chiropractors must continually update their skills through continued professional development each year.
Chiropractic care focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mechanical disorders of the muskeletal system and the nervous system through the emphasis of manual treatments and spinal manipulation to assist with overall health and well-being.
What do chiropractors do?
Chiropractic care can provide various benefits such as pain relief, improved mobility, better posture, and overall well-being.
Chiropractors use spinal adjustments and manual therapies to restore proper alignment and function to the musculoskeletal system, which can help manage and address conditions by reducing pressure on nerves, relieving muscle tension, and promoting optimal nerve health.
Additionally, chiropractors may also offer lifestyle and ergonomic advice to prevent future issues and promote natural healing for a healthier and more balanced body.
