Chiropractic and Osteopathy Information and Links:

Chiropractic treatment is based upon the understanding that good health is dependant upon a normally functioning nervous system, especially the spine and the nerves that extend from the spine to all parts of the body. Chiropractic Doctors or Chiropractors, may sometimes refer to a patient's subluxation, which is a misalignment of the spine that interferes with nerve messages transmitted by the brain.

Chiropractors examine the spine to ascertain any injuries, accidents or tension that may be causing irritation to the spinal nerve roots. By reducing or eliminating this irritation, the body will operate more efficiently and more comfortably. They may also refer a patient for x-rays, Massage or Physiotherapy, if this is considered to be necessary.

Treatments are by gentle manipulation or adjustment of the spine, which are usually performed on a special Chiropractic table. Length and frequency of treatments will vary from one practitioner to another and the degree of severity of the problem presented.

Osteopathy is a drug free system based on manipulative techniques to improve physiological function. Osteopaths see the human body as being capable of curing itself, and the duty of the practitioner is to remove any impediments to the healthy function of each person. Most osteopathic techniques are very gentle and relaxing, although some can be quite forceful. Osteopaths uses a wide range of techniques to free up tissues, and so there are usually alternative ways to get to the same result.

Osteopaths are best known for their work on back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, repetitive-strain type conditions and headaches. Other conditions helped by Osteopathy are sinus and respiratory conditions, ear infections and digestive problems, with people who are pregnant and people with sporting injuries. Since the work involve freeing up the body to be able to repair and heal itself, a wide range of conditions respond well with this type of natural therapy.
