Chiropractic & Manual Therapy
‘Chiropractic medicine’ is a system of primary health care concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the neuro-musculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on general health. There is an emphasis on manual techniques, including joint adjustment and/or manipulation, with a particular focus on the subluxation.
The relationship between structure, especially the spine and musculoskeletal system, and function, especially as coordinated by the nervous system is central to chiropractic and its approach to the restoration and preservation of health.
