What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a safe and effective whole-body treatment that is applied to the neurological system of the body.  Using a combination of fast light adjustments to the bones, muscles, and joints, it enables the body to move in a pain free and fluid way. Chiropractic techniques are used in conjunction with soft tissue myofascial release and neuromuscular release. It can facilitate the alleviation of pain and the restoration of movement promotes normal function, mobility, health, healing and wellbeing. It can be used on infants to geriatrics and all in between.

I tried Pilates but it wasn’t for me…

When a new client has their first initial session with me, I always ask have you done any Pilates before, the answer, if yes, is usually, but I didn’t get on with it. When asked why they think that was, their response is I didn’t know or understand what I was doing.

Why pain can leave a lasting imprint on the body

Pain can manifest in the body even after the physical healing process is complete due to a variety of factors.
One possible reason is that the nervous system may still be sensitized, even after the injury or illness has healed. This means that the nerves may still be transmitting pain signals to the brain even though there is no longer any physical damage.
