What Is A Chiropractor?
A chiropractor is a highly trained professional who uses a wide variety of specific adjustments to different parts of the spine and pelvis to help the nervous system, via the spinal nerves and cord, to better control the full physical system including movement, coordination, balance, function and make the body more resilient and adapt better to physical, chemical and mental stress. These improvements to the system often mean that when people are under Chiropractic care they notice improvement in sleep, mobility and symptoms. Most Chiropractic adjustments tend to focus on the spine because it protects and supports the nervous system which controls pretty much everything in the body and that’s often why people can notice widespread changes in their body beyond the spine.
Many people choose regular Chiropractic care as a way to help their body be at it’s best, whether they are a little old lady or an athlete, because they realise that with consistency and repetition, like brushing your teeth, they can live a healthier, active and happier life.
The Benefits Of Chiropractic Care
Improves pain
While Chiropractic is about helping people’s body function optimally regardless of symptomatic presentation, if you’re suffering from pain in your neck, back, head, joints, muscles or legs, it might be worth consulting a Chiropractor because of the very common positive changes most people notice. A Chiropractor can facilitate and guide you to help you get your body, including it’s posture, movement and function, working at its best which typically can have a big impact on the body’s symptomatic expressions, such as pain.
Reduces the need for painkillers
Chiropractic is a natural approach to health that is non-invasive and drug-free and, studies have found, that people who are under the support and guidance of a skilled Chiropractor will on average take significantly less medication such as painkillers. Long-term use of painkillers, including NSAIDs and opioids, have significant adverse effects such as digestive issues, addiction and a weakened immune system.
Non-invasive treatment
Another reason why many opt to visit a chiropractor is because it’s less invasive and aggressive than drugs, injections and surgery. Before anybody considers these approaches, which only aim to manage the symptoms, people should first see a Chiropractor to look beyond their symptoms and work to help them restore proper function, movement and posture to get them stronger so that their body can correct whatever is producing the symptoms or pain. When the body works properly symptoms tend to invariably dissipate without the need for invasive treatment.
Supports posture
Poor posture can not only cause chronic back pain and headaches, but can also impact your day-to-day life. With the right support and guidance from a Chiropractor you can help to correct your posture and provide pain relief all over the body.

Chiropractic techniques can help to reset your body, in turn increasing your mobility, the activation of muscles and movement patterns which can have an effect on speed, range of motion, pliability and coordination boost athletic performance.
