About Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a primary health-care profession that specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and overall management of conditions that are due to problems with the joints, ligaments, tendons and nerves of the body, particularly those of the spine.

Treatment consists of a wide range of manipulative techniques designed to improve the function of the joints, relieving pain and muscle spasm.This restores normal function to the affected muscles, joints and nerves allowing the body to then get on with the job of healing itself.

Chiropractic does not involve the use of any drugs or surgery.

What’s the difference between chiropractic and osteopathy?

Chiropractors are trained differently, and also have different techniques. In general
terms chiropractors tend to focus on nerve and joint function, and BCA chiropractors are also trained to take and interpret x-rays, which osteopaths are not. Both professions have statutory regulation.
