Why Chiropractic is a safe, effective and necessary treatment for optimal function

 

The art of Chiropractic is not “shifting bones into a different alignment” or “jumping on the spine”.  It is stimulating the nervous system, using the spine as a portal/lever to specifically create changes with the biomechanics of the spine and experience the FUNCTION, STABILITY, BALANCE and STRENGTH of the spine as a consequence of gentle specific adjustments.

 

Chiropractors do not want to get movement at any old joint, it is important to be specific, not only to get the best, most efficient results, but also be safe.

 

Here at Spine Alive, we are able to take spinal x-rays before we adjust (xray facilities in clinic), on top of our thorough examination and history, so that we are able to do the best by you.

 

If you are one to “crack” your own spine -

If you are able to specifically know which vertebrae, in which directions and the structures involved, whilst knowing the condition of those vertebrae, then go for it. But otherwise, leave it to the professionals! We are highly trained in this area and will be able minimise the pain, prevent future episodes and slow the arthritic processes by making you feel and function as best as you can be.
