Chiropractic is a licenced, regulated, non-surgical, drugless form of health care. Working with the musculoskeletal system, which is made up of bones, muscles and nerves that work together to support the body to function. The problems that you may face day to day may be more than pain and discomfort but may even be affecting your ability to function at a higher level. Chiropractic is a form of increasing and promoting your health and wellbeing. Quick, precise adjustments are made to various bones and joints to improve alignment, enhance nervous system function, and support your body's natural healing process.

McTimoney is a specific chiropractic approach rooted in vitalism. It's distinguished by its gentle, whole-body method, making it ideal for all age groups, regardless of the main complaint. This technique involves assessing every person comprehensively to gather a solid foundation of information, ensuring that care is tailored to each individual's specific needs.
-
Adjustments are generally not painful, and McTimoney adjustments, in particular, are known for their light and gentle nature. While some discomfort may occur depending on the severity of the issue, patients typically feel a quick, sharp sensation with mild pressure, sometimes accompanied by a popping or cracking sound as gas is released from the joint. Overall, the McTimoney method is considered a more comfortable approach.
-
No, you do not have to be "cracked." The "crack" or "pop" that some people experience during an adjustment is simply the movement of air in the synovial fluid that surrounds and protects the joint. This sound is not necessary for an adjustment to be effective or for a correction to be made.
-
Whether chiropractic care can help you depends on your specific condition and health goals. Chiropractic care is often effective for a variety of musculoskeletal issues, neurological issues and many other conditions. Chiropractic care is widely recognised for its effectiveness in caring for those with both acute and chronic pain. Spinal adjustments can help alleviate pain, improve mobility, reduce inflammation and maintain good health.

Maintaining good mobility and balance is essential for performing daily activities, preserving independence, leading to a healthier active lifestyle for those with injury to their hips, knees or ankles. Additionally, for those without injuries, chiropractic care can enhance the performance for physically fit, athletic, and active individuals striving to achieve their goals.
Preventing Injuries

Whether you're an athlete, an active person, or simply aiming to maintain your general health, incorporating chiropractic care can be a crucial component in injury prevention.
Improvement to Mental Health

Misalignments can cause disruptions in the nervous system, leading to increased stress responses, this is where chiropractic care directly influences the body by ensuring alignment, relieving tension, reducing stress and promotes a sense of relaxation. Correcting these misalignments helps restore balance to the nervous system, leading to decreased anxiety and a calmer state of mind.
