What Is Chiropractic Care?

If you’ve never visited a chiropractor before, you must be wondering what chiropractic care is and how we're capable of making you feel, move, and live with vitality…

What Is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a natural health care profession that specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions related to the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, that is the muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves and joints of the body with a particular focus on the spinal column.

Chiropractors assess how the body moves and functions, considering factors such as spinal and joint mobility, posture and movement patterns.

Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, care is tailored to each person based on their assessment and needs. Chiropractors are able to apply a variety of non-invasive techniques to improve the function of the nervous system to alleviate pain, and enhance overall well-being.

The World Health Organisation (2005) defined Chiropractic as:

“A health care profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on general health. There is an emphasis on manual techniques, including joint adjustment and/or manipulation with a particular focus on the spine.”

At Balance Chiropractic + Wellness, we combine personalised, evidence-informed chiropractic care with an integrative approach that draws from both Western clinical principles and Eastern therapeutic philosophies. This allows us to consider each individual from a broader whole body perspective, tailoring care to each patients condition and goals.
