How does chiropractic work?
All the functions of your body are controlled by your nervous system. If the vertebrae in your spine are out of alignment or they are not moving properly, the nerves leaving the spinal cord branching out to every part of your body can become pinched, trapped or irritated. This can then cause many symptoms such as neck or back pain, weakness, numbness and tingling. It will affect the function of your whole body. Chiropractors are trained to examine you and detect areas which are not functioning normally. The chiropractor corrects the joint dysfunction by using safe, gentle mobilization to restore normal alignment and motion. This reduces the interference to your nervous system and your body can then go on to heal itself, naturally.
How long will it take for me to get better?
This varies from person to person. It depends on what is wrong with you, the severity of the complaint, how long you have had the problem, your age, general health, occupation and lifestyle. Some people only require a few visits whereas others need a longer course of treatment.
