Chiropractic is a
profession that specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of
conditions which are due to mechanical dysfunction of the joints
and their effects on the nervous system. Chiropractors use their
hands to adjust the joints of the spine and extremities to improve
mobility and relieve pain. This treatment is known as 'adjustment'
or 'manipulation', and allows the body's own healing powers to
improve health and well-being.
Chiropractors do
not prescribe drugs or use surgical procedures and treatment is
suitable for everybody - from new-born babies to the elderly -
without a referral from a GP. However, with the ever-increasing
amount of clinical evidence of chiropractic effectiveness in the
treatment of a range of conditions such as back pain, headaches,
sports injuries, arthritis and many others, more and more GPs are
sending their patients to chiropractors for treatment.
The chiropractic
profession is regulated by the General Chiropractic Council (GCC),
which was established in 1999. All chiropractors must be
registered with the GCC in order to practise legally in the UK.
There is also
advice about what to expect when you go to a chiropractic clinic,
details about the difference between chiropractic and osteopath
treatment, and top tips for choosing the right chiropractor for
you.
So, if you're
ready to get started, return to the top of the page and enter your
town. When you make your selection, be sure to tell the person on
the phone you found their listing on
Your Local Chiropractor. You might also
want to ask for a free initial chiropractic consultation, as many
doctors will offer this to patients who are new to chiropractic.
This is a great way to meet your doctor and to help you determine
if chiropractic treatment is right for you!
