Chiropractic is derived from greek words and literally means 'done by hands'. It is an evidence based, primary healthcare profession with a holistic approach.

​

Most commonly we use our hands to provide an adjustment to specific joints that are restricted in their movement. This creates a change to neuromuscular activity and helps the patient (human or animal) achieve optimum biomechanical function and an increased range of movement. This can help support general wellbeing, reduce pain and stiffness and prevent injury. These changes can often be seen immediately after treatment, however a patient can continue to see positive results days and weeks after treatment with long lasting effects. We often use adjustments alongside other methods of manual therapy including soft tissue work, exercises and lifestyle advice. ​​

A Chiropractor is a regulated healthcare professional registered with the General Chiropractic Council with a university degree and masters in chiropractic. For a chiropractor to practice on animals, they must do a post-graduate course with further examinations, in which only chiropractors and veterinarians can undertake.
