Chiropractic from the meaning 'done by hands' is a way of adjusting bones in the body to improve the alignment of the skeleton which helps the nervous system work more efficiently by restoring it's function. Chiropractic care aims to restore the body's natural balance by realigning the bones to relive pain and discomfort associated with the misalignment of bones and also to increase the mobility of the body.
Your spinal column is made up of 24 vertebrae plus the sacrum and coccyx. Throughout the spinal column, nerves exit directly from the spinal cord which is an extension of the brain. It transmits information to your body from the brain. If there is a blockage in the spinal nerves due to the vertebrae becoming misaligned then the body will not function correctly where that nerve supplies. Chiropractic acts to restore this function by manipulation of these bones.
A misalignment such as these can occur for many reasons, the most common being, incorrect lifting, poor posture, car or sporting accidents, falls and stress.
McTimoney Chiropractic is used at the clinic along with the sacro occipital technique and soft tissue work. These gentle and holistic forms of Chiropractic are suitable for babies right up to the elderly. The manipulations are quick and gentle making this particularly beneficial for the young, elderly and even pregnant women.
Laura Rigby BSc (Hons) MUCA LCC
Laura graduated from the McTimoney College of Chiropractic with a BSc (Hons) degree in Chiropractic.
I have always had an interest in the human body but knew that medicine wasn't for me. When I saw my father treated for a bad back by a McTimoney Chiropractor and the success of the results, I became very curious. I went on to have treatment myself for various ailments and was completely sold on the gentle yet effective method. I knew that Chiropractic was for me.
Since graduating, I have gained a wealth of experience treating newborn babies, people with sports injuries, general falls, teenagers and children, through to the osteoporotic patient and much more in between. Everyday there is a new challenge and a different condition which is what makes Chiropractic for me so much fun.
Through my own personal injuries, I have a particular passion for those suffering with shoulder and neck conditions and have benefited personally having treatment for a frozen shoulder.
