About Us

Chiropractors are specifically trained in assessing the condition and function of the spinal column and nervous system. Your nervous system is composed of the brain, spinal cord and nerves, which are protected by the skull and spinal column (vertebrae and discs). It controls all parts and functions of your body, maintains physical and mental well-being and constantly adapts your organ systems to whatever your day throws at your – from running for a bus, to digesting your food and repairing and relaxing at night to drift into a deep relaxing sleep.

Chiropractors detect and correct abnormal spinal misalignments - known as subluxations. Subluxations affect how well your nervous system can function – causing a breakdown in the communication between your brain and the different parts of your body. Although most people associate nerve pressure with pain, scientific research has shown that correcting misaligned or subluxated vertebrae (that were totally PAIN-FREE) may;
  • Improve control of your movement (1),
  • Improve muscle strength (2), and even
  • Lower your blood pressure (by the equivalent of taking 2 separate blood pressure tablets)(3).

The main objective your chiropractor has is to identify and eliminate any interference in the messages (called impulses) that flow between your brain and the different tissues in your body that keep you fit and healthy – so that you can regain your health and enjoy the quality of life that you deserve.

Chiropractic isn't about just fixing aches and pains - It's about enhancing your total quality of life! It's about improving the function of your nervous system - the master system and control system of your entire body. It's about making healthy lifestyle choices that enable you to reclaim your life with energy and passion!

The majority of patients seek Chiropractic care for relief from some form of painful injury - and that is normally all they get! We go far beyond this basic service and provide you with the care, information and guidance to get you to the peak of your health! We invest in the latest technology (including scanning technology used by NASA) and courses to provide you with the finest (and most comprehensive) Chiropractic care available.
You are only as old as your spine
– Joseph Pilates
Chiropractic care is a safe, natural and drug-free approach to health care that focuses on restoring the optimal health and protection of your nervous system – so that your body is able to heal and regulate itself from the inside out… Just as nature designed!
