WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?
"Chiropractic is a primary health-care profession that specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and overall management of conditions that are due to problems with the joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves, especially related to the spine. Chiropractors use their hands to treat injuries involving bones, muscles and nerves."
Chiropractic treatment involves safe, gentle and specific manipulation and mobilisation to ease joints in the spine and other parts of the body that are not moving properly or require extra mobility. As well as manipulation and mobilisation, chiropractors also use a wide variety of methods including massage, exercise, nutritional advice, taping, ultrasound, and many more to get to the root cause of your problem and prevent it from returning.
Although Chiropractors are best known for treating back and neck pain successfully, patients also consult Chiropractors regarding a wide range of injuries and problems.
Since I have been attending the clinic my back has felt great and has released the pressure I was feeling.
I am extremely happy with the treatment I have received and would recommend Bateman Chiropractic to family and friends.
