What is Chiropractic?...

Chiro – hand; practic – done by

Chiropractic is a method of adjusting the bones of the body. It is done mainly by using only the hands, although sometimes adjusting instruments may be used.

The main purpose is…

… to correctly align the skeleton so that the nerves are not impinged (either by bone or tissues around the nerves) and therefore can function properly and/or more efficiently.

With the aim of…

… relieving the patient’s symptoms, increasing mobility and improving a patient’s general feeling of wellness.

Who may benefit from chiropractic?

If you suffer from any of the following conditions, then chiropractic may benefit you:

• Back, neck and/or shoulder pain
• Pain, discomfort and stiffness in joints
• Migraine
• Muscular aches
• Sports injuries
• Arthritic pain.

At High Peak Chiropractic, we use the McTimoney chiropractic technique. This method uses light and fast movements, which many patients find relatively gentle. As such it is suitable for patients of all ages, including babies and the elderly, and can also be used on pregnant ladies.
