FAQ

  • Chiropractors are specialists in assessing the spine and nerve system for dysfunction. Once located and anaylsed chiropractors carry out specific adjustments to restore proper spine and nerve system function which results in the body being better able to heal, regulate and adapt.

    Did you know chiropractic is the only health profession that specifically addresses nervous system function as it’s number one goal?

  • Everyone can benefit from chiropractic care! Whether you are a baby, a child, a pregnant mum, an athlete or a senior, the role of a family chiropractor is to address nervous system interference in you. When the brain and body are free of nervous system interference, people often experience better sleep, moods, mobility, energy, healing, immunity etc.

    • Aches and pains

    • Limited motion

    • Lack of energy

    • Immune compromise
