Derived from the Greek Chiro (hands)-praktos
(to be done) meaning literally done by
hand. It is primarily the manipulation
or adjustment of the joints, where the
aim is to restore normal function to the
motion at the joint. |
| Chiropractic
is a primary health-care profession that
specialises in the diagnosis, treatment
and overall management of neuromuscular
conditions that are due to dysfunction
of the joints and muscles. The aim is
to maintain spinal and joint health to
keep you fitter and prevent or slow degenerative
processes. |
| There
is a huge variation in the type of treatment
given by different Chiropractors, Osteopaths
or Physiotherapists. Some practitioners
appear to only manipulate the spine, or
some may use gentler techniques or more
muscle work, or a combination of both.
Any therapist worth his salt should be
advising you on specific rehabilitation,
if they aren’t you will be more
likely to have recurrences of your pain
or maybe not get the result you could. |
| At
Back In Form we aim to give treatment
that encompasses all the hands on methods
possible to address the issues of locked
joints, stiffer joints through mobilisation,
massage techniques and / or acupuncture
for soft-tissue injuries, balance training
and specific rehabilitation program to
train correct movement patterns and stability.
It is an active treatment plan where we
work to train you, NOT passive care where
we do all the work. This should help to
ensure a more effective and hopefully
longer lasting benefit. |
| So
if you want to get out of pain but also
get your body working more efficiently
helping you to reduce inflammation and
irritation and the subsequent wear and
tear give us a call to discuss how we
can help you. |
