Chiropractors using the McTimoney method of chiropractic use their well-tuned sense of touch to locate areas where these interferences exist. They use light-force adjustments, which feel comfortable to the recipient, to align and rebalance the body, typically working on the spine, pelvis and skull. Most people initially visit a chiropractor when they are experiencing pain. They soon find that they benefit from chiropractic even after the initial painful condition has resolved. This may express as a general sense of wellbeing, or improved function in some aspect of their body, for example, they might find they are sleeping better. Chiropractic has an important role in helping you optimise your health. Chiropractors adopt a holistic approach offering advice on lifestyle as well as how you use your body - aiming to reduce the recurrence of problems. Wherever possible, we offer self-help advice.
