Every patient wants something different: to return to activity after an injury, maintain flexibility, shave minutes off their marathon time, or continue to kick a football with their grandchildren. Chiropractors treat problems with your joints, bones and muscles and the effects they have on your nervous system. Working on all the joints of your body, concentrating particularly on the spine, they use their hands to make gentle specific adjustments (the Chiropractic word for manipulation) to improve the efficiency of your nervous system. Physiotherapy can help to restore movement and function if you are affected by injury, illness or disability. It takes a holistic approach that involves you directly in your own care. Physiotherapy can be helpful for people of all ages with a wide range of health conditions including problems affecting the bones, joints and soft tissues such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and sports injuries.
