Chiropractic care is a holistic health approach that focuses on the spine and its relation to the nervous system. “Chiropractic” means “to be done by hand.” Chiropractors use adjustment methods to help patients maintain good health without medication or surgery. Nerves travel from our brain, through our spine, exiting holes on each side of our vertebrae where they travel, sending messages throughout our body-this is called our nervous system. The communication within our Nervous System allows us to adapt to the changing and stressful environment that we live in. Different events in our lives put stress on our Nervous system and decrease its ability to adapt to creating imbalances in the spine. Some signs of spinal imbalances include injury, low energy, decreased immune function and aches and pains. Our role as chiropractors is to locate these areas of spinal imbalances and deliver specific adjustments to them allowing the nervous system to function more optimally. SOT is a system of chiropractic originally developed by Dr M.B. DeJarnette. Best known for ‘using blocks’, It involves a detailed analysis and correction of the spine, pelvis, cranium extremities and visceral systems. We also utilise a number of other techniques, such as diversified, Thompson (drop table), activator, pediatric and pregnancy-specific techniques and cranial work. Rather than a one size fits all approach, we take your preferences into account when we meet with you, and utilise what is needed for your body on the given day.
