What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic is a regulated healthcare profession focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system—particularly involving the spine—and understanding how these issues can affect overall health. Chiropractors use a range of manual therapies, including spinal manipulation, mobilisation, soft tissue techniques, exercise prescription, and lifestyle advice.

Chiropractic care is holistic in nature, aiming to support the body’s natural ability to heal without relying solely on medication or invasive procedures. Treatment is tailored to the individual, based on thorough assessment and clinical reasoning.

Conditions Chiropractic Treatment May Help

Chiropractic care is supported by growing evidence and is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the UK for managing certain musculoskeletal conditions, particularly lower back pain. Below are some of the conditions that chiropractic care may help to manage:

1. Low Back Pain

One of the most common reasons patients seek chiropractic care is persistent or acute lower back pain. Techniques such as spinal manipulation have been shown to provide relief and improve function in cases of non-specific low back pain (NICE, 2020).

2. Neck Pain

Neck discomfort, whether from poor posture, desk work, or past trauma, may benefit from chiropractic approaches like joint mobilisation and posture correction exercises. Research shows that manual therapy can be as effective as physiotherapy in certain neck pain presentations (Hurwitz et al., 2008).

3. Tension Headaches and Migraines

For individuals experiencing cervicogenic (neck-related) headaches or migraines, chiropractic care focusing on the neck and upper back can offer relief. A 2011 systematic review suggested spinal manipulation may help reduce the frequency and intensity of certain headache types (Bronfort et al., 2011).

4. Joint Pain and Stiffness

Joint pain in the shoulders, hips, or knees can sometimes arise from biomechanical issues that chiropractors are trained to assess. Improving joint mobility and muscular balance can be an effective approach to long-term relief, especially when paired with exercise and lifestyle advice.

5. Sciatica and Nerve Pain

Pain radiating down the legs (sciatica) due to spinal disc problems or nerve impingement may also respond to chiropractic treatment. A multidisciplinary approach combining manual therapy with advice on movement and recovery strategies is commonly used in our clinic.
