What is Chiropractic Therapy
Chiropractic Therapy is a regulated health care profession trained at evaluating, restoring and maintaining physical function. It is a distinct form of care which can be performed both in isolation or in conjunction with other types of medical management.
Chiropractic Therapy can be useful in the diagnosis and management of a wide variety of injuries, disease processes, and other conditions.

– Identifying the Causes and Predisposing Factors.
Chiropractors are not only interested in the symptoms, but also the factors which contribute to the problem. Identifying factors such as poor posture, improper movement, muscle imbalances, poor work practices, or other bad habits allow interventions to be made more effective helping you recover quicker.
