Chiropractor Near Chatswood – The Benefits of Chiropractic Care
The functioning of your entire body including your muscles, joints and ligaments, your internal organs and and even the functioning of individual cells, is controlled by the nervous system (brain, spinal cord and nerves). When there are interferences to this system, numerous adverse health effects can result. Chiropractors are specifically trained to detect and if needed, correct changes to your spine that may be interfering with your nervous system.
Regular Chiropractic treatments to your spine will allow your nervous system to function at its optimum level – impacting your overall health and well-being and preventing mechanical and musculoskeletal disorders. How? Well Chiropractors work to optimise the position of your spinal vertebrae and joints in order to create a system where nerve signals are able to flow freely throughout your body, eliminating illness and pain. Your Chiropractor will not use drugs or surgery but rather gentle ‘adjustments’ that correct the position of your vertebrae and the mobility of your spinal joints. The chiropractic adjustment has been proven to be an effective and safe way to achieve a state of overall good health.
Bu optimising joint mobility and vertebrae position to remove interferences to your nervous system, this may be able to assist with:
- Neck Pain, headaches and migraines
- Lower back pain, hip pain, Sciatica and disc symptoms
- Pregnancy and pediatric related symptoms
- Concerns with flexibility and coordination, balance, strength and rehabilitation
- Reduced energy, vitality or immunity
- and much more!
