What do we treat

Chiropractic is a healthcare profession that focusses on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, with special emphasis on the spine. It emphasises manual therapy including spinal manipulation and other joint and soft-tissue manipulation, joint mobilisation, and includes exercises, and health and lifestyle counselling

By far the most common conditions that chiropractors are known to treat are back and neck pain, however, we treat many more conditions than that. In many cases the spine is viewed as the source of the complaint.

Based on all evidence submitted and reviewed to date, chiropractors may claim to treat the following conditions:

Ankle sprain (short term management)
Cramp
Elbow pain and tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) arising from associated musculoskeletal conditions of the back and neck, but not isolated occurrences
Headache arising from the neck (cervicogenic)
Inability to relax
Joint pains
Joint pains including hip and knee pain from osteoarthritis as an adjunct to core OA treatments and exercise
General, acute & chronic backache, back pain (not arising from injury or accident)
Generalised aches and pains
Lumbago
Mechanical neck pain (as opposed to neck pain following injury i.e. whiplash)
Migraine prevention
Minor sports injuries and tensions
Muscle spasms
Plantar fasciitis (short term management)
Rotator cuff injuries, disease or disorders
Sciatica
Shoulder complaints (dysfunction, disorders and pain)
Soft tissue disorders of the shoulder

This list is made up of conditions where there is good medical evidence for Chiropractic treatment.
