What is chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a manual health profession. The aim is the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of neuro-musculo-skeletal disorders. It treats mechanical pathologies of the musculoskeletal system, in particular of the spine, but also of peripheral joints (shoulder, wrist, knee, hip, ankle, jaw, etc.) which result in pain, discomfort or limitations of movement.
​
Chiropractic is based on a global conception of the functioning of the body. It does not focus solely on the symptoms but seeks to identify the origin of the problem.
Chiropractic treatment is based on manipulations or mobilisations of the spine and peripheral joints of the limbs. These manipulations are precise, targeted, painless and adapted to each patient.
​
At the level of our spine, blockages can appear, preventing the nervous system from functioning at its optimal capacity. The body will then warn us and send us alarm signals which are pains such as lumbago, cervical pains...
​
Chiropractic is a natural and non-drug response to pain. Restoring mobility to the joints allows the body to regain its self-healing abilities and thus relieve pain.
The chiropractor is a first line therapist, which means that he is trained to provide care without medical advice.
