Chiropractic focuses on helping the body’s innate ability to heal, allowing our body to express it’s full health and life potential. It is based on the principle that the body is an intelligent self-healing, organised being. Your body wants to be healthy and vital and is striving to do this every minute of the day.

The body’s control system is the nervous system, made up of the brain and spinal cord, and the vast network of nerves throughout the body. This is what controls, communicates with and co-ordinates all of the other systems, telling every tissue and organ what to do and receiving information about what is happening in the body. This system is so vital to survival and optimal health that it is seriously protected by being encased in solid bone ( skull and spine ). During foetal development this system is the first to form, and then the other vital organs and systems develop from that central control system.

When your nervous system is interfered with in any way, information being relayed between the brain and the rest of the body, and then in reverse again, is altered or hindered or even stopped. This means that the body’s innate ability to stay well and heal is disturbed and held back, leading to disorder and a reduced life expression.
