Chiropractic is a manipulative therapy developed in The United States of America over one hundred years ago by a man called D.D.Palmer. In that time many varyingtechniques and traditions have evolved-all however having the same aims. By correcting the alignment of the skeletal framework, particularly the spinal column chiropractic endeavours to;
-Restore nerve function -alleviate pain -promote natural healing and restore health
Our bodies can be thought of in terms of their constituent parts ie head, brain,eye,heart,lungs,kidney,leg,arm etc,etc. These constituent partscan be broken down even further into minute individual cells. The correct function of every organ and cell is controlled by that powerhouse we have called the brain. The connection between constituent parts and brain is the central nervous system. The majority of the central nervous system (the spinal cord)passes through our spinal column. The spinal column is made up from the individual vertebrae of our back bone. Any deviation or mis-alignment (chiropractors call them subluxations ) to these vertebrae can interupt the normal nerve supply. We see the problems exhibited as discomfort,pain and ultimately disease. So for chiropractors correction of the structure particularly the spine is paramount.
CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT
Chiropractic treatment consists of gentle manipulative techniques known as adjustments to restore correct function mobility and balance to the joints. Numerous methods of adjustments have evolved over the years and one of them is the McTimoney Chiropractic Technique.
McTIMONEY CHIROPRACTIC
John McTimoney developed his own whole-body chiropractic technique around 30 years ago. He based the treatment on the tried and tested methods of the American master D.D.Palmer,the originator of chiropractic.
The McTimoney approach is a safe and effective manipulative therapy with practitioners based right across the U.K.
WHY McTIMONEY CHIROPRACTIC
McTimoney Chiropractic is a straightforward method of adjusting the bones of the body comprising a variety of techniques using no instruments other than the hands of thee practitioner. To the observer McTimoney Chiropractic seems extremely light and almost incapable of producing any effect. The key to the success of the adjustments however is the speed, dexterity and accuracy with which they are performed. To this effect, most patients would assert thatthe treatment is both comfotable and in the main enjoyable.
Human beings have been adjusting/manipulating each other for thousands of years. Chiropractic has been around officially for just a century. A relative newcomer at around 30 years McTimoney chiropractic is growing ever popular and intends to be around for a good while yet.
