What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic techniques were developed by Daniel David Palmer in America in 1895.

Chiropractic does not involve the use of drugs or surgery. A Chiropractor checks for misalignments that could put the body out of its natural balance. They work with the patient to create a suitable treatment plan that meets the individual's needs. By removing these subtle skeletal misalignments, mobility can be improved and pain alleviated, promoting natural healing and health.

There are over 250 types of Chiropractic Technique in the world. At Cheiron Chiropractic the main technique used is the McTimoney Method.

The following conditions can benefit from chiropractic care:

•  Back, neck and shoulder pain
•  Pain, discomfort and stiffness in joints
•  Migraine
•  Muscular aches
•  Sports injuries

Chiropractic is a health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health.  There is an emphasis on manual treatment including spinal manipulation or adjustment
