What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a treatment where a practitioner called a chiropractor uses their hands to help relieve problems with the nerves, bones, muscles, and joints.
Problems can build up over many years or happen suddenly, but often there is no need to worry, a comprehensive check can be undertaken to detect the source of a problem and help ease your pain.
Simms Chiropractic offers a safe, gentle, specific technique to free the joints in the spine and other areas of the body that are not moving properly.
As well as manual treatment, Simms chiropractic can also offer a care plan which includes Sports and Bowen Therapy, advice on therapeutic exercises and lifestyle changes.
How Can Chiropractic Help?
The short version:
In first finding and then addressing dysfunction and finally keeping you working as well as can be!
The long version:
Dysfunction is commonly caused by Physical, emotional or chemical elements of daily life. Commonly resulting in pain, stiffness, feeling dizzy or heavy in areas. Your body will want to move or compensate if it cannot fix itself and will always do all it can to heal to the best of its ability, only sometimes that ability is limited.
Pain comes in many forms: Pins and needles, a deep ache or sharp sensations, burning and stiffness. Caused when an abnormal message travels along a nerve, the pain signals travel to the brain indicating a problem, your brain then computes and acts accordingly!
You may find you are changing your normal posture to relieve pain. It affects you more at night or sitting for long periods of time. You may even find that it has moved, feels different or is in two places now?
This dysfunction can stop you from feeling like yourself so you are not free to move as you should. BUT there is good news! Once detected we can address the problem.
Chiropractic is more than just releasing spinal fixations, although that is a key aspect of treatment! Simms Chiropractic takes your health and wellness seriously and will do all we can to get you back on your feet!
