WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?


Spine

Chiropractic focuses on the intricate relationship between the structure (spine) and nervous system and how together they may affect your health.

With spinal adjustments and other soft tissue techniques, chiropractic may help to manage musculoskeletal dysfunction (1) by improving muscle tone (2) and stimulating nerve activity (3,4). This restoration of correct function to the spine has been shown to reduce pain (1).

The Chiropractic Works has been providing chiropractic care to our patients since 1994. Our philosophy is patient centred and your care is always tailored to your individual needs.

Choosing a chiropractor can feel like a complicated process so we welcome you to give us a call and we will be happy to speak with you about your options. Call us today on (03) 9457 5200
