Whatever the age of the person or animal, their chosen life style, living environment, activity or sport; the general and physical health, well-being, quality of life, posture and sporting performance of the person or animal can normally benefit or be improved upon with the aid of chiropractic treatment. Chiropractors believe that the correct functioning of the nervous system is paramount for a healthy body. Chiropractic is concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of biomechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on physical and general health. Chiropractic treatment is a method of improving skeletal alignment so that the nervous system can work as efficiently as possible, increasing mobility of the joints and associated musculature and providing relief from pain and discomfort. Chiropractors use manual techniques to manipulate specific joints and muscles that may be causing back, neck, pelvic and musculoskeletal problems. There are a number of different chiropractic techniques that are practiced universally; Waterside Chiropractic offers the McTimoney Chiropractic technique together with soft tissue work which is recognised for being a relatively gentle, precise, whole body approach to chiropractic care for both humans and animals.
