As the main focus of Chiropractic is to restore motion to the spine and enhance the communication of the nervous system, some of the key signs that you could benefit from Chiropractic include:

• When you look in the mirror, you notice that one shoulder is higher than the other, or you have a slight head tilt
• You have reduced range of motion when turning your head from one side to the other
• You’ve been in an accident and/or experienced trauma of some kind
• You have headaches and/or a fuzziness in the head  
• You keep getting sick and just can’t shake the last cold you had
• You are pregnant, or are looking to get pregnant
• You are experiencing a lot of stress in your life
• You have children that are clumsy, keep getting ear infections or having learning challenges
• You have a spine and nervous system and want to enhance your wellbeing and see the value in looking after your health
• You don’t need to have pain to see a Chiropractor!

Chiropractic care is for everyone!  Just like sending your car off to the mechanic for a service or going to the dentist for check-ups, it is very important to have your spine and nervous system checked regularly.  This helps to promote smooth and optimal function of the spine and nervous system which enhances health and wellbeing.

Chiropractic is a natural approach to better health.  It is based on the science and philosophy recognizing and respecting the body’s innate healing ability.  Chiropractic focuses on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system.  A healthy spine is essential for optimal health and wellbeing!

Many factors contribute to the state of your health, but one of the most important, yet one of the most neglected is the function and balance of your nervous system.  Your nervous system is the master control system of the body - it coordinates and controls the function of virtually every cell, tissue and organ.  Your nervous system keeps you alive and healthy!

The spine encases and protects the delicate spinal cord.  Tension or abnormal motion of the spine results in interference with normal nerve function and brain to body communication.  This interference is termed a SUBLUXATION.

The ramifications of interference in normal nerve flow is dis-ease or dis-harmony within the body.  Chiropractors focus on improving the function of your spine - helping information to run freely throughout your nervous system.  

Stressors!  Things that cause tension to the body or alter the state of balance.

Stress can be categorised into three types:

Physical Stressors:

• Accidents
• Falls
• Slips
• Car accidents
• Sport injuries
• Prolonged ‘abnormal’ postures
• Repetitive overuse movements or positions
• And the BIRTH process.

Chemical Stressors:

• Toxins
• Additives
• Flavourings
• Preservatives
• Cigarette smoke
• Medications 
• Environmental pollutants
• Electro Magnetic Radiation

Mental and Emotional Stressors:

• Upsets
• Arguments
• Work pressure
• Peer pressure
• Relationship drama
• Financial worry

Adjustments are a specific, non-invasive force or motion applied to the spine to restore movement, improve function and  stimulate the nervous system.

Adjustments are very safe and as found in the New Zealand Governments “Commission of Inquiry into Chiropractic” it was concluded that; “spinal adjusting is a vital, very safe and clinically effective form of health care.  Chiropractors have more thorough training in spinal mechanics and spinal care than any other health professional.  Furthermore, chiropractic is scientifically based.”

Techniques vary from chiropractor to chiropractor and are tailored to each patient.  Dr Karen Gregory employs gentle manual adjusting in conjunction with other techniques. 

Chiropractic Has Developed Around These 4 Self-Evident Truths

1. The body is a self healing, self regulating organism.

2. The nervous system is responsible for coordinating the function of every cell, tissue and organ in the body. 

3. Subluxations (spinal misalignment) are the NUMBER 1 cause of interference with the body’s inborn or innate intelligence’s ability to self heal and self regulate through the nervous system.

4. Chiropractic is the only healing science responsible for locating and correcting subluxations through the Chiropractic Adjustment, thereby restoring the body’s ability to heal itself.

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.”  Thomas E Edison
