Grow healthy and tall with whole body wellness

2. The Chiropractic Approach
Chiropractic is an approach
to health and wellbeing
that centres around the
body’s own natural ability
to heal itself.
Given the right raw
materials, your body has a
miraculous ability to
regenerate cells that have
been damaged by trauma,
toxins or sickness.

3. The Human Body
The human body is
incredibly complex and
intricate. It’s made up of
over 75 trillion cells with
specialised functions that
adapt to your body’s
changing requirements...

4. The Human Body
You digest food, alter your
heart rate and blood pressure,
defend against bacteria and
viruses, heal wounds and
broken bones, and carry out
thousands of other essential
body functions without having
to think about them.

5. The Human Body
Central to all your bodily
functions is your nervous
system.
It consists of your brain, sense
organs, spinal cord and nerves
that branch out to every
single cell.
Your nervous system is the
most complex part of your
body.

6. A Natural Approach
Chiropractic is based on the
knowledge that tension,
misalignment or altered
function within your spine
(called subluxations) can
interfere with the flow of
information and energy
along your nerves. This may
dramatically affect the
function of your body in
many different ways.

7. A Natural Approach
Doctors of Chiropractic
focus on improving the
function of your spine,
which helps to free the
flow of information
throughout your nervous
system.
This helps your body to
better coordinate its
functions, adapt to stress
and heal itself.

8. The Nervous
System controls the
function of every
cell in your body.
Interference to
your nerves will
often result in
dis-ease

9. With Chiropractic, many
people naturally find relief
from aches, pains and the
symptoms of a huge range of
conditions, and grow flexible
and healthy without
overloading their systems
with painkillers, antiinflammatory drugs, and
other chemicals.
This is because Chiropractic
often gets to the cause of
the problem, rather than
just masking the symptoms.

10. Subluxations
A vertebral subluxation is an area of altered
spinal motion, tension or misalignment that
interferes with the flow of information and
energy along spinal nerves and throughout
your nervous system.
Although some are
obvious, many
subluxations exist
without apparent
pain or discomfort.

12. Causes of
Subluxation
The causes of Subluxation
can be classified into three
main types of stress:
Physical Stress such as
injuries, accidents, slips,
falls, the birth process,
prolonged abnormal
postures and repetitive
movements.

13. Causes of
Subluxation
Mental and Emotional
Stress such as
arguments, upsets,
personal traumas, work
pressure, life or career
changes.

14. Causes of
Subluxation
Chemical Stress
including toxins,
additives and chemicals
used in food
production, cigarette
smoking, medications
and other pollutants in
our environment.

15. Possible Effects of Subluxation
Low back pain, neck pain, headaches,
pain in other parts of the body

16. Possible Effects of Subluxation
Spinal degeneration or decay, reduced vitality
and energy levels, poor posture

17. Possible Effects of Subluxation
Reduced organ function, changes in
muscular tension, asthma and allergies

18. Adjustments
Adjustments are the
precise methods Doctors
of Chiropractic use to
correct subluxations and
improve the function of
your nervous system.
Adjustments are designed
to be as specific, effective
and comfortable as
possible.

19. Adjustments
Chiropractic has been
evolving for more than 100
years. During this time a
great number of different
styles and approaches have
been developed.
We use a wide range of
different methods adapted to
suit people of all ages and
body types, from newborns
to the elderly.

20. SOT
In this office, we use a
technique called ‘Sacro-Occipital
Technique’, or SOT.
Designed in 1925 and perfected
for over 50 years, this is one of
the most gentle techniques in
the Chiropractic spectrum.
It works by redistributing the
spinal fluid surrounding your
brain and spinal cord, to allow
your nervous system to function
optimally.
