What
is McTimoney Chiropractic?
Chiropractors
are specialists in the diagnosis and treatment of joint and muscle
disorders, which are a major cause of irritation to the nervous system.
The basic concept behind chiropractic relates to the fact that the
nervous system controls all organs and tissues of the body.
When vital nerve channels are interfered with, as can occur with
a variety of structural problems in the spine and body in general,
pain and ill health can be the result. McTimony chiropractic is a
gentle and effective treatment for the whole body.

can chiropractic help with?
Neuromuscular (nerve, muscle and joint) problems such as low back
pain, sciatica, disc problems, neck pain, headaches and migraine,arm
and leg pain. Also injury related problems such as whiplash and sports
injury.
Chiropractors employ a range of treatment procedures once a diagnosis
has been established, consisting mostly of specialised adjustments
(manipulations) in order to remove irritation to the nervous system,
aided possibly by postural advice, muscle balancing techniques, exercise
therapy and general advice about nutrition and lifestyle, if necessary.

to expect at a session

which type of treatment:
-Gentle, non-force adjustments to the whole spine

I have Chiropractic on my private medical insurance?

treatment. Some companies will reimburse the total fee
or pay a percentage of the costs.
