Frequently asked questions about Chiropractic
-
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a natural Healthcare profession concerned with the function of the Spine and the Nervous System that it protects, and the body’s innate (inborn) ability to heal itself. Originally founded in 1895 by Daniel David Palmer who delivered the very first Chiropractic Adjustment.
Chiropractic adjustments delivered often by hand, aim at improving the function of the Spine and optimising the nervous system to better deal with physical, chemical and emotional stressors and reducing pain and symptoms in the process.
Since the day it was founded Chiropractic has built a huge reputation through helping thousands and thousands of people globally suffering with pain and other Health issues.

What is the ‘popping’ noise you can hear with some adjustments?
When an adjustment is delivered by your Chiropractor sometimes a popping noise is produced within the joint of the spine being adjusted. It is common misconception that it is the result of two bones rubbing into each other, but it is simply a release of gas within the joints and it is harmless. It’s the result of some adjustments but not the purpose.
