Coastal Chiropractic

General information

Chiropractic is a drug-free, non-surgical healthcare system of examination, assessment, diagnosis, treatment and prevention. It is concerned with the framework of nerves, bones and muscles that control and support the body and the problems associated with it which may be caused by accidents, stress, lack of exercise, poor posture,illness and everyday wear and tear.

The gentle nature of the McTimoney method makes it a suitable treatment for people of all ages, from babies to those in the later stages of life and also pregnant women.

The technique is typified by a whole body assessment and swift, light force adjustments which make it a comfortable treatment to receive. The subtlety of the adjustment demands great sensitivity and skill from the practitioner. Many of our patients find the technique to be not only very effective but also relaxing. It is especially suitable for people who don’t like the cracking or popping sounds which may be generated during some other osteopath or chiropractic techniques.
