In the McTimoney system of chiropractic we scan over the whole body in a fixed sequence and correct any misalignments that we find. Evaluation of misalignment is on the basis of symmetry and correction is by a quick light adjustment or impulse, which is always applied to a single bone or vertebra. It is also always adjusted towards the central or symmetrical position.
In this way the chiropractic treatment can be looked upon as a general alignment check and correction or as a way of correcting more serious misalignments and pains.
When there is no particular problem to be solved the treatment can be a pleasant general treatment similar to a massage, which will find and correct small misalignments before they cause problems.
It is a part of chiropractic philosophy that misalignments, particularly in the spine, will affect the nerves coming out of that part of the spine and may therefore affect muscles and joints. This is why this simple chiropractic treatment can be very effective in solving persistent joint problems.
Chiropractic may help to restore nerve function, alleviate back neck and shoulder pain, may help with discomfort, stiffness and pain in joints and bones, may alleviate migraine and tension headaches, sciatica and sports injuries. Treatment would usually take place on a weekly basis until improvement is clearly shown at which time further treatments would be required at a less regular frequency.
