McTimoney Chiropractic
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, and the effects these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health of people.
Chiropractic looks at movement and identifies areas of dysfunction; it uses manual treatments including spinal and peripheral adjustment and other joint and soft-tissue manipulation.
How Does McTimoney Chiropractic Differ From Other Chiropractic Methods?
McTimoney Chiropractic is a precise, gentler, whole body approach to Chiropractic. Whilst with traditional Chiropractic it is usual to hear a "crack" or a "crunch", this is not the case with McTimoney.
The gentle nature of chiropractic the McTimoney way makes it suitable for people throughout their lifetime from babyhood to those in later life.
