What is Chiropractic?
The term “chiropractic” is derived from the Greek word “chiropraktikos”, meaning “done by hand”.
The World Health Organisation defines chiropractic as a health care profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic care emphasizes the conservative management of the neuromusculoskeletal system, without the use of medicines and surgery.
(World Health Organization (WHO) definition, Guidelines on Chiropractic (2005)).
Simply put, chiropractic care is the conservative management of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system through treatments that require the use of the hands known as “adjustments”. Treatments also include ergonomic and postural assessments, nutritional and lifestyle counselling, cold or heat therapy, therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises.

Improving your overall postural alignment and well-being
For many people, chiropractic care can help with common issues such as a sore neck, shoulders or back pain.
Chiropractors work to identify and correct the cause of these problems using manual techniques that have been shown to reduce pain and improve function.
These treatments are often more effective than medication for some conditions. Chiropractic care is an option that many people are turning to in order to find relief and help alleviate pain.
​
See below for more detailed information on common problems chiropractic can help with.
Neck pain is a common problem that can be debilitating.
Neck pain is one of the most common complaints we hear from patients. It can be caused by many different things, including poor posture, stress, or even a car accident.
​
The neck is a very complex area where many structures converge in one space. When any one structure is out of alignment or not moving as it should, pain can result in the neck muscles and joints.
We’ve found that chiropractic care helps to relieve neck pain and other symptoms associated with it because it realigns your spine and joints so they are in their natural position. This reduces pressure on the nerves which can cause you to feel better...sometimes instantly!
​
Let us take care of your neck pain so you can get back to living life without worrying about it! Our team will work together to find out what's causing your neck pain and fix it once and for all.
You deserve better than that nagging ache or sharp throbbing sensation in the back of your head.
Experiencing back pain?
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people visit their doctor. It can be caused by a number of different things, so it's important to get an accurate diagnosis before starting any treatment.
​
We will work with you to find out what's causing your symptoms and then provide the best possible care plan to relieve your pain and get you on the road to recovery as soon as possible!

As with back, and neck pain, headaches are another common presentation we see at JC Chiropractic.
​

At JC Chiropractic, we look deeper at what may have caused or has contributed to your headaches.

Have you lost that spring
in your step to sciatica?
Sciatica is a type of nerve pain involving the sciatic nerve, nerves which branch from your lower back through your buttocks and travel down each leg to your feet.
​
Common symptoms of sciatica can include: sharp or dull pain; restricted movement in feet and legs; leg pain which can worsen when sitting; intense pain making it hard to stand; tingling and numbness.
​
Chiropractic has been shown to be very effective in the treatment and management of sciatica. This may involve: chiropractic adjustments; chiropractic exercises; heat and cold therapies; and lifestyle changes.
Your chiropractor at JC Chiropractic is well trained and equipped to assess the underlying cause of your sciatica, so that you can get back to enjoying life.
Do you want to improve
your posture?
Poor posture is another common complaint we see a lot at JC Chiropractic. It is directly related to the alignment of the spine and muscles.
​
Poor posture can arise from various factors: sitting incorrectly, poor choice of footwear, overuse of mobile phones, carrying heavy bags, pregnancy or extra body weight.
​
Chiropractic care is suitable for a number of postural problems such as: kyphosis (hunchback); forward head posture; scoliosis; damage or changes to the normal curvature of the neck, midback and low back.
