TREATMENTS

McTimoney Chiropractic

Chiropractic is aimed at improving the alignment of the skeleton, joint function and mobility. In turn this allows your nervous system to work more effectively, relieves pain and discomfort, and increases mobility. The focus is on restoring and maintaining good health.

Emphasis is placed on the spine, and the musculoskeletal and neurological systems, and how conditions affecting these areas can affect your health and performance.

McTimoney Chiropractic is a whole body approach suitable for everyone including children, pregnant women and the elderly. The method is known for its gentle and precise adjustments of the skeleton used to improve alignment, and the function of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. The focus is on restoring and maintaining good health.
