Chiropractors undertake 5 years of university study to be able to diagnose and treat a vast array of musculoskeletal problems, like neck pain, headaches, back pain, and sciatica. Chiropractors specialize in the spine – how it moves and how it functions. Chiropractors understand that when the vertebrae in the spine are not moving correctly this can cause pain, stiffness, and other symptoms, but that it also has an effect on how the nervous system functions.

This is important because we know that the brain and nervous system controls and coordinates all functions in the body.

Often the pain and dysfunction we experience can be caused by an accumulation of stress on the body, creating tension that the body stores. To really get to the cause of your symptoms, it is vital to look at what physical, chemical, and emotional stressors you have in your life.
