What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic comes from the Greek word meaning 'chiro' hand, and 'practikos' to practise. So Chiropractic literally means 'to practice by hand'.

Chiropractors in plain English, are experts in the care of bodies, nerves, muscles and connective tissue that make up about 60% of your body.

The main Chiropractic technique is to very accurately and gently manipulate or 'adjust' the spine using hands to improve the efficiency of the nervous system and release the body's natural healing ability.

Chiropractors are trained to modify their treatment according to the medical history, age and fitness making chiropractic suitable for all types and ages of people from babies to elderly people, from pregnant women to active sports people.

Chiropractors follow a recognised medical training including the taking and reading of x-rays and are Doctors, registered and regulated by The General Chiropractic Council.
 

What symptoms do Chiropractors help?

Much research is carried out by the professional bodies showing that chiropractic can help back pain, neck pain, arm pain, leg pain, rsi, headaches, migraines, sciatica and a host of other day to day aches and pains.
 

Where are Chiropractors?

Treatment is generally available privately in Brighton, Hove, Sussex and Chiropractors can be found listed in our internet search directories or in telephone directories. Chiropractic is becoming increasingly well known in the UK with more practices setting up businesses down the local high street.
 

Personal Chiropractor Referral

Much of Chiropractic treatment, too, can be by personal referrals where a friend might have experienced back pain and found a local Chiropractor, that they are happy with their care.
Ask friends, they may have seen one or know of a friend who can refer one.
 

How much does Chiropractic treatment cost?

Costs vary to visit Chiropractors across the UK. Chiropractors undertake work for most major Health Insurance providers too - whilst GP referral and funding can be difficult to obtain. Extra costs may be charged if treated as an emergency.
Check beforehand the cost of a treatment plan; account facilities may be available.
 

Do I have to book to see a Chiropractor?

Some Chiropractors are so busy that they are not easy to book with immediately and may even operate waiting lists. Others Clinics may leave a booking free every day to see new patient case; much depends on the number of Practices operating in that location. Advice can be 'to shop around'.
 

Can I undertake other exercise whilst undergoing treatment?

Ask your Chiropractor. Some exercises are actually beneficial, for example, Pilates is highly recommended by Chiropractors.
See our Pilates page here for further information »
 

What happens when I feel better?

Advice by the Professional bodies is to continue with 'maintenance' treatments - a little like servicing a car. Maintenance treatments may be every two months or greater.
 

Treatable symptoms may include back pain, lower back pain, neck pain, arm pain, headaches, migraines, fatigue, poor concentration, grinding teeth, stress, whiplash, shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, tendonitis, carpel tunnel syndrome, rsi, leg pain, knee pain, sciatica, groin and thigh sprains, hamstring and calf sprains.
