How does it work?
Your spinal column is made up of 24 movable vertebrae, the sacrum, and
the coccyx. This column also houses the spinal cord through which nerve
information is transmitted around the rest of your body.
Whilst the spinal column maintains correct alignment, nerve
information is passed accurately. However, if any part of your spinal
column becomes misaligned then a nerve may become impinged, compressed,
or stretched, distorting the information that passes along it. This can
lead to pain, discomfort, or restricted mobility.
Misalignment
of the vertebrae or other bones
can occur for
many reasons, such as incorrect lifting, car or sporting accidents,
childbirth, falls, stress, repetitive strain injuries and poor posture,
and these conditions will all worsen over time if not corrected.
McTimoney chiropractors use only their hands to make
adjustments to the bones of your body. The key to the success of the
adjustments is in the speed, dexterity and accuracy with which they are
performed.
