Ashtead Chiropractic Clinic

Since its discovery in 1895 the fundamental principles upon which chiropractic is based have changed little. However what have changed are the levels of skill and knowledge that today's chiropractors possess. Chiropractic specialises in diagnosis, treatment and overall management of conditions which are due to mechanical dysfunction of joints, particularly of the spine and their effects on the nervous system. Chiropractic's primary goal is not simply to alleviate the pain that is often experienced in and around the back, although that is often one of the beneficial side-effects of chiropractic care. Instead chiropractors strive to ensure that the complex "communicationsuperhighway" within the spinal column called the nervous system, is able to accurately relay information back and forth between all parts of the body.

Chiropractors use a number of different techniques including manipulation to the joints of the spine or other areas of the body.
