Chiropractic and Craniosacral Therapy

Chiropractors are concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, and the effects these may have on the function of the spine and the nervous system.

The neuro-musculoskeletal system can become restricted due to trauma,sport, bad posture etc.

A chiropractor identifies any restrictions, imbalances and dysfunction and uses spinal and peripheral joint adjustments and mobilizations to free joints in the spine or other areas of the body that are not moving properly, thereby allowing the nervous system to work more efficiently. In addition to chiropractic treatment you may also be advised on rehabilitation exercises, posture and lifestyle changes to support and improve your condition.

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a non- invasive, hands-on therapy that is used to relieve many different health and emotional problems. It is a powerful therapy that facilitates the flow of the body’s fluids, gliding of fascia and relaxation of the nervous system.
It works with the craniosacral system, which comprises the membranes, bones and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.

Patients find craniosacral Therapy effective for a wide range of problems associated with discomfort, pain and dysfunction.

Animal Chiropractic and Craniosacral Therapy

Like people, animals suffer from back, neck, pelvic and musculoskeletal problems and like us they can benefit from a chiropractic and/or a craniosacral therapy treatment. Animals who can be helped by the treatment include horses, dogs, cats and farm animals.

There are several symptoms that suggest your animal may benefit from treatment including:

• Uneven muscle development or atrophy.
  
  
• Lameness for a few strides after rest.
  
  
• Unexplained changes in behavious or temperament.
  
  
• Reluctance to exercise, or stiffness after exercise.
