What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is not a treatment, it is a profession, whose practitioners undergo a minimum of four years' full-time university training, followed by ongoing post-graduate study to deliver a comprehensive healthcare package. One of the tools used to do this is applying therapeutic, adjustive techniques to the spine and joints of the body. There are over 30 different techniques, each with dozens of different adjustments. Chiropractors typically use their hands or specialised clinical instrumentation to adjust the joints of the spine and body. The chiropractors at Yeovil Chiropractic Clinic are also trained in Western Accupuncture, which helps restore muscle function, relieve pain and decrease healing time. Worldwide, there are over 120,000 Chiropractors, practising in over 75 countries.
