The gentle nature of the Mc Timoney chiropractic technique
makes it especially suitable for people of all ages
including young babies, pregnant women and the elderly.
The following conditions often benefit from treatment
:
• back, neck and shoulder pain , discomfort
and stiffness in joints and bones
• migraines and
tension headaches
• muscular aches and pains
•
sports injuries
Mc Timoney chiropractors use
their hands to make adjustments to the bones of your
body. If any part of your spinal column becomes misaligned
then a nerve may become compressed or stretched, distorting
the information that passes along it. This can lead
to pain, discomfort or restricted mobility.
The key
to the success of the adjustments is in the speed, dexterity
and accuracy with which they are performed.
Upon
feeling a problem, your chiropractor will use a number
of light and swift techniques, unique to
Mc Timoney
chiropractic to adjust the bone.
The two main styles are classical
chiropractic, which is based on the original techniques
of Daniel David Palmer, who founded chiropractic in
the late 1800's and a later version founded by John
McTimoney in 1972
The two are very similar,
but McTimoney involves a gentler approach and a greater
reliance on swift hand movements
