York chiropractic primary health-care treatments

Chiropractic is a primary health-care profession, so you do not need to be referred by your doctor, instead you may approach us directly.

A chiropractor is trained to diagnose your problem using careful examinations and x-rays/MRI scans where appropriate, and will refer you to another health-care practitioner if necessary.

Joints, bones and muscle problems?

Chiropractors treat problems with joints, bones and muscles, and the effects they have on the nervous system. Working on all the joints of the body, concentrating particularly on the spine, chiropractors use their hands to often make gentle, specific manipulations, to restore normal function, relieve pain and aid the body's natural healing ability.

Treatments catered to you

Chiropractic treatment can involve a range of other techniques, including massage, exercise and stretching advice. Every patient is carefully assessed and, if suitable, an appropriate treatment plan is designed to maximize their potential benefit. We are confident that our friendly team will see you through to recovery.
