What do Chiropractors do?

The Chiropractors at Shoalwater are spinal health experts. We help restore proper spinal biomechanics and improved nervous system function.

After reviewing your history and discussing your specific problem, a thorough orthopaedic, neurological, and chiropractic examination is performed. These examinations help us identify specific areas of spinal malfunction and locate the resulting nervous system deficit.

The findings of these examinations are explained and then a plan of chiropractic adjustments are recommended. 

We aim to improve nervous system function primarily through these adjustments, removing any interference that may be impairing normal health.

Progress is monitored with periodical examinations and follow-up reports.
