Chiropractic Treatment

Chiropractic Treatment in the Isle of Man

Chiropractic is a health-care profession that specializes in the diagnosis, treatment and overall management of conditions that are due to problems with the joints, ligaments, tendons and nerves, especially related to the spine. Chiropractic treatment mainly involves safe, often gentle, specific spinal manipulation to free joints in the spine or other areas of the body that are not moving properly. Apart from manipulation, chiropractors may use a variety of techniques including ice, heat, ultrasound, exercise and acupuncture as well as advice about posture and lifestyle. Although Chiropractors are best known for treating back and neck pain, patients also consult chiropractors regarding a range of other, related conditions. By law, chiropractors must register with the General Chiropractic Council (GCC). It is an offence for anyone to call themselves a Chiropractor if they are not registered.
