What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic Care in Bridgend & the Vale of Glamorgan:

Chiropractic care is a natural, non-invasive approach to health that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders of the neuro-musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. Chiropractors use hands-on adjustments, called spinal manipulations, to correct misalignments, improve nervous system function, and support the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care:

Chiropractic treatment offers a wide range of benefits, making it suitable for both pain relief and long-term wellness, including:

Effective pain relief for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint discomfort
Improved mobility and range of motion
Better posture and spinal alignment
Enhanced flexibility and physical performance
Overall wellness and preventative health support

Regular chiropractic adjustments can help address the root cause of discomfort rather than simply masking symptoms, allowing you to stay active, energised, and functioning at your best.

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it can come with its own set of physical challenges.

Chiropractic care offers a gentle, natural way to support your body during this incredible time. By focusing on the alignment of the spine and pelvis, we help optimise nerve function and promote balance throughout the body. Our techniques are carefully adapted to the changing needs of pregnancy, supporting both your comfort and your growing baby.

To enhance your chiropractic care, many expectant parents also benefit from gentle daily movement practices. Spinning Babies® offers simple, effective exercises designed to support pelvic balance and encourage optimal foetal positioning.

Using very gentle and precise adjustments, we help ensure your baby is free from any restrictions that could be affecting their comfort or development.
