Spinal Manipulation Done By Chiropractors in Centurion

The chiropractor does not prescribe medication or perform surgery the way a GP or other medical practitioner do. He treats patients with mechanical disorders by manually manipulating the spine or neck to correct disorders and to bring about pain relief.

Chiro in Centurion are health professionals and they study for 6 years, thereafter they obtain a Masters Degree in Chiropractic. They are members of the Allied Health Professions Council and they maintain the minimum standards as set out by the Council. They are also members of the Chiropractic Association of South Africa (CASA). Their treatments are quick and safe; gentle manipulations are even performed on babies with great success.

The nerve paths run from the brain down the spine to all other parts of the body. If the chain of command has been disrupted, disease and illness can ensue. The spine consists of a series of vertebrae and disks in between them to protect the nerves. The disks also act as a cushion when a person runs or jumps.

The spinal cord consists of a gel-like inner core and a harder outer portion. Trauma, such as a motorcar accident or a sport injury can cause shifts in the spine. Other reasons such as chemical imbalances or stress can cause the disks and vertebrae to lose their intended positions and the result is pain, often excruciating pain. Patients suffer from a slipped disk when the outer portion tears and the gel push through into the spine.

The function of the chiro is to correct these spinal shifts, because even if it is only a minute move, it can have a chain effect. After the chiro has diagnosed the condition, he will suggest a series of treatments. A period of rehabilitation may follow during which time the patient will come in for minor adjustments if that is required. A period of maintenance, say every six months or so, will make sure that the spine is still in good order and a problem can be spotted long before it becomes a serious issue.
