Chiropractor in Brighton and Hove

Modern chiropractic was founded by a Canadian, Daniel David Palmer in 1895. Most chiropractors see people of all ages, usually for problems (often pain) with joints, bones and muscles. Chiropractors place particular emphasis on the spine as it protects the most important system in the human body; the nervous system. The nervous system regulates the functioning of all body systems including heart, lungs and digestive system. Chiropractors use their hands to make gentle, specific adjustments (the chiropractic word for manipulation) to the spine and body in order to improve the workings of the nervous system. With an optimally working nervous system, your body is free to heal.

Doctors of Chiropractic recognize the value and responsibility of working in cooperation with other health care practitioners when in the best interest of the patient. Chiropractors do not use drugs or surgery.

Chiropractors are fully regulated by a government statutory body (The General Chiropractic Council) and since June 2001, law has protected the title of ‘chiropractor’. It’s a criminal offence to describe oneself as any sort of chiropractor without having undergone adequate training and being registered with The General Chiropractic Council (www.gcc-uk.org). There are currently 2200 registered chiropractors working full-time in the UK.
