What is Chiropractic Treatment?
Many people assume that Chiropractic treatment only deals with back, neck and head pain. However, the depth, breadth and scope of the discipline reach much further than that.
The chiropractic profession employs a wide range of tools and techniques, including massage and various other therapies for muscles and joints, and some chiropractors can offer dry needling (commonly known as acupuncture). At AECC Southampton, we adopt a holistic approach to the problem in question, taking into account important things like your general health and lifestyle as well as examining the site or sites of your pain.
What Chiropractic treatment is
Chiropractic treatment involves the use of techniques such as manipulation of joints in the spine to restore their function.
As well as this, we look at your lifestyle and medical history and make sure that we have taken all factors relevant to your age and level of discomfort into account at all times.

Potential risks of treatment
Chiropractic is a safe and effective option for treatment. Like every medical procedure, there are slight risks associated with treatments like neck and spine manipulation. However, chiropractic treatment carries fewer risks than many other treatments for your problem.
