The examination of the spine to evaluate structure and function is what makes chiropractic different from other healthcare procedures. Your spinal column is a series of movable bones that begin at the base of your skull and end in the centre of your hips. Thirty-one pairs of spinal nerves extend down the spine from the brain and exit through a series of openings. The nerves leave the spine and form a complicated network that influences every living tissue in your body. If these nerves are irritated for any reason, such as misalignment in the spine, they commonly bring about pain, muscle spasm and a number of sensations, for example tingling or numbness in varying parts of the body.
Causes of misalignments in the spine can be numerous, including accidents or trauma, emotional or physical stress, overexertion or poor posture. Your Uckfield chiropractor will locate these misalignments and remove them, causing a stop to the irritation of the spinal nerves.

Uckfield chiropractic treatment varies depending on the presented condition, but will consist of a wide range of specific gentle manipulation and soft tissue techniques designed to improve the function of the joints, relieving pain and muscle spasm. It does not hurt and is perfectly safe.

The effects of a single treatment session lasts only a few days, but as each session builds on the one before, although you may need several sessions to achieve a lasting improvement it will not involve a lengthy process. The number of sessions needed depends on the individual, and will always be discussed throughout the care.

Alongside the physical care, chiropractic also places an emphasis on nutritional and exercise programs, and wellness and lifestyle modifications for promoting physical and mental health, and to strengthen your body. While chiropractors make no use of drugs or surgery, they do refer patients for medical care if indicated. The chiropractors in Uckfield have an excellent relationship with the local GPs of Uckfield and the surrounding areas.
