'Chiropractic' is a health care discipline and profession that emphasises the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system.

Chiropractic concentrates on the unique relationship between our spine and our nervous system and its impact on our overall health and wellbeing. Our nervous system (brain, spinal cord and nerves) controls every part of our body including our muscles, joints and ligaments to how our organs and cells function. Chiropractic works by using gentle "adjustments" to remove any interferences to our nervous system.

How does chiropractic work?

Chiropractors have a minimum of 5 years of tertiary training (3 years Bachelor of Chiropractic Science, followed by a 2 year Masters of Chiropractic).

Chiropractors use gentle "adjustments" to correct any interferences to your nervous system.

There are various styles of chiropractic. At Ryde Natural Health Clinic, our Chiropractors Johanna and Angelo can adapt their technique to suit people of all ages and body types, from newborns & pregnant mums to the elderly.

Upon consultation, we will work with your body to provide adjustments to best fit your individual needs.
