London Chiropractor
Chiropractic is a primary health-care profession that specializes in the diagnosis, treatment and overall management of conditions that are due to problems with the joints, ligaments, tendons and nerves of the body, particularly those of the spine. Treatment consists of a wide range of manipulative techniques designed to improve the function of the joints, relieving pain and muscle spasm. Chiropractic does not involve the use of any drugs or surgery.
"...chiropractic has been demonstrated to be more effective for the management of lower back pain than conventional hospital outpatient care"
British Medical Journal, 2004.
As a result of the considerable scientific body of evidence regarding chiropractic care (spinal manipulation), international clinical guidelines in both Europe and North America recommend spinal manipulation as a first "line of defense" in treating spinal conditions. Major clinical studies comparing chiropractic care of spinal ailments with other commonly used treatments have been carried out in the UK and published in the British Medical Journal. These studies have proven that chiropractic care provides excellent results and is also cost-effective.

The National Institute of Clinical Excellence (N.I.C.E.) recommends chiropractic care for both acute and chronic back pain patients.
"...spinal manipulation is a cost effective addition to "best care" for back pain"
British Medical Journal, 2004.
Due to the fact that most conditions have many contributing factors and indeed many differing causes, it is advantageous to consult a chiropractor who works within a group of established health care professionals. The most relevant health professionals for chiropractors to work with are consultant rheumatologists, spinal and extremity surgeons, physiotherapists, massage therapists and others.
A team approach – when necessary – has been shown to be far more effective than results achieved by an individual practitioner. It should be obvious that no singular health profession can address the incredible variety of patients that seek help.
