What is Chiropractic?
Doctors of Chiropractic are trained to diagnose, treat, manage and prevent disorders of the musculoskeletal skeletal system (bones, joints and muscles) as well as the effects these disorders can have on the nervous system and general health. They have a specialist interest in neck and back pain, but when they assess patients, they take their entire physical, emotional and social well being into account.
Chiropractors use a range of techniques to reduce pain, improve function and increase mobility, including hands-on manipulation to free joints in the spine. Chiropractic care involves safe, often gentle, specific spinal manipulation to free joints in the spine or other areas of the body that are not moving properly. These are known as ‘adjustments’.
Chiropractic is a regulated primary healthcare profession. The title of ‘chiropractor’ is protected by law and it is a criminal offence for anyone to describe themselves as a chiropractor without being registered with the GCC (General Chiropractic Council). All of our chiropractors are properly qualified and registered to practice.
Benefits of Visiting a chiropractor
Chiropractors must complete a five year university degree and as such, are primary health care providers. This means that like your general practitioner (G.P) they have comprehensive knowledge of all systems of the body and diagnostic procedures. This enables your chiropractor to thoroughly evaluate a patient and address disorders relating to the spine and nervous system.
As well as adjustments, chiropractors are able to offer a package of care which includes advice on self-help, therapeutic exercises and lifestyle changes.
Although chiropractors are best known for treating back and neck pain, which they do very well, patients also consult chiropractors regarding a range of other related physical conditions; headaches, migraines, whiplash, concussion, dizziness, vertigo, sciatic, knee pain, hip pain, tennis elbow and frozen shoulder to name a few.
Meet Our Chiropractor
Dr Hannah Emmett D.C BSc (Hons) was born in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, and is well travelled, having lived in Chelmsford, Lincoln, Cyprus and more recently the Bay area of San Francisco, California before returning to Wiltshire.
Growing up, my passion was dance, and in particular ballet, I unsuccessfully auditioned for the Royal Academy of Dance. It wasn’t my dance that let me down, it was my body. I was determined to dance despite 6months later struggling to walk, let alone dance. This is when I found Chiropractic. With the help of regular adjustments, allowing my body to heal, I was able to do my advance ballet, modern and tap exams. During this time, I was drawn to understanding the human body and its complexity deeper which then opened up the door to looking at studying chiropractic.
Chiropractic school for me wasn't easy it was a bumpy road, but between the rights friends and mentors, I graduated from the world-renowned Life Chiropractic College West, San Francisco,California.
There is a saying in Chiropractic: 'You don't choose Chiropractic, it chooses you" and this is definitely true for me. I am constantly amazing at how removing interference from the nervous system can optimise our body and I love getting to help people every day.
Dr Hannah is also one of 30 Chiropractors in the UK that specialised in a technique called Network Spinal.
