Chiropractor Treatment in Liverpool
Liverpool Chiropractor
Specialists in the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of the spine and pelvis and the effect on the surrounding ligaments, muscles and nerves.
Chiropractic is based on the knowledge that tension, misalignment or altered function of your spine and pelvis interfere with the nervous system and the surrounding muscles and ligaments. This reduces your body’s ability to coordinate its function, adapt to changing demands and cope with lifestyle stresses.
The structure of your spine allows it to naturally absorb a large amount of Stress and tension. When one joint or region becomes tense and restricted, other parts of your spine that are moving well simply move more to compensate.
Your posture can be affected while your nervous system and body functions are dramatically reduced. Pain usually appears after many years, when your body is unable to absorb or compensate for any more stress or tension.
If you haven’t visited a chiropractor before, you might be missing out. Millions of people around the world have experienced the incredible benefits of chiropractic care.
Your Liverpool Chiropractor focuses on improving the function of your spine and pelvis, helping your nervous system and muscular system to function at its best. This helps improve flexibility and posture, makes it easier for your body to deal and cope with stresses of daily life and increase performance and wellness.
Working on all the joints of the body, concentrating particularly on the spine, chiropractors use their hands to make often gentle, specific adjustments (manipulations) and other joint and soft-tissue therapies, as well as giving exercises, and health and lifestyle advice, to help support the body’s natural ability to heal.

Your Body has sensors throughout the joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, organs and skin that relay messages throughout your peripheral nervous system, into your central nervous system (protected by your spine) to your brain. Your brain then interprets the messages then controls how your body responds.
Abnormal function, position or injury can cause a persistent disturbed sensory feedback to the central nervous system which may result in the feeling of pain and other problems.
Any stress placed on your body, such as:
- Emotional (Stress at work / relationships)
- Physical (Sports, Sitting too Long, Not Enough Exercise)
- Chemical (Food and Drink)
All affect your body, resulting, in certain muscles becoming overactive and tight, other weak. Joints being overloaded and nerves pinched and irritated. The result is pain and inflammation which can further affect your nervous system.
Chiropractic Care aims to establish the normal function of joints, muscles, ligaments, and nerves, throughout the body, to help restore normal feedback and function of these structures, to assist healing, reduce pain and increase wellness.

What's Involved?
The primary aim of chiropractic care given at Liverpool Chiropractic Clinic is to help restore the balance and symmetry of the body’s structure and function, in order to reduce pain and optimise and maintain health. To do this we try to help reduce the physical, chemical and nervous system stresses that we find.
The Techniques used include by your Liverpool chiropractor:
- Manipulation & Mobilisations (Gentle and Painless Impulses to Joints)
- Active Release Techniques (ART)
- Applied Kinesiology Soft Tissue Therapy & Massage Instrumented Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM) Taping (Kinesiotaping)
- Acupuncture Electrotherapy (TENs / Ultrasound)
- Hot & Cold Therapy Injury Rehabilitation Strengthening / Stretching / Core Stability Exercises Nutritional Advice Lifestyle Advice
Relief Phase
At the start of the treatment plan our goal is to reduce pain and increase function as quickly as possible. We will use soft tissue and spinal adjustments to improve the function of your joints and muscles, reduce overload, inflammation and muscle spasm. This usually involves a higher frequency of appointments, and you may not feel improvement straight away but within the first few weeks you should see significant changes.
Rehabilitation Phase
Once you are in less pain, it’s important to restore proper stability, joint mobility and muscular strength while preventing future relapses through specifically tailored exercises, core stability training and lifestyle advice. These treatments are less frequent and will place an emphasis on you to maintain these benefits.
Maintenance / Check Up Phase
Statistics show that back pain is often recurring. Now that you’ve spent a lot of time and effort getting your body working better, it makes sense to keep it that way. In this stage the appointments are further apart (sometimes every month, 3 months or even 6 months) and involves a thorough check up in order to prevent future relapses and maintain all improvements. How long you would like to benefit from chiropractic care is entirely up to you and a plan of care can be stopped at any time.
