WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?
Chiropractic addresses the underlying constraining patterns developed in life that affect the nervous system, from brain, spine down to the body. Here we place a greater emphasis on how the body holds, restoring the body to its natural alignment, aiming to provide greater functionality, lasting relief from pain and discomfort, better body integration and awareness. Chiropractic care requires your participation and active presence to achieve your goals.
​
By increasing the brain’s awareness of areas of balanced tone, the nervous system can become aware of both areas of high tension and areas which have disengaged, allowing the body to become more connected and balanced. This can lead to better posture, less pain, more functionality, more awareness.
NHS & HEALTHCARE INSURANCE
​​
Chiropractic is recognised by most health insurance companies including BUPA, AXA/PPP, Norwich Union, BHSF Vitality, Simply Health, HealthShield, Aviva, Prudential, and many others. Most insurance schemes will reimburse chiropractic fees. Some are ‘open access’ (no referral necessary) and others require either GP or consultant referral before your fees for chiropractic care can be claimed.
Contact your insurance provider for information regarding the reimbursement or fees. It may be that they require a plan of care, which can be submitted after the first visit.
​
Chiropractic care can be undertaken alongside other treatments you might be under, whether on the NHS or privately. Any queries about this can be taken up with your GP.
