Your Professional Chiropractor in Mackay

So, What is Chiropractic Care About?

Health is based on the body's ability to communicate. Chiropractic care helps restore our brain-body communication, allowing our bodies to feel and function at their best. Our brain sends signals down to every cell in our body giving it the proper instruction to carry out the desired function. As we accumulate stress in our daily lives, it tends to disrupt the way our body communicates. Many of us have often felt those areas of stress or tension in our body which are sometimes experienced as pain or discomfort.

Our Chiropractor's Dr Marti Harris and Dr Rod Le Coz focus on the body's movement system; the complex interaction of nervous system, muscular system, and skeletal system. They look at how your body functions and how your spine impacts your health when there is misalignment.
