Treating the cause, not the symptoms

Pain is a sign that something is wrong. The origin of pain is often from joints, muscles or nerves.
Painkilling drugs may mask the symptoms of a problem, but do not actually treat its cause.
Chiropractic works differently, and obtains pain relief by directly treating the origin of the pain.

Do I need a GP referral?

No, chiropractors are primary healthcare professionals, so you can consult them directly. Some health insurance companies will require a letter from your GP, so if you are looking to claim back for the treatment, it is best to check your policy.
