Gentle treatment
for the nervous system
W
hen people think about
the kind of problems a
chiropractor might be able
to help with, they generally think of
low back pain, sciatica, whiplash and
frozen shoulder - those common
musculoskeletal ailments, that are proven
to respond well to chiropractic care.
What most people don’t realise is
the profound effect that chiropractic
adjustments can have on the nervous
system - and therefore pretty much
everything that happens in the whole of
the human body.
This was made particularly clear to
Cowes Chiropractic Clinic director
Rebecca Taylor recently when she spoke
about the way that dizziness and vertigo
responds well to McTimoney chiropractic
treatment.
This is because of the gentle and
specific nature of the neck adjustments,
and the corresponding potential to
improve nerve supply to the inner ear,
part of our balance mechanism.
The talk led to two, very different, new
patients presenting at the clinic with
dizziness and vertigo. One was male
and one female. One in their 20’s, one in
their 70’s. Both with misaligned necks,
one as the result of an accident, the other
as the result of a bad habit (wedging the
telephone between your ear and your
shoulder so you can hold a pen - a very
bad habit indeed!)
They were treated by different
McTimoney chiropractors at the clinic,
and are both now markedly better.
As might be expected, the younger

patient healed slightly more quickly
than the older one, but both now
report being able to do things that they
had previously been struggling with.
Interestingly both also report increased
energy levels, as they are no longer
finding balance difficult.
If you, or someone you know, are
suffering from this type of problem,
Cowes Chiropractic Clinic offers a free
15-minute assessment to establish
whether chiropractic treatment is
the appropriate method of care.
