About chiropractic
Chiropractic Adjustment
  • Many people are looking for a more natural approach to their healthcare
  • Chiropractic uses no drugs or surgery and is extremely safe
  • Published research is now validating the results that chiropractic patients have experienced over the last 100 years
  • Chiropractic is a highly cost-effective health strategy for both patients and third-party payers
  • Today's chiropractors are highly-qualified professionals who are committed to helping babies, children and adults achieve improved health and function
Chiropractic care is aimed at the detection and correction of abnormal spinal movement and position. After thorough examination and analysis, chiropractors use carefully controlled and directed pressure (adjustments) to restore proper spinal function and thereby reduce interference to the vital nervous system. Chiropractors also recognise the importance of nutrition, exercise and other lifestyle factors on overall health and will often give patients advice on these topics.

Doctors of Chiropractic undergo a minimum 4-year full-time university education with an emphasis on neurology, diagnostic imaging, physiology, and spinal adjusting. In many cases the actual course is five years to Masters level.

Chiropractic services delivered by members of the CAI are covered by the major health insurers (BUPA, VHI, HSA, and Garda Society) – be sure to check your individual policy for specific inclusion and claim details.
