Chiropractic is a profession which specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions which affect the neuromusculoskeletal system especially as they relate to the spine. The spine has both a structural function and a kinetic function. Each vertebra allows for the transfer of gravitational and impact forces as it moves with the other 24 vertebrae in the chain that also houses the spinal cord. This system can be interrupted as one of the individual vertebrae becomes jammed or fixed in a position. It is this fixation that causes mechanical, chemical and neurological irritation that leads to neck and/or back pain, joint degeneration, muscle spasm and muscular trigger points. Chiropractors evaluate the biomechanical structure and function of the spine and determine that each vertebra is moving correctly, vertebrae that are fixated are manipulated using high speed, low force ‘chiropractic adjustments’ that restore the vertebral movement and remove joint irritation. Numerous studies have found Chiropractic Adjustments to be a safe and effective treatment method for lower back and neck pain. Adjustments of the rest of the joints of the body mean that any condition that is related to a joint can potentially be helped though Chiropractic treatment. Dr. Matthew Walters is a registered Chiropractor who studied at the University of Johannesburg and has further training in Chiropractic Torque Release Technique and Biopuncture administration. He also has experience from working on The Sunshine Tour (golf tournament). Dr. Walters has interests in sport, health and wellness and performance optimization.
