LA CHIROPRAXIE
Chiropractic is a healthcare profession specializing in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of neuro-musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those of the spine. It primarily relies on spinal and joint manipulations (also called chiropractic adjustments), but may also include muscle techniques, postural advice, and patient education. (see French Chiropractic Association)
FOR WHOM?
Athletes
Chiropractic care supports athletes through all phases of their training: injury prevention, performance enhancement, and recovery after exertion or injury. By working on joint mobility, muscle tension, and the proper functioning of the nervous system, it helps maintain a more flexible, responsive, and resilient body. Each treatment plan is tailored to the sport and the individual's goals, whether it's physical preparation, returning to sport, or optimizing performance.
Therefore, feel free to mention if you are an athlete or engage in regular physical activity.
Expectant Mothers
Chiropractic care supports pregnant women throughout their pregnancy by relieving common pains such as lower back pain, pelvic tension, and sciatica. Using gentle, safe, and tailored techniques, it helps women better manage the postural changes and physical demands of pregnancy. By working on pelvic mobility and muscle relaxation, chiropractic contributes to greater daily comfort, reduced pain, and a more serene preparation for childbirth.
Children / Teenagers
For children and adolescents, chiropractic care plays a vital role in monitoring and supporting growth. At a time when the body is rapidly changing, it is important to prevent the development of postural problems related to school bags, prolonged sitting, or screen time. Chiropractic care allows for the early detection and correction of potential imbalances, relieves musculoskeletal pain, and encourages good posture habits. It provides invaluable support for harmonious development and prevents discomfort in adulthood.
Adults / Active People
Chiropractic care is for active adults facing the demands of daily life, whether they have sedentary or physical jobs. For office workers, it helps relieve pain related to prolonged sitting (neck pain, lower back pain, muscle tension), while for manual laborers, it supports the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders and aids recovery after exertion. By addressing joint mobility and accumulated tension, chiropractic care helps individuals better cope with the demands of work, reduce discomfort, and regain greater fluidity in their daily movements.
Seniors
Chiropractic offers gentle and effective support for seniors, particularly for age-related joint pain such as osteoarthritis. Through adapted and non-invasive techniques, it helps maintain mobility, relieve stiffness, and improve daily comfort. The flexion-distraction table (Cox method) allows for gentle decompression work, especially beneficial for sensitive joints and chronic lower back pain. The goal is to promote a better quality of life by maintaining independence and well-being.
