What is chiropractic care? An Oxford chiropractor answers..

Chiropractic care is a hands-on, movement-based approach to helping your body function better — by focusing on your spine, joints, nervous system, and posture.

Its suitable for both adults and children and at The Backstory, we treat patients starting from age 7 and above.

It’s built on a simple idea that:

When your body moves well, it tends to feel and function better too.
And when joints (especially in the spine) stop moving properly, everything around them — muscles, nerves, posture, energy — can get thrown off.

So what does a chiropractor actually do?

We look for areas in your spine and body that aren’t moving the way they should — joints that are stuck, tight, or out of sync with the rest of you.

Then, using gentle, specific techniques — usually with our hands — we help restore proper movement, reduce tension, and rebalance your system.

That might include:

  • Manual adjustments
  • Soft tissue work
  • Postural retraining
  • Breathing and mobility coaching
  • Advice on how to sit, move, stretch, or recover better in your actual daily life
  • And no, it’s not just for back pain.

People go to chiropractors for:

  • Neck pain and tension
  • Headaches (especially the ones that start in your shoulders or jaw)
  • Sciatica and nerve irritation
  • Stiffness that doesn’t go away with stretching
  • Desk-related posture issues
  • General body “maintenance” — to feel more mobile, balanced, and resilient

The real goal is..

Not just to get you out of pain — but to help your body move better, function better, and cope better with whatever life throws at it.

Because when your spine and nervous system are working well, everything else has a better chance of following suit.
