What is Chiropractic?
​
Chiropractic is a regulated primary healthcare profession. Chiropractors are trained to diagnose and treat mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints and muscles). Chiropractors have a particular interest in the spinal joints, but are able to treat all joints of the body including the extremities.
Chiropractic is a manual therapy and so Chiropractors use hands-on techniques to adjust joint alignment and to help support the body's ability to heal itself without surgery or medication.

Who will I see?
​
Kanika Basra operates her own business out of Hartwood Health.
She is passionate about helping people who require Chiropractic care, utilising natural and safe methods without the use of drugs and surgery.
Her desire to become a chiropractor stemmed from the notion of delivering a naturalistic way of healthcare, as she believes that people are now far more aware of the benefits that complimentary treatments can offer.
Kanika believes that the power of using a simple tool such as one’s hands to relieve pain through Chiropractic treatment, is the very thing that drives her passion for natural medicine.

In her spare time, Kanika enjoys working out at the gym and spending time with her family and friends.
