Thank you for your support and custom over the past 11 years. Yoga continues. 

Chiropractic involves the diagnosis and subsequent treatment of problems relating the the spinal joints and associated soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, nerves).  Most people hear the word 'Chiropractic' and think 'backs'.  In fact, it is used to treat a wide variety of injuries and other health problems by improving functionality of the joints and nervous system.  Most people first see a Chiropractor for their neck or back and are subsequently treated for other 'niggles' elsewhere which may arise.  Others turn to Chiropractic care as a 'proactive' rather than 'reactive' choice of healthcare/treatment and in this way often prevent problems from arising.

While Chiropractors may advise you take basic anti-inflammatory medication (eg Ibuprofen) to help you with your pain initially, they do not prescribe medication. They will, however, advise on diet and lifestyle changes you could make for improved health generally and to help speed recovery.  Chiropractic is a completely natural, surgery and drug free way of treating a huge variety of problems. 

Many people worry about their pain returning once their course of treatment is over. An occasional ''top up'' treatment reduces the chances of this in addition to correcting any faulty movement patterns (eg incorrect lifting)  or muscular imbalances which may have contributed over many years to their current issue. Chiropractors are extensively trained in Rehabilitation (exercises) similar to those which you would expect from a Physiotherapist. Chiropractors will identify which muscles are weak or tight or not firing well and prescribe exercises to correct accordingly: imbalances between paired muscles often result in twists/distortion of the pelvis/spine/joints, the end result of which is usually pain. By correcting imbalances, you are likely to have less chance of relapse.

On booking a New Patient appointment, we will send you links to two secure online forms which we ask you to complete before you arrive for your treatment.  These are: General Consent & Contact Details Medical History relating to both your current problem as well as your general health status.  These questions are important as they allow us to accurately diagnose your pain and therefore decide on the best course of treatment. If you are unable to complete these online, paper forms will be provided.  On arrival, you and your Chiropractor will review the information you have provided and this will be followed by a full physical, orthopaedic and neurological examination, after which your diagnosis and treatment plan will be discussed.   Healing times differ between individuals but your Chiropractor will advise on approximately how many treatments you are likely to need. You will of course have time to ask any questions and are welcome to bring a partner/friend/chaperone with you. We can usually treat you at the end of your first consultation but in some circumstances we may need to refer you for an MRI/X-ray/Ultrasound first.  Your treatment is bespoke: you will not be treated in the same way as others. Treatment includes a variety of methods including mobilisations, manipulations, soft tissue techniques including fascial release, trigger point therapy, & Graston, PIR and other stretch techniques, blocking (SOT) and activator technique.   We have a strong interest in rehabilitation and you will be given exercises during your treatment and after to speed recovery/prevent relapse.  We may also suggest both temporary and long term lifestyle changes which may help. 

Osteopaths work in a very similar way to Chiropractors. There is a slight difference in the techniques, but ultimately, the goal is the same as that of a Chiropractor: to get you functioning well and feeling better!

Many people are under the impression that Chiropractors/Osteopaths treat only backs and necks.

• Ankle sprains 
• Back and neck pain or stiffness or tension (acute and chronic, may be postural related)
• Buttock and groin pain (which may be related to the back or hip)
• Cramps
• Dizziness arising from the neck (Cervicogenic dizziness)
• Dizziness arising from the ear (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Please note that treatment for this condition is not Chiropractic specific)
• Elbow pain, Tennis or Golfer's elbow (which may be related to spinal dysfunction) 
• Generalized aches and pains
• Osteoarthritis-related pain (Hip and Knee OA in combination with exercises)
