WHAT WE DO
What Is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a regulated primary healthcare profession that specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. A chiropractor often uses a combination of manipulation, mobilisation and soft tissue techniques to treat a problem, as well as being able to put together comprehensive rehabilitation programmes to help patients reach long term goals.
If you're unsure whether chiropractic is the solution for your problem, please feel free to give us a call. We can tell you whether our clinic is the right place for you, or where to go if not.
What We Treat
Whether you’ve slept in an awkward position or suffered from whiplash, our chiropractors will be able to help you.
We usually use traction techniques to alleviate disc prolapses which can often cause sciatica. An accurate diagnosis is very important when treating this condition.
The most common problem we see in clinic. It is often lifestyle related and there are lots of different techniques that can be used to treat it.
Tension headaches can be one of the quickest problems to resolve with chiropractic care.
The hips are Alex’s favourite area of the body to treat. Both hip and knee issues are commonly associated with dysfunction of other structures in the lower limb.
Otherwise known as degenerative joint disease (DJD), we’ll all get a bit of it at some point but it doesn’t have to be painful.
From football to martial arts injuries, we see all sorts of sport related injuries in people of all ages!
Often very debilitating pain that can take a long time to resolve without the correct diagnosis and management plan.
With the right treatment and home exercises we’ll get you on the road to recovery.
Your First Visit
On your first visit, your chiropractor will take a comprehensive medical history and conduct a physical examination. This should give them all the information they need to make a specific diagnosis and then come to an appropriate treatment plan. Your first visit will also include treatment so that we can kick start your recovery as early as possible, this is included in the initial consultation price. However, sometimes it may be necessary to refer for scans or write to your GP before treatment can progress.
What Is Sports Massage Therapy?
Sports Massage is the management and rehabilitation of soft tissues of the body including muscles, tendons and ligaments. You do not need to be an athlete or sports enthusiast to benefit from it. It is suitable for anybody wishing to recover from or prevent against soft tissue injuries.
So whether it’s for post-workout recovery, or simply to relieve tension and improve your wellbeing, our expert therapists will provide treatment tailored to your needs.
One of the biggest myths about Sports Massage is that it has to hurt to be effective, but this is not the case! When muscles are tight and painful, treatment can sometimes be sore but this will be adapted to your needs by our team. Please let us know if you'd prefer a more gentle, relaxing treatment.
