Birmingham Chiropractic Clinic

read moreAs the longest established chiropractic clinic in Birmingham, we have been helping the surrounding community to better health since 1987. As a part of this commitment we aim to utilise the most advanced treatment techniques and are proud to be the first chiropractors in the region to offer non-surgical spinal disc decompression with our IDD therapy. As James Rousseau, DC explains, "We offer state of the art technology in a warm, inviting, homely atmosphere." Many of our patients have come to chiropractic as a last resort when nothing else has helped them, and they are desperate to avoid taking pain medication for the rest of their lives.

Around 1985 George was looking to retire, so the opportunity arose for James Rousseau, DC to take over the responsibilities of running the clinic. In 1987 he renamed it the Birmingham Chiropractic Clinic, as this was the only one in the area at that time. It is one of the most researched chiropractic methods, and outcomes can be accurately monitored. Our most successful patients are those who work together with us as a team.

The most rewarding patients to treat are perhaps those with a disc problem, who have come to chiropractic as a desperate last resort after being told they needed surgery. In many cases we have been able to help them avoid having surgery. We enjoy treating patients with lower back pain, especially as lower back pain is one of the largest costs to industry, I find it very rewarding helping people get back to work as soon as possible.

read moreWe use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches at Birmingham Chiropractic Clinic to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our clinical judgment and years of experience. This is a system of spinal evaluation combined with a handheld adjusting instrument that delivers a consistent, low-force thrust. Sacro Occipital Technique helps normalize the relationship between the pelvis and the head, using gravity to make the necessary correction.

read moreWhen you are experiencing neck pain, at Birmingham Chiropractic Clinic we'll will check your entire body including your feet, knees, pelvis, mid and lower back, shoulders and neck. This check will determine where your pain originates. We recommend that you try not to take medication in the early stages of your pain or rely on them long term because they mask your symptoms. A masking of symptoms can cause aggravation of the underlying cause of your pain. Your body uses pain as a warning or protective mechanism to tell you that something is wrong.

read moreTreatment will start by trying to reduce your inflammation through cold therapy. Then, a chiropractic adjustment will be done to check if the joint is misaligned. If this is the case, the pull on the muscles will be altered and this can create more irritation and inflammation. Our treatment will make sure the joint is in the optimal position.
