Poor posture (which can be commonly seen as slouching and/or having an anterior head carriage and hunched or rounded shoulders, amongst other things) can cause strain on the muscles in the neck and increase the weight-bearing pressure on the discs. This can subsequently lead to premature ageing (arthritis) of the neck. We always aim to improve posture by focusing on the alignment of the spine and body as a whole, providing rehabilitative exercises and stretches, and giving ergonomic advice and targeting specific muscle groups.

It is also the most frequently dislocated major joint in the body. Shoulder pain can be felt locally or can be referred to other areas such as the arm or mid-back. We commonly see a lot of people who complain of shoulder pain, or those who are suffering with a frozen shoulder (also called Adhesive capsulitis). Adhesive capsulitis occurs more frequently in women than men, between the ages of 40 to 60, and is five times more common in diabetics.

Cervicogenic headaches arise from mechanical restriction and dysfunction within the vertebrae in the neck and surrounding muscles, which then affects the nerve supply to the head and neck. This is something we see a lot of. One of the common referral patterns we find is for the symptoms to start at the base of the skull, then travel up to the back of the head and into the temples and around the eyes.

read moreThe hips are large, weight-bearing joints, and as they are involved in nearly all our movements, hip pain can severely impact our lives. If the nerves are irritated in the lower part of the back, the pain signal can travel along the nerve and pain can occur in areas the nerve travels or passes through, which in this example is the hip. If the pelvis, knees or the feet are not functioning correctly they can also impact on the way the hips function. As there are many causes of hip pain, a consultation and thorough examination with a Chiropractor can be one of the best ways of determining the source of your pain and establishing the correct plan of management and care program for you.

read moreThe knee is a complex joint which relies heavily on its surrounding muscles and ligaments for stability and strength. The knee is one of the joints most commonly affected by osteoarthritis. Cartilage in the knee may degenerate after sustained stress (such as stress from mis-aligned joints or injuries) resulting in the bones of the knee rubbing against each other and subsequently resulting in osteoarthritis. As it is a load-bearing joint, it is vital to ensure that you are walking correctly, and that the feet, ankles, hips, pelvis and lower back are not the cause of the knee pain.
