read moreIt's nice to know what's going to happen to you when you visit a chiropractor, for something as important as back pain and your health. Our step-by-step guide to the process of visiting your chiropractor is just a click away. We want to make sure any questions that you may have about chiropractic get answered. Feel free to email us from the contact page or call us but, we have also put a Q&A section together which answers common questions. Most of our new patients are referred to us by people we have treated because we have helped them with their problem.

read moreThe British Chiropractic Association has produced some handy advice sheets about things that can lead to back pain and back related problems, which you can download here. They cover activities like lifting and carrying to perhaps less obvious ones like sleeping. It's all about being conscious about what you do. Many people know some of the do's and don'ts and yet, back pain still affects 80% of the population at some time in their lives. Even if you know this stuff a reminder, to keep it in mind, does no harm!

You can watch them here. To many people, much of the advice will be obvious and yet it is never really at the forefront of our minds, perhaps until a problem occurs and we experience an episode of back pain. We hope these reminders will help you avoid problems with back pain.

read moreYour back is an amazing and complex structure. Like a stack, the things at the bottom carry the load of everything else. It is not unusual for something in the stack to give!

The British Chiropractic Association have produced some videos to help prevent problems, arising out of common activities, and you can watch them here.

read moreWe have the knowledge to help you with all these things - and none of these require hands-on treatment. Hands-on treatment can absolutely be part of both a short and long-term strategy for management of all kinds of issues, but it is only a SMALL part of our overall knowledge. We will of course continue to help our existing patients and new enquiries free of charge as we always have done. This might include a brief chat about how you are getting on, requests for more exercises, general advice, or talking about whether your problem needs help from us at all.

read moreThe cervical region bears the weight of your head, which is actually very heavy! The cervical region is therefore doing quite a bit of work, keeping you head held high, and has connections to your shoulders. It can be prone to problems due to poor posture, for example from sitting for too long with desk based office work. This region carries the whole weight of your upper body and of course any objects you are carrying around. The lumbar region is therefore under continuous load as well as the additional pressure of bending, twisting and lifting.
