Skelian Chiropractic Clinic

read moreOur Cheltenham Chiropractic Clinic is one of a few in the country to have won two separate National Awards from the Royal College of Chiropractors, consecutively for over 10 years. These recognise the clinic's excellence in meeting patients' expectations, and in safeguarding high standards of care and quality service improvement. Of the two awards currently held, the Clinic is in the almost unique position of being awarded both with a special commendation, which is a reflection of the hard work and dedication to the patient care provided by the staff.

We also stock Vitamin D in a form that is most useful to us as vitamin D3. In the UK, due to the limited intensity and hours of sunlight available during colder months, and then time we spend indoors, over 70% of us are deficient in Vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential for the role of our immune system and in maintaining good bone health.

Although chiropractors are best known for treating back and neck pain, they can also help with a wide range of other musculoskeletal conditions. Chiropractic is not a specific treatment, but a profession. At Skelian, we use a number of different techniques and approaches to manage the various challenges that our patients present to us with.

Unfortunately, every time you have an episode of back pain these muscles get weaker, and they do not strengthen again on their own, leaving us more vulnerable to further episodes. A vicious circle! These deep supporting muscles are often referred to as "core" muscles. They are not the big strong external muscles that move us from A to B, but deep muscles that are contracting all the time to hold us up.
