🎁Christmas Present Idea🎁

We recommend the Dr Graeme massager for many reasons, but mainly because it’s so easy to use, without needing someone else to help you get to those hard to reach places…namely your back and shoulder blades.

They are vibration massagers which are much more effective than a regular massage gun.

Available at our clinic, they make a great gift for a friend or family member who would benefit from regular massage.

Pop in and see us to find out more.

Rob attended the BCA’s (British Chiropractic Association ) annual conference at the weekend.

It was an extra special event this year, celebrating 100 years of supporting the chiropractic profession.

There were a host of impressive speakers, including Joe Wicks talking on movement, mindset and motivation, as well as leading professionals discussing the research, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation. This included a fantastic talk by Dr William Morgan, who has served as chiropractor to the US armed forces, Congress and the Whitehouse, and now consults to NASA about spinal health for astronauts!

It was a great few days, inspirational and educational, not to mention a chance to link up with old friends and colleagues, sharing ideas and having a good old catch up! There was even a lecture on animal chiropractic, but Rob won’t be switching to four-legged treatments any time soon 😊

5 REASONS TO SEE A CHIROPRACTOR 👐

1. Reduce joint pain & stiffness
Chiropractors are traditionally known for treating joint pain, such as back (including disc problems and sciatica), neck, shoulder, hip and knee pain. But they treat so much more!

2. Relieve headaches & migraines
By treating the neck, shoulders and ribs, tension is reduced at the base of the skull, alleviating tension headaches. Chiropractic can also have an influence on migraine symptoms.

3. Reduce muscular pain & tension
By improving joint function, stress on the muscles/tendons is reduced and with direct soft tissue work damage and restriction of movement can be targeted.
Other modalities can be incorporated into treatment, such as dry needle acupuncture and laser therapy, to alleviate tension, reduce inflammation and promote healing.

4. Improve your posture
By treating restricted joints and soft tissue, range of motion can be increased, allowing for better posture to be maintained.

5. Maintain Strength and Healthy Movement
After improving joint function and reducing muscular tension, healthy movement patterns can be restored. Strength can now be built up and chiropractors will advise on lifestyle choices and exercises to help maintain good musculoskeletal health.
Regular chiropractic treatment can help manage chronic problems, keep you mobile and functionally fit.

There are so many more health benefits to chiropractic treatment. If you are struggling with an acute injury, chronic pain, or anything in between, we can help.

“……But for the last few weeks I have had no pain or discomfort in my back at all! So, nerve pain in foot gone, no discomfort in my back and that nagging feeling going from my back to the front has gone too. Hips and knees feel good and no discomfort now when I sleep - Well done and thank you!”

Lovely to hear such positive feedback – often a patient's problem is not restricted to one area and once sleep is disrupted, everything tends to feel worse. A combination of MBST and chiropractic has helped this patient in numerous ways.

👉 Chronic pain doesn’t have to define you.

Chronic pain is very real and shouldn’t be swept aside just because there’s no obvious cause or musculoskeletal damage. It reflects complex changes in the body and brain.

People often benefit from a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, combining medical, physical, and psychological strategies, tailored to what works best for them.

With chiropractic and massage treatment at the clinic, we can:

🟢 Assess and diagnose what’s contributing to your pain

🟢 Use hands-on treatment to restore movement and joint function

🟢 Offer technological therapies where appropriate

🟢 Provide specific exercises to rebuild strength and movement

🟢 Address lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, diet, and mindset

We support patients with all kinds of pain and injury.

To see if we can help you, give us a call on 01242 805851.
