Cheltenham Chiropractic Clinic is the longest running Chiropractic centre in the area – opened by Rita Hemmings in 1978 the practice has offered expert spinal healthcare to the people of Gloucestershire for 44 years! Always at the same location on the corner of Gloucester Road and Granley road the clinic expanded over the years in terms of size and capacity to the extent that some of our longer term patients occasionally got lost! This was the only practice in Gloucestershire for many years; the closest being in Oxford, Bristol and Leamington Spa. On November 9th 2015 we moved to our lovely modern premises at: Pure Offices, Hatherley Lane, Cheltenham, GL51 6SH (just behind the Nuffield Hospital.) We offer professional, effective care for all muscle and joints problems covering all age ranges from children to the elderly – our youngest patient so far was 3 days old and our eldest 101 years young! Some of the conditions we most commonly treat include: Low Back pain, Neck pain, Headaches, Postural problems, Sciatica, Sports injuries, Hip, Knee and Shoulder pain, Tendon problems, Pelvic imbalance and Arthritis. Although we can’t fix every joint and muscle problem, correcting the alignment of the body and balancing muscle tension often helps patients to move more easily and feel at their best. Catherine specialises in home rehabilitation plans to help prevent injuries recurring and we also have direct access to state-of-the-art private MRI, CT and X-ray scanning at the Cobalt Centre. Most of our patients hear about the clinic through personal recommendation (as we have had nearly 14,000 patients this is a big word-of-mouth network!) but we also receive referrals from local surgeons and GPs. Our treatments are also covered by most health insurance policies.

Not sure whether to use ice or heat on an injury? This infographic should help. 🔥🥵🥶🧊

The basic rules are if you have an acute injury that is swollen use ice for the first 48 hours, any chronic injury or muscle strain this is not swollen will benefit more from heat treatment. Ice reduces blood flow, heat increases it.

If you suffer a sudden sprain or strain, applying cold can reduce swelling by slowing cell activity, constricting blood vessels, and blocking the release of chemicals known as histamines. The application of cold can also decrease pain by numbing the area.

In most cases heat is the best choice as bringing more blood flow to an area of muscle strain, tendon injury or arthritis will help dilate blood vessels, remove toxins and bring in more oxygen and nutrients to help the tissue repair itself.

The most important point is to always have a barrier between the heat/cold source and your skin to prevent burns.

Hope that helps! 🤓

Many thanks to Mr Morgan Jones, consultant spinal surgeon at the Birmingham Royal Orthopaedic Hospital for a fascinating talk last week. Our Registered Chiropractor Catherine Owers is now totally up to date with the current surgical options for spinal degeneration and instability - however spinal surgery is risky so it’s always best to try conservative care (I.e. Chiropractic) first! 🩻🦴💪🏻

Catherine had an excellent time at the conference in Birmingham last week getting cutting edge research updates on a huge range of topics including: Rotator Cuff injury, Plantar Fasciitis, Strength training and nutrition to help menopause symptoms, Neuro-sensory integration, Achilles tendinitis, knee injury rehabilitation in premiership football, core strength in women’s RFU and osteoarthritis of the neck. She also had a massive chocolate sundae and a lovely catch up with her friend Steph 🙂

Many thanks to Mr Morgan Jones - consultant spinal surgeon at the Birmingham Royal Orthopaedic Hospital for a very informative talk on non-surgical interventions of the spine yesterday evening. Our Registered Chiropractor Catherine Owers was interested to learn more about epidural steroid injections, medial branch nerve blocks and radio frequency ablation - if you have spinal pain maybe she can help!

Do you get back pain at work? Have you ever thought of using a standing desk? Here are some of the benefits:

1. Burn more calories: standing burns more calories than sitting. This means that just by standing and doing the same amount of work, you are already improving your health.

2. Improved posture: the problem with workplace desks is that they lack a correct ergonomic setup. A standing desk can be raised or lowered, allowing you to tailor the height of your work platform and your screens to suit you.

3. Encourage circulation: sitting or standing still for long periods encourages blood and fluid to pool in the bottom half of the body. Mixing up your working position helps lower your risk of developing blood clots that can lead to a stroke or a pulmonary embolism.

4.Reduce the need for constant breaks: if you’re seated all day, you may feel the need to take incremental standing breaks. A standing desk allows you to stretch out whilst you continue with the task at hand.

5. Improved energy levels: 87% of those who switched to a standing desk during a clinical study reported increased energy throughout the day. Upon returning to their normal desks, results indicate that mood returned to its previous level.

6. A stronger core: standing up gently tenses the core muscles and engages more of your midsection, building up strength in your core and abdominal area.

7. Lowered risk of obesity and diabetes: a standing desk helps lower your risk of developing diabetes. The act of standing up also burns more calories than sitting down, making it a calorie burning alternative to a sedentary seated position.
