In some cases it is necessary to take x-rays to reach a diagnosis and if this is the case for you it will usually be done on your first visit, utilising our own digital x-ray facilities. We can also refer directly for MRI and ultrasound scanning if necessary. X-rays are not performed routinely, only when clinically necessary and if you have had relevant x-rays taken elsewhere, we will endeavour to access these rather then take new ones.

International Women’s Day 2026 - Give to Gain 🌸💪

This year’s theme, Give to Gain, is a powerful reminder that looking after yourself is not selfish. When women give time, energy and care to their own health, they often gain strength, resilience and the capacity to support others more fully.

So many women juggle work, family, caring roles and mental load, often putting their own bodies last. Yet movement, rest and support are not luxuries. They are foundations. When the spine and nervous system are supported, the body is better able to adapt to the physical and emotional demands of daily life.

In chiropractic care, the focus is on helping the body move well and function efficiently, so giving a little attention to your own health can pay dividends in how you feel, move, and cope day to day.

What is one small thing you could give yourself this week to gain a little more ease or energy? 💭

This timeless idea sits at the heart of traditional chiropractic philosophy. It reflects the view that the body has an inherent capacity to adapt and regulate itself, particularly when movement is supported and unnecessary strain is reduced.

Rather than seeing the body as something that simply needs to be “fixed,” this perspective focuses on supporting healthy movement, joint function, and overall musculoskeletal balance. The aim is not to promise cures, but to work with the body in a way that encourages comfort, mobility, and resilience.

Modern chiropractic care blends this philosophy with contemporary clinical understanding. Care is tailored to the individual, with an emphasis on function, movement quality, and long-term wellbeing.

For many people, this way of thinking feels empowering. It shifts the focus from quick fixes to awareness, consistency, and caring for the whole person.

Sleep posture matters 😴

Your mattress and pillow are partners in spinal health. When they work together, they can help support a more neutral spine overnight. For many people, side sleeping with a pillow between the knees helps keep the hips and lower back in a more comfortable alignment, rather than twisting through the spine.

That said, there is no single “perfect” sleep position. What matters most is whether your spine feels supported and relaxed, not forced or strained. Waking up stiff or sore can be a sign that your sleep setup needs a rethink, not that you are doing anything wrong.

Chiropractic care often looks at daytime movement and posture, but night-time habits matter too. You spend hours in one position while you sleep, so small changes can add up over time.

Have you noticed a difference in how you feel depending on how you sleep? Let us know in the comments 👇

Brain Injury Awareness Month 2026 🧠🩵

March is a time to shine a light on the realities of brain injury and recovery. Whether caused by a fall, accident, or other trauma, a brain injury can affect movement, coordination, memory and daily life in ways that aren’t always visible. Awareness is key to understanding, prevention, and support.

Chiropractic care can play a supportive role in recovery by assessing and encouraging gentle movement, posture, and spinal alignment. While it does not treat the brain injury itself, improving how the body moves and functions can help reduce secondary strain and support overall wellbeing during recovery.

This month, take a moment to learn, support, and check in with those affected. Awareness and small adjustments can make a big difference in daily life.

28/02/2026

Rare diseases affect millions globally, yet awareness remains limited. Many people face long diagnostic journeys, daily challenges, and the feeling that their experiences are unseen.
Today is a moment to highlight these conditions, share knowledge, and celebrate the resilience of those living with them. Understanding and empathy, whether from friends, family, or the wider community, can make a real difference in people’s lives.
To everyone navigating a rare disease: your strength, courage, and determination are recognised. 💜

Word of the Day: Muscle 💪🐭

Ever notice how your arm moves and your muscles wiggle under the skin? The ancient Romans did and they thought it looked like a little mouse scurrying about! That’s why the Latin word for muscle is *musculus*, meaning “little mouse.”

But wait...Greek physicians were onto this first. They called muscles *mys*, which also means “mouse.” The Romans borrowed the idea and that tiny rodent lives on in words like **myology** (the study of muscles) and **myofascial**.

Why does this matter for us today? Because muscles aren’t just for flexing, they keep your posture strong, movement smooth, and your body performing at its best.

Language, history, and movement… all working together like a well-trained team! 💪🐭

What other everyday words do you want us to unpack? Drop them in the comments!

As many of you know, Helen is currently training for the Bath half marathon in March 🏃‍♀️

With the miles adding up, recovery becomes just as important as training. Even runners feel it in their upper body, especially the shoulders and traps, from posture, arm swing and tension during longer runs.

Here she is getting some work done to keep everything moving well and recovering properly ahead of race day.

If you’re training for an event yourself, we’re here to help 👇

Is Your Spine Happy? 💫
Your spine does more than keep you upright — it protects your spinal cord, supports breathing, and even influences how efficiently your nerves communicate with the rest of your body. Subtle things like slumping while scrolling, sleeping on a very soft mattress, or carrying a heavy bag on one shoulder can quietly stress it over time.
We’re curious: what small habits or daily quirks do you notice affect your spine the most? Share your observations in the comments — let’s swap tips on keeping our spines happy and moving well!

What a weekend for Casterbridge Chiro! 💪🎉

Firstly, a HUGE congratulations to our amazing Chiropractor Kate, who completed the Big Mud 16 Miler at the weekend…and wow, it really lived up to its name! 😅

16 miles.
Muddy hills.
Foggy climbs.
Slippery trails.
Very. Hard. Work.

We’ve had lots of lovely messages wishing Kate good luck (thank you! ❤️) and asking for photos, so here they are! From fresh-faced and clean at the start line, to tackling those brutal hills, splashing through the mud, powering along the trails and finally a very muddy (but very proud!) Kate with her medal at the finish 🏅👏

An absolutely incredible achievement, we’re so proud of her determination and resilience!

Meanwhile Helen swapped mud for music in Manchester, taking part in the 10km ABBAthon organised by Run Fanatics 🎶✨

Six laps of Heaton Park, glorious sunshine (with just a tiny grey cloud making an appearance!), plenty of fancy dress, and ABBA classics playing all the way round the course, what’s not to love?! 🕺💃

From muddy endurance to musical miles, it’s been a weekend of challenges, community spirit and a lot of smiles.

And the best part? No matter your ability, there truly is something out there for everyone, whether that’s a tough 16-mile mud challenge, a fun-themed 10k, a local park run, or your very first walk-jog event. Setting goals, moving your body and enjoying the journey is what counts most 🙌

Now the countdown is officially on to the Bath Half Marathon on 15 March! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Liam and Helen will be taking on the 13.1 miles to raise money for the incredible Royal Osteoporosis Society. This is a cause very close to our hearts, and we’re hoping to raise as much as we can to support the vital work they do.

If you’re able to support them, donations would be very much appreciated, every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.

We love seeing our team staying active, setting goals and leading by example, whether that’s climbing muddy hills, dancing their way through 10k, or training for a half marathon!

If you took part in any events this weekend, we’d love to hear about them 👇
