The reason you’re scared to get your neck adjusted 👀

Because the only neck adjustments you’ve seen are viral videos with poor technique + excessive force.

A GOOD adjustment is about SPEED, not strength.
It’s precise, controlled, and happens in millimeters, not massive movements.

You don’t need to whip someone’s head 180° to get a “crack.”
A skilled adjuster can release the cervical spine with minimal force and just a few degrees of rotation.

In fact, the neck should already be positioned before the adjustment.
Yanking a head 90° past the binding point and blasting through it?
That’s not skill. That’s unnecessary force.

Were you scared to get your neck adjusted the first time?
What did it actually feel like once you did?

Upper vs Lower cervical: what's the difference? 👀

See if you can spot the subtle change in set-up and line of drive (LOD) between an upper cervical (C1–3) and a lower cervical (C3–7) adjustment.

For an upper cervical adjustment, the LOD uses more lateral flexion (side-bending) and less rotation.
For the lower cervical, more rotation is required — but only after the patient’s spine is laterally deviated down to the joint being addressed.

That set-up matters.

Did you catch it?
👉 The second clip is the upper cervical adjustment.

A skilled adjuster isn’t about force — it’s about precision, control, and accuracy.

Are these things normal? 👀

1. "My joints pop!"
Often felt in the knees, hips or shoulders, this is totally normal and not a sign that anything is wrong! However, you should be concerned if popping is associated with PAIN or INSTABILITY ⚠️

2. "I have less range of motion in my right shoulder"/ "my left arm is weaker than my right" / "one shoulder is higher"
Your dominant arm is stronger and has more muscle tone than your non-dominant side, contributing to asymmetry + decreased range of movement.

3. "I have a neck hump!"
At the bottom of your neck, your cervical spine becomes the thoracic spine. The posterior processes (bony bits) of C7 and T1 are significantly longer than the rest, and along with the change in curvature this gives the characteristic "neck hump". This is mostly down to your anatomy, though certain things can make it more apparent:
- Poor posture (upper crossed syndrome, sometimes called "tech neck")
- Weight gain/ weight distribution
- Cushings disease (uncommon, but associated with neck hump!)
- Osteoporosis (thinning of the bones) which contributes to an increased curvature of the upper spine (kyphosis)
- Other spinal diseases that cause a progressive kyphosis, such as ankylosing spondylitis or scheuermanns

Adjustments are NOT moving your bones "back into place" 🙅‍♀️
.. your joints don't just pop out of alignment like a jenga tower!

I’m excited to share that from 2nd February 2026, CH Chiropractic will be joining RMA at
📍 10 Lugley Street, Newport, PO30 5HD.

is a well-established sports and injury clinic with a strong focus on rehabilitation. As many of you know, rehab is an area I’m passionate about, so this move felt like a natural next step. The team at RMA shares the same patient-first values that CH Chiropractic is built on.

What does this mean for you?
✔️ I’ll be offering the same services as before – chiropractic treatments and sports massage
✔️ Booking will now be directly through me or RMA (CH online booking will close from Feb 2nd)
✔️ Existing CH patients will be booked as a “new patient” on RMA’s system but charged a follow-up fee
✔️ Follow-up appointments at RMA are £50 (£5 increase)

I hope this change won’t be too disruptive and I look forward to continuing your care at RMA in 2026 🙌

🤔 Should you have sports massage or chiropractic?

A: it depends

What problem(s) if any are you suffering from? If you're looking to treat a specific condition (ie back pain) then chiropractic care is required to diagnose, manage and prevent joint and muscular conditions.

Just looking for some relief from general muscular aches/pains, tension, stress relief, or just general wellness? Then sports massage could be right for you.

If youre unsure, just ask!

A simple test to see whether your pain is really from sciatica.

Please note: if you think you may have sciatica, see a professional first!

This test only shows nerve tension, and does not diagnose the cause of sciatica.
