Support for lower back, hip pain, Pregnancy and Pubis symphysis dsyfunction:

What sort of treatment can I expect?

We use a combination of:

• Specialised manipulation
• Mobilisation
• Deep massage & stretch
• Importantly, a home stretch and exercise programme

Chiropractors specialise in getting the joints and muscles lined up moving "in functional balance". With less joint friction and reduced muscle tension, most aches appear to melt away.

Sometimes a popping sound is heard from a joint, as the joint surfaces release from a locked state. This is very similar to the pops & cracks we sometimes get when we stretch.

Why do we use these techniques? Simply because they are so effective in releasing deep joint and muscle spasms. Many of the treatment techniques, especially McTimoney technique, are extremely gentle. My patients always have a choice and may opt out of joint manipulation treatment if not happy.

I use acupuncture to help with pain relief, reduction of muscle spasm and  addictions.

Where problems appear to be related to birth trauma, emotional/hormone imbalance, I may suggest craniosacral therapy.

Importantly, I will always show you quick and easy stretches and exercises to help the joints and muscles to repair and keep them moving. I also use deep massage, pressure, trigger point therapy, ultrasound and other physiotherapy based treatments.

Whatever your problem, I will always choose the treatment that best suits you.

Does treatment hurt?
