Back and Neck Pain

Problems with the spine are one of the most common complaints a chiropractor treats. Around 8 million people in the UK suffer with some degree of back or neck pain. These are caused by a variety of factors, such as muscle strains, joint dysfunction and osteoarthritis, as well as disc problems.

Most back and neck pain responds quickly to chiropractic treatment, which can include manual manipulation, electronic manipulation, mobilisation and soft tissue release.

After treating the initial problem and reducing symptoms, we will address any underlying contributing factors (such as poor posture or repetitive movement) and give practical advice on managing the problem and preventing its return.

Headaches and Migraines

There are different types of headaches, but the most common is a cervicogenic headache which originates from stiffness, dysfunction and overuse of the joints and muscles of the neck and upper back. This can be caused by trauma, whiplash, poor neck positioning/posture. Tension/stress-related headaches are also a common place, again caused by tightness in the neck and upper back.

Neck related headaches can be effectively treated with chiropractic techniques, alleviating pain and reducing frequency. Once the underlying cause is identified, results quickly follow, and practical advice will be given on managing the problem and preventing its return.

Despite the triggers for migraines not being fully understood, chiropractic treatment can have a positive effect for sufferers. By treating the neck and relieving tension into the head, migraines are often reduced with chiropractic care.

Sciatica

Sciatica is the name given to nerve pain or discomfort that manifests in the leg, caused by irritation and/or compression of the sciatic nerve. Sciatica originates in the lower back, radiates into the buttock and down the leg. The irritation/compression is caused either by a disc physically coming into contact with the nerve, or by inflammation within the lower back compressing the nerve. Another situation where a patient feels a similar symptom/sensation, is caused by muscles in the buttock irritating the nerve.

Chiropractors identify and address the cause of the problem, calming symptoms and improving the function of the spine and hip complex, reducing the chance of recurrence.

Hip Pain

There are many causes of hip pain, and the most common we see are due to muscular strains, dysfunction within the hip or pelvic joints and osteoarthritis.

Using specific techniques, such as hands-on manipulation, electronic manipulation, mobilisation and soft tissue release, Chiropractic treatment helps to improve mobility within the hip, as well as reduce pain and inflammation. Once joint function is returned and symptoms have reduced, after-care advice is given to help patients reduce the chance of recurrence and delay arthritic degeneration.
