NHS

The NHS publishes guidelines through NICE, which is the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence

For people with persistent or recurrent non-specific low back pain and sciatica regardless of the duration of the pain, NICE recommends a course of manual therapy, including spinal manipulation “performed by chiropractors and osteopaths, as well as by doctors and physiotherapists who have undergone specialist postgraduate training in manipulation” in conjunction with exercise.

NICE recommends people with low back pain to exercise, following a “structured exercise programme, tailored to the person”.

This is exactly what our plans – like the 10 Step Pain Relief Plan – are designed to do; to reduce your pain, by combining manual spinal manipulation with a structured exercise programme. We are in line with the NHS NICE guidelines.

Conditions

Sciatica

Back pain may be in one specific place or it can radiate into the leg (commonly known as sciatica). The pain may be a dull ache or be very sharp pain.

Acute - lasting less than six weeks
Sub-acute - lasting six weeks to three months
Chronic - lasting longer than three months

Neck Pain

Neck pain may be due to various causes. Symptoms can include a sore or aching neck, ranging from mild to severe, neck and shoulder pain, headaches, dizziness, poor posture, nausea, loss of coordination, tiredness, lower back problems, or hearing disturbances like tinnitus.

Headaches

Headaches and migraines come in various forms. Some are triggered by poor posture and spinal misalignment, leading to tension and discomfort. Others arise from lifestyle factors like an unbalanced diet, elevated stress levels, and daily activities that strain the body. Identifying the cause is key to effective relief and prevention

Slipped Disc

We provide treatment for slipped discs, also known as herniated vertebral discs. This condition often causes chronic, severe pain and can lead to radiating pain down the leg if the damage is in the lower back, or down the arm if it's in the neck. Our expert care aims to alleviate discomfort and restore function
