Chiropractic is a treatment which focuses on reducing your back pain at the source of the problem.Chiropractic can be used safely and effectively for people from all age groups with both short and long term conditions. The causes of these conditions are many and varied, perhaps you have injured yourself taking exercise or playing sport, or perhaps you have ‘overdone it’ in the garden. You could have bent over and picked something up awkwardly or taken a bump in the car. Alternatively you may just be feeling stiff and uncomfortable from years of sitting at the office desk – however it began we are here to help you. Give us a call and start on the road to recovery today!Do you want to know how it works? There is a great misconception that the bones that make up your spine can go out of place, but this is actually quite rare. Back pain may often seem to happen suddenly for no obvious reason but this out of the blue pain is usually the end result of what has been a very gradual deterioration in the alignment and control you have over your spine. Maintaining the correct alignment of your spine is a task performed from moment to moment by your nervous system on a sub-conscious level, in the same way that your heart is kept automatically beating or you drive a car without thinking about it. Occasionally though it becomes overwhelmed, often by poor driving and needs to be re-aligned.Chiropractic adjustment of the spine is particularly effective because we make adjustments to release locked states and stimulate the control centres within your spine to allow them to get back to maintaining the correct joint alignment. Chiropractic adjustments are what we call dose-dependant with the effects building over time with each session. Much like going on a diet or going to the gym takes time to have a lasting effect.

Hectic life styles, gym memberships, poor posture and enthusiastic participation in sporting events take their toll on our bodies. Whilst regular exercise is generally good for our health, over time it can take its toll on our muscles, legs and back, all too frequently leading to injuries.Sports massage is a powerful and effective way to treat soft tissue injuries. The massage improves circulation of the blood and lymphatic systems. This speeds up the rate at which waste products, such as lactic acid are dispersed from our bodies, relieving muscle fatigue. At the same time, the circulation of nutrients needed by muscle cells for growth and repair is enhanced. Regular massage can identify potential problems before they fully develop, while training advice can be given to heighten your own awareness of posture and biomechanics whilst exercising, to help prevent future injuries.

Pilates is a method of exercise that evenly conditions the body. It stretches and strengthens all the muscles giving the body a well-defined shape and targets the deep "core" muscles that are so important for good posture.The method concentrates the mind and encourages correct breathing to increase lung capacity and blood circulation. It improves bone density and promotes good joint mobility. It ensures that the right muscles in the body do the right job, thus correcting faulty movement patterns. Pilates dramatically increases core strength and when practised regularly it will produce incredible benefits for your body.Intelligent exercising - What differentiates Pilates from other forms of exercise is that it is based on a deep understanding of how the skeletal and muscular framework of the body works. It is therefore extremely safe and beneficial to those with back problems, sports injuries, pre or post-natal as well as those who are 100% fit and want to stay that way.The growth in its popularity is testimony to how enormously effective the method is. Highly recommended by health professionals, it is considered the way forward for rehabilitation and general well-being, whatever your age, as well as the ultimate workout for those who want to greatly improve flexibility, strength and tone.
