Optimal Health chiropractic

My clients vary in age, symptoms and lifestyles. All share a common goal of improved health, function and a sense of wellbeing.

Whilst the most common reason for starting care with us are spinal complaints such as back or neck pain, you’d be surprised at the range of conditions we see. We do not treat specific diseases or conditions, we treat the symptoms experienced by the human being who has the condition or disease. Regardless of what is going on in your body, we regularly see people improve in how they experience their condition, with many seeing massive reductions or removal of symptoms, and others experience relief. Commonly people experience more energy, flexibility, faster recovery times and a better ability to handle day to day stress..

I am qualified in a number of different chiropractic and soft tissue techniques to help improve your spinal / joint bio-mechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The techniques used will be based on my clinical judgement and your personal preferences. Our aim is to focus on you and not your disease to help you live your life to its full potential. We agree your tailored plan of care at the start of your treatment and review this on a regular basis so that your needs and expectations are met. Whilst many patients respond well to the gentler, more subtle techniques, some respond better to those more physical adjustments.

There is considerable published evidence that Chiropractic helps a number of different musculoskeletal conditions. The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) has published recommendations for GPs and healthcare professionals to offer manual therapies including Chiropractic for early management of persistent non-specific low back pain, as part of a treatment plan.
