Chiropractic for simple problems

I have been a chiropractor since 2003 and have a great deal of experience in helping people with simple cases of low back pain.

Chiropractic is a form of healthcare which specialises in treating aches and pains affecting the joints of the spine.  It can be very useful in cases of pain that have only been bothering you for a few days or weeks.  If you have a more complicated situation whereby the pain has been present for a few months or more or that you are also struggling with nerve pain in the leg, then I can work with you in a different way - click here for more information.

To make sure your problem seems amenable to chiropractic care we go through this process:

  • A health questionnaire is filled in prior to your appointment

  • An initial consultation is made to take the history of the problem

  • A physical examination takes places using medical, orthopaedic and neurological tests

  • A consideration is made as to the need to order scans or blood tests

  • If things appear straight-forward then an idea of the diagnosis is given to you and some treatment may be included

  • If there are more complicated symptoms or findings we may need to schedule a further consultation appointment to gather the necessary information.

This initial consultation can last up to one hour and is £85 - payable upon booking.

Most simple cases of back pain respond to 2 - 6 sessions and it seems to work best when these sessions are only a few days apart.  Individual appointments are £40 each.  A block booking of 6 appointments is £228
