Chiropractors are specialists in the diagnosis and management of spine and spine related conditions. The most common conditions that people consult a chiropractor for are back pain, neck and shoulder pain, and headaches; however, these are not the only conditions that respond to chiropractic care. Suprisingly to some, many patients that present to our practice do not have any symptoms at all - they simply want to move and perform better in their chosen activities and have been made aware of our movement based approach.

Chiropractic means ‘done by hand’ and, as a manual therapy, is famous for its manipulative techniques (adjustments) for the spine and pelvis, peripheral joints and soft tissues. People are sometimes surprised that a chiropractor is interested in their hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow or wrist, but as a practice with a sports injury focus, these are areas that we assess and work with every day. Whilst these manipulative skills are highly effective and largely unique to the profession, they are not the only approach that modern chiropractors use.

We promote active care and prefer a collaborative approach with our patients. Accordingly, we advise on topics such as exercise prescription, stretches, ergonomics and stress management.
