Conditions We Treat
We help patients like you feel better, every day. Below are some of the conditions we treat.
We treat you holistically and pride ourselves on the fact that our patients feel significantly better after the first session and the majority are pain-free after 3 sessions.

We treat you as an individual using a combination of manipulation, inflammation reduction, lifestyle and dietary advice.
SCIO testing can highlight and reduce the underlying factors which provoke and cause inflammation.
Arthritis and degeneration covers a large range of ailments and diagnostic terms including:
- Osteoarthritis.
- Rheumatoid arthritis.
- Other inflammatory arthritis.
- Spondylosis of the neck/lumbar spine: “wear and tear”.

Feet are the foundation of our posture and whole muscular skeletal system – get help early and take care of yours…
Hand, Wrist & Finger Pain
- Pain, stiffness or swelling in the fingers, hand or wrist.
- Tingling or numbness (like "pins and needles") in the fingers.

- Throbbing or sharp pain after repetitive movements, like typing.
- Difficulty moving fingers or wrist due to stiffness.
Headache & Migraine
- Tension.
- Sinus.
- Facial pain.
- Jaw pain.
Whether you have a tension headache, sinus pressure or problems with your jaw, we will examine you thoroughly to diagnose the cause on the first consultation.
We treat everybody as an individual and quickly outline the best approach to relieve your symptoms and get you back to good health quickly.
Hip Pain
- Discomfort or stiffness in the hip, groin or upper thigh.
- Pain that worsens with walking, sitting or standing.
- A feeling of reduced range of motion or flexibility.
- Difficulty walking, climbing stairs or bending the knee.

Overuse or Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
- ”Text neck" pain.
- Headache.
- Shoulder tension.
- Numbness and tingling in the arms and hands.
- Cramp, stiffness, weakness or swelling.
With an increasing reliance on technology, it is no surprise that many of our patients suffer more with RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury).
If your daily routine involves repetitive tasks with extensive periods of computer or mobile phone usage, then you may be at risk of flattening of your spinal curves, compressing your discs or even triggering the beginning of arthritis.
Most people are unaware of the damage that can be done by simple “repetitive” postural strain and how simple it is for us to treat and help prevent it.
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction (Men & Women)
- Leaks or trouble controlling your bladder.
- A feeling of heaviness or pressure in the pelvic area.
- Pain during sex or discomfort in the lower abdomen.

- Recovery after knee/hip/shoulder replacement.
- Recovering strength after abdominal surgery.
- Rehabilitation after bone fracture repair.
- Boosting moral and getting your confidence back.
Sciatica, Trapped Nerves & Neuralgia
- Sciatica: buttock and lower limb pain.
- Shoulder and upper limb pain.
- Tingling, numbness.
- Pins and needles.
- Pain aggravated in certain positions.
- Weakness and heaviness.
We understand the anatomy of your body and the causes of nerve pain.
We will quickly diagnose the cause of your pain (which is often different to where the pain presents) and release the trapped nerve and reduce any inflammation.
IMPORTANT
If you are experiencing thigh, leg or arm pain you should seek immediate help.
These nerves are particularly sensitive and with early intervention, you can dramatically reduce recovery time.
Shoulder Pain
- Pain on movement or at rest.
- Pain that stops you from sleeping.
- Difficulty lifting your arm.
- Difficulty putting your arm behind your back.

Our shoulders are vital for normal day-to-day activities and often get injured.
Your shoulder relies heavily on the joints and muscles of the trunk to function, so they are never treated in isolation.
Our approach is to examine the muscular attachments and spinal relationship to your shoulder to achieve the best results.
- Frozen Shoulder.
- Rotator Cuff injury.
- Entrapment Syndrome.
Sports Injuries
- Tennis Elbow & Golfer's Elbow.
- Sports specific injuries.
- Shoulder pain.
- Rotator Cuff injuries, eg., Supraspinatus Tendonitis.
- Knee strains & sprains.
- Shin Splints: mild Compartment Syndrome.
- Muscular, tendon and ligament injuries.
We have treated many professional athletes over the last 25 years; from Olympic and Commonwealth competitors to Pro-Tour golfers; from Premiership footballers to amateur sports enthusiastics and avid gym-goers.
The common problem for all professional and amateur sportspeople alike is pain and loss of performance.
Our clinical tests and specialist investigation (such as MRI and ultrasound) evaluate your injury with precision.
We understand that you, as a sportsperson, need to accelerate your recovery and we can help you get back to the top of your game and achieve that competitive edge.
