Chiropractic Treatment

Our chiropractors' approach is to conduct a complete history and examination to diagnose the disc problem.  After discussing this with you we will provide treatment to help reduce your pain and restore the correct movement to the joint to allow it to heal. Spinal manipulative therapy has been found to be an effective method in helping to alleviate back pain. (2)

Whilst remedial massage therapy doesn’t target the disc or nerve, it can help to remove knots from key muscles which can aid in improving comfort levels and get you back moving again.
