Parkinson Disease

Chiropractic will never cure Parkinson's Disease.  However Chiropractic care can help with some of the effects of Parkinson's. Because the muscles spasm frequently this often results in the body becoming misaligned and aches and pains result. A gentle treatment to help realign things can make life more comfortable.

Massage

Although in the vast majority of cases McTimoney Chiropractic is, in my opinion, more effective than massage from time to time Deep Tissue Massage is what is needed! This seems to apply particularly when the shoulder muscles are involved. We offer this option!

Back Pain

Most of what we do revolves around Back Pain. Most of us have trouble with our backs from time to time and just soldier on!!  Maybe we shouldn't!  In the vast majority of cases back pain is straight forward to treat and generally resolves over three or fours sessions.

Food Intolerance

From time to patients come in with symptoms that suggest a problem with how thier gut is functioning. These symptoms could be:

• Bloating
• Lack of Energy
• General, rather than specific, aches and pains
• Weight retention for no obvious reason - eating a good balanced diet.

When this happens we often suggest some simple food elimination experiments. Avoiding say wheat and/or dairy frequently identifies where the problem lies. Intolerance to these two is remarkably common. We also sometimes arrange food intlerance test with Cambridge Nutritional Sciences as they can test for many foods and food groups.

If you would like to know more you only need to ask!  Cheers Steve

Wheat Intollerance

Although i mention no names all the patients whose stories lie behind my blog have given their consent to my telling their story.

Lovely lady in today. She had been to see me and mentioned feeling bloated and lacking energy. I suggested she try avoiding wheat and she has noticed a dramatic improvement. Less bloated, losing weight and more energy - Cool !

Scoliosis or NOT Scoliosis

A young female patient had a heavy fall and broke her arm. Sounds simple but shortly afterwards her collarbone was sore and she went to the GP. The GP noticed that her back was out of line and told her parents she had Scoliosis!  Mum brought her in and her hips were well out of alignment and having treated her she looked almost back to normal. We will see over the next week or so but I anticipate that she will be absolutely fine. Both patient and parents had had a nasty scare.

Mum and daughter went to see the consultant - He wanted to know why they were there!!!!  Precautionary X-Ray showed her back was fine!!

My First Blog!!

Having never tried to "Blog" before this will be interesting!

I plan to post things that happen around Chiropractic.
