Back pain is very common…
About 4 out of 5 of us will suffer with back pain at some stage in our lives.
‘I don’t know how my back pain started’ – Does this apply to you? Most of my clients attend saying something like: ‘I just woke with the pain’ or ‘I just bent down to the floor’. Even taking a detailed history, there seems no reason for the pain.
I have been working as a Chiropractor for more than 34 years with over 17,000 patients. I’ve loved helping clients over the years, it’s been very rewarding and enjoyable. I’m most passionate about keeping healthy and staying active. Please click below to see video testimonials from my happy clients!
Helping clients out of the immediate pain
My aim is initially about helping clients out of acute pain, getting back to keeping healthy and staying active, and to lighten the cloud of misery and grouchy mood that accompanies the draining back or joint pain, sometimes accompanied by sciatica, arm or sharp nerve pain.
Preventing the problem from returning
After the initial acute pain has settled, my focus is firmly based on helping prevent the problem from recurring. This is where my passion lies. There are usually causative factors, and it’s helping clients to make changes to their habitual patterns in their daily lives, to prevent the ‘silent strain’, that is most rewarding. This can hugely help the recurring episodes or the long-term chronic pain that many back sufferers know so well.
How many treatments are required?
It is difficult to assess how many treatments are needed until I have seen you to take a history and examination. Usually, the longer time the condition has been there, the longer it may take to get better. I always aim to give just the number or treatments required and often this may be just a few visits, but some conditions may require maintenance treatments. This is covered in more detail in Your First Chiropractic Visit.
