Please note that due to the risks presented by COVID-19, it may not be appropriate for you to receive treatment if you are more vulnerable to the virus. Before you you attend for treatment, a phone free phone consultation will be booked to determine whether it is safe for you to be treated, taking into account the current local and national levels of risk and balancing these with your need for treatment.
Chiropractic to manage or relieve pain
If you are suffering from the following conditions, you may benefit from chiropractic care:
- Back, neck or shoulder pain
- Joint pain, discomfort or stiffness
- Headaches including migraine
- Muscular aches
- Sports injuries
- Arthritic pain
Spinal misalignments can be caused by trauma, such as a fall or jolt, or can develop gradually over time, from muscle imbalances and activities in our daily lives. If left unchecked, these can lead to muscle or joint pain.
Pain can be stressful and can cause changes to posture, leading to further misalignments and muscle imbalances. Chiropractic can break this cycle, reducing pain and increasing mobility.
Chiropractic for health and wellbeing..
Some people choose to see a chiropractor regularly to help prevent pain and discomfort, rather than waiting until it happens. Regular chiropractic care helps your body to maintain a healthy balance.
If you work at a computer all day, enjoy gardening or sport, do a lot of driving, or play a musical instrument keeping a good posture can be a challenge. Over time, our daily activities can gradually cause misalignments to the spine. Spinal misalignments can lead to muscle imbalances and these in turn can lead to further misalignments..
Often we do not notice this process happening until it gets bad enough to cause muscle spasm or joint pain. Chiropractors can use their fine tuned sense of touch to find and correct misalignments before they cause pain.
Chiropractic for performance..............
If you play competitive sport or perform music, it makes sense to keep your nervous system in top condition to give yourself the best advantage.
Chiropractors have been involved in the treatment of sports people from the very beginning of the profession. Sports care focusses on prevention of injury and identification of mechanical dysfunction that may prevent you from reaching your full potential.
Like sports people, dancers also push themselves physically and musicians spend may spend long periods of time practicing or performing in postures that can cause imbalance.
The idea of chiropractic care for musicians and dancers is less established than for sports, but makes just as much sense.
Mctimoney Chiropractic was developed by John McTimoney, a British Chiropractor from Banbury. For more information about this please see our page about the history of McTimoney Chiropractic.
