McTimoney chiropractic

The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (e.g. the spine) and function (e.g. the nervous system) and how that relationship can preserve and restore health.

If any part of the spine becomes misaligned, a nerve may become trapped or stretched, resulting in discomfort or pain and reduced mobility and stiffness. This can be the result of poor posture, incorrect lifting, falls, car or sporting accidents, childbirth or even stress. These conditions could worsen over time if not corrected.

The aim of a McTimoney chiropractor is to stimulate the body’s own self-healing mechanism and to facilitate a return to optimum health. This is achieved through a series of gentle, rapid, low-force adjustments which are suitable for all age groups from young children to the old and frail . The McTimoney approach to chiropractic is based on a whole body assessment of the individual, concentrating on structural problems as well as their general wellbeing and quality of life. The gentle nature of McTimoney makes it especially suitable for pregnant women, both before and after childbirth to ensure correct alignment of the pelvis.

Postural advice will also be given to patients to help them to alter the way they do things in order to prevent or minimise future recurrences.

Conditions which may benefit from treatment include back, neck and joint pain or stiffness, back pain or pelvic pain in pregnancy, migraine and tension headaches, muscular aches and pains, sciatica, whiplash and sports injuries.

I was in so much pain that I couldn’t even turn to cross the road safely. A friend recommended McTimoney chiropractic. After just three treatments I was completely pain-free. It’s reassuring to know that you are just a phone call away. Jane
