Chiropractic

If you ask most people “what does a chiropractor do?” they will usually answer “fix bad backs” or “relieve pain”.

Chiropractic is a straight forward method of adjusting the bones of your body to improve the alignment of your skeleton. The purpose of chiropractic care is to realign and rebalance your body to relieve pain and discomfort, and increase mobility.

Possible causes include incorrect lifting, falls, car or sporting accidents, occupational hazards, poor posture or sleeping position.

You probably have a regular dental check-up and know that babies and children should be regularly checked over. However, do you know that it may be beneficial to have your spine checked at regular intervals by a registered chiropractor?

McTimoney Chiropractic

The McTimoney method of chiropractic was developed by the late John McTimoney over 50 years ago and is taught only at the McTimoney College of Chiropractic in Abingdon, near Oxford. It is well known for being a precise, whole body approach to chiropractic care. The gentle nature of the McTimoney method makes it especially suitable for people of all ages.

An initial consultation will comprise taking a full case history regarding general health background as well as details of symptoms, which will all help in assessing and analysing the problem.

Can Chiropractic Help You?

The following conditions can benefit from chiropractic care:

• Back, neck and shoulder pain
• Pain, discomfort and stiffness in joints
• Migraine
• Muscular aches
• Sports injuries
• Arthritic pain

How many sessions will you need?

If you have not had treatment before, then on average you may need between two and ten treatments. But this will also be dependent on a number of factors, e.g:

• Your age
• The nature of your condition
• How long you have had the problem
• What you do following treatment

The Therapists

Barbara Deacon, who is also the Director of the Grove, has been in practice since 1984. All the Chiropractors working at the Grove are registered with the UK General Chiropractic Council. True to the World Health Organisation philosophy, we believe that good health is not just the absence of pain or disease, but a positive sense of physical, emotional and mental well-being. The more balanced the body is, the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living, as well as with unexpected trauma.
