Chiropractic and Osteopathy
We currently have three permanent chiropractors at the Centre, Anna, Megan and Ellie. Rob is our osteopath. These therapist all work together, so you are welcome to move between them without needing a first consultation each time.
Chiropractors and Osteopaths treat problems with joints, bones and muscles, and the effects they have on the nervous system and the rest of the body. Working on all the joints of the body, concentrating particularly on the spine. They use their hands to make often gentle, specific adjustments (another word for manipulation) to improve the efficiency of the body and release it's natural healing ability.
Rob, our osteopath, is trained to offer Photobiomodulation (PBM) or Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT).. This is a laser or LED light therapy that improves tissue repair (skin wounds, muscle, tendon, bone, nerves), reduces inflammation and reduces pain wherever the beam is applied. This may be suggested to aid your recovery.
Anna, Rob and Ellie can also offer you shockwave treatment, which can be discussed in your consultation. Megan is in charge of our rehab programmes and we may send you to her to get an exercise programme set up.
Radial Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a revolutionary non-invasive technology used to treat painful and resistant tendon (and other) problems. The treatment involves powerful acoustic shockwaves passing through the skin to the affected area. Shockwave therapy can be very successful in patients who have failed to respond to conservative treatment of tendon pain. It will form the important first step to restoring strength in a degenerate tendon and returning to improved function.
As we get used to the processes and procedures with the new shockwave device, we are offering it great value prices.
We can also offer packages that offer a discount for purchasing 3 treatments. To purchase a package you must speak to our receptionist. Payment in full in advance is required.
How does ESWT work?
The shockwaves that are produced by the machine are generated by compressed air inside a hand-held applicator. When the applicator is placed on the surface of the skin the impulses are delivered through the skin as a shockwave that spreads inside the injured tissue as a ‘radial’ wave. These radial shockwaves initiate an inflammation-like response in the injured tissue that is being treated. This prompts the body to respond naturally by increasing blood circulation, the number of blood vessels and therefore metabolism in the injured tissue. This accelerates the body’s natural healing process by increasing cell generation and dissolving calcium deposits.
Scientific studies have shown shockwave can effectively:·
Reduce pain in tendon and bone tissue·
Increase blood flow to bone-tendon junctions
Regulate cellular inflammation
Increase activity and health of bone and tendon cells
Conditions recommended for treatment with ESWT
Calcific Tendonitis Shoulder
Trochanteric Bursitis (lateral hip pain)
Patella Tendinopathy
Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow
Achilles Tendinopathy
Plantar Fascitis
Medial Tibial Periostitis (shin splints)
Most conditions respond within three to five treatments, performed at weekly intervals (ideally 6-10 days apart); on your first visit you will be assessed and if it is safe to do so, you will receive your first shockwave therapy session . Each treatment session takes about 20 minutes.
Sports Therapy/Sports Massage
Sports Therapy / Clinical Massage aims to help to alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissue during physical activity. It tends to be based on a deeper and more intense than normal massage and often incorporates a combination of others techniques involving stretching, toning, trigger points therapy, Pilates and Shiatsu methods.
This treatment is not just for the sports person, anyone can benefit from sports massage, including people in physically demanding jobs and those not quiet so obvious (occupational, emotional and postural stress may produce many similar characteristics to sports injuries).
The main goal of therapy is to bring optimum performance and to provide injury-free training and minimise post event injuries .Offering deep tissue massage, sports massage and remedial massage. We now also offer a massage with cbd oil - this is incredibly relaxing and a real upgrade! The oil smells divine and has additional benefits that may help relaxation and pain relief.
