You need to read our blog post ‘Chiropractic Vs Chiropractor’ for a deeper answer, however in short there are symptoms that will respond to a specific Chiropractic correction, and others that will respond to your Chiropractors advice.

Is it the advice that gets you better, the treatment, or both?

At Duffield Chiropractic Clinic we treat everyone as an individual, so we pick and choose what’s best for you. There are common conditions that Chiropractors treat though, linked below.

Conditions Treated Make a booking

No, Duffield Chiropractic Clinic accepts patients on a private basis and as such you can book in for an appointment and be seen quickly (usually within 2-3 days) and treatment can also be started on the day where appropriate.

If your Chiropractor feels your GP needs to be made aware of your problem, or if any further tests such as imaging or blood tests are required, then we will contact your GP with your permission to suggest this.

What to Expect Make a booking

There are a few main types of headaches: migraines, tension type, and cervicogenic. Cervicogenic headaches mean those arising from the neck, however migraines and tension type headaches can also be affected and triggered by neck, spine, and jaw problems (but will likely have some other triggers and causes too).

Your Chiropractor can assess your neck and spine to check if your headache is coming form your neck and start safe effective treatment if so.

At this phase of treatment you are mostly out of pain however the muscles and ligaments haven’t completely strengthened up, you may still have some bad postural or movement habits, or the joints just haven’t quite got the idea yet!

You are given home exercises to correct these however you will need supportive treatment to maintain the corrections on a ‘phased out’ basis until it completely resolves and heals. We normally see people at intervals of 1-2 weeks, then 3-4 weeks, then 6 or 8 weeks until you reach a maintenance level.

Pain Make a booking

If you have leg pain you will probably be told it is sciatica, which basically means leg pain, so there is no wonder it’s very common diagnosis for leg pain! However there are many reasons for leg pain, and we need to go through to check all of the causes and the effects they are having on your nerves.

It could be a disc, it could be the joints or muscle spasm and inflammation – and any combination of those together! Best get checked to see what the specific diagnosis is.

Maintenance care is actually what makes up 80% of patient visits in our diary – if your problem arose without any major injury (which happens most often) it is likely that it came on through repeated stresses and strains over time.

Once you get better after the first few weeks of treatment then you’ll probably benefit from periodic check ups or ‘MOT’s’ every 2-4 months to keep your body running smoothly – we call this maintenance care.

You have a postural syndrome called ‘upper cross posture’ – this is where your chest and upper traps get tight, and at the same time you have weakness in the deep neck flexors and rhomboids.

If you stretch and strengthen these imbalances it will really help. We combine these stretches and exercises with treatment which is even more effective as it solves the root cause of where and why these imbalances occurred in the first place.
