Chiropractors specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the joints, muscles and soft tissues, particularly those of the spine and their effect on the nervous system. The chiropractor is a specialist clinician. Five years of training mean highly developed diagnostic skills, and as a professional consultant he/she can determine whether manipulation is appropriate for the condition, or whether the patient should be referred for other types of treatment or further investigation.
As chiropractors who are constantly trying to improve our techniques and patient care, we have a variety of treatment techniques available. This means that each treatment is tailormade to the individual patient and will ensure you improve as quickly as possible. Chiropractic manipulation is also known as an adjustment, and is a highly skilled technique which is aimed at gently unlocking stiff joints.
Usually, you will also receive some soft tissue work to relax tight musculature and to speed up healing in tendons and ligaments.

You don't have to play tennis to have a tennis elbow.
Repetitive use of your wrist (such as using a screw driver or typing) can cause an overload of the tendon which inserts into the outside and back of the elbow.
This can be excruciatingly painful and patients often present with severe weakness of the affected arm.
Some people even struggle to lift a pint glass!
In any case of elbow pain the chiropractor will always assess the neck and upper back as this may be the actual cause of the pain.
Especially if patients get pain in both elbows, we expect to see a central problem - usually in the neck.

Headaches are a very common symptom and unfortunately most people think they have to live with them.
A lot of headaches actually originate from a problem with the upper part of the neck - these are called Cervicogenic Headaches.
This will often cause pain from the back of the skull over the top of the head and/or behind or over the eyes.
The pain is 'tight' and like a 'vice' rather than throbbing.
Tension in the shoulders for example caused by stress, can develop into a headache - usually called a 'tension headache'.
