Who do we treat?

It often seems to surprise people when we claim to treat problems other than low back pain or other spinal mishaps, so I thought it might be useful to analyse, briefly, the symptoms of the patients of one of our practitioners over the last fortnight.

So although spinal problems are the most significant issues for many(about 40%), people come to us with many other types of conditions, and often we can help. Most people will have had previous medical help or advice with these things which has either not helped enough or has caused other problems.
