Most adult patients visit the practice for one of the following reasons:
- Sudden pain brought on by recent physical trauma, awkward movement or occasionally for ‘no apparent reason’.
- Ongoing chronic pain caused or aggravated by repetitive movements or spending long hours (sometimes a few minutes) in one position such as sitting at a computer, driving or standing.
- Ongoing chronic pain caused by accidents or operations in the past. Often these are thought of as unrelated to the presenting symptoms.
- Simple movements such as walking or running which don’t feel right, although there is little or no pain.
- Stress related musculo-skeletal pain and tension.
Conditions we treat at the practice:
- Neck and back pain
- Headaches
- Trapped nerves
- Peripheral joint and muscle pain – shoulder/elbow/hand/hip/knee/foot

If when assessed we feel that we are unable to help, referral to a GP or a different specialist will be advised.
