Chiropractic treatment does not always mean manual manipulation.

We understand that that kind of treatment can make people nervous about their appointment and may put them off, this is why we use more holistic methods.

Not just because they are more gentle, but because they achieve incredible results:

👉 More than 4000 studies on pub.med.gov have demonstrated that low level laser therapy “has a positive effect on acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain.” Our lasers are provided by @‌Erchonia

👉 The National Library of Medicine lists research that indicates therapeutic results equivalent to traditional hands-on spinal manipulation, without the manual manipulation.

This both promotes recovery in our patients and makes them much more comfortable before, during and after their treatment. My patients can then walk out of the clinic with their Smile again.

Please reach out to me if you have any more questions or wish to book your appointment.

How can Northumberland improve your health?

Well, stress precedes pain, and often many issues that result in chiropractor care stem from a lack of mobility.

Reducing stress and ensuring your body stays mobile are two excellent prevention measures to keep any pain and discomfort at bay.

While the weather remains pleasant, Northumberland can help you achieve this! Swipe to find out how!

Let me know if you’ll be trying either of my recommendations.

And of course, if you are currently experiencing pain or discomfort that won’t budge, please book in with me. I’m located in Alnwick, and my door is always open to new patients.

Your joints can become stiff for reasons other than aging. But there are several things you can do to prevent stiffness from building up in each of your joints.

Here are only three exercises to target different joints that you could incorporate into your morning or evening routine, wherever works best for you:

💙 Your Hips: Try the 90/90 hip stretch and windshield wiper your knees from side to side (see image)

💙 Your shoulders: Thread the needle by starting on your hands and knees and reaching your left hand to the sky before threading it through the space between your other hand and knee (see pictured).

💙 Your knees - Going for a swim twice a month, either in the pool or the sea if you’re feeling brave! The low impact movement takes the pressure off your joints as you move.

These exercises are for everyone, no matter your age.

Joint stiffness isn't just an 'aging' thing. It’s often just your body asking for a very specific kind of movement.

So if you are feeling stiff and these movements aren’t helping, then please book an appointment with me.

This is your reminder that healing isn’t a linear process.

Your body is a complex machine, and we need to be patient and listen to help aid its recovery journey.

It’s also important to remember that the time it takes your body to heal will be different to someone else, even if you have the exact same issue. There are lots of factors at play, and it’s unhelpful to compare yourselves to others.

I know how frustrating it can be, waiting for your body to heal, but it is an essential process to make sure you heal properly, and to prevent the injury resurfacing in the future.

Back pain is the most common reason people seek help from a chiropractor, so I thought I’d share three ways to keep your spine healthy to prevent back pain from developing.

👉 Swipe through the slides for your step by step.

Incorporating these into your everyday routine may be unrealistic depending on your current commitments. But if you’re able to complete a few rounds of these exercises 4 days a week, your spine will benefit.

So, will you be integrating these movements into your routine?

If you’ve had surgery or been diagnosed with a specific back condition, please consult your doctor before integrating these movements to make sure they are in line with your recovery.

If you’re in pain and using painkillers to manage it, that’s ok if it’s just to get you by until your appointment, but it isn’t a long-term solution.

In order for your body to heal - whether that be your neck, your back, or your joints - you have to address the root of your pain.

And in order to do that, it is best to seek medical advice, whether that be from a chiropractor or otherwise.

This is also the way to make sure your pain doesn’t come back a few weeks, months, or years down the line.

So, what are you waiting for? If you’re relying on ibuprofen just to get through the day and manage the pain in your back or neck, book in with me, if you’re in the Northumberland area.

Expensive chairs won't save you if you don't change your habits.

A chair can't undo 8 hours of total immobility.👇

The body is built to move, stretch, and load weight differently throughout the day.

Real relief comes when you keep give your spine the mobility it needs to stay healthy.

Try going for a walk around Alnwick on the weekend, a short walk at lunch during work, or a simple yoga routine to end the day.

Your spine needs movement, more than it needs a new chair to be static in.

So don’t forget about your mobility after you’ve invested in a new desk chair.

It’s easy to slouch when you're deep in focus at your desk, but your body is likely banking that tension for a later discomfort.

I know that once you’re on a role with something, you don’t want to stop, but there are two short, simple breaks that shouldn’t break your focus.

1️⃣ Take a bathroom break! Sounds like a strange tip, but it is usually a habitual action, meaning you don’t have to tune your brain out of the task, but are still giving your body a break from your sitting position.

2️⃣ Try the "Bruegger’s Relief Position” like in the carousel to give your body a quick release without breaking away from your focus.

Your health is just as important as the task you’re working on, if not more.

If you have persistent pain in your back and neck from your posture, come in to see me, and I’ll help you banish your pain for good.

That satisfying 'pop' when you twist your own neck? You’re actually making yourself more unstable.

The only thing satisfying for you is the sound, you’re body doesn’t feel that same satisfaction.
