“I've walked all summer. No pain!” ☀️

We received this lovely handwritten card from a patient recently, and it's really nice to know she's been able to enjoy her walks again!

Her treatment involved a combination of osteopathy, shockwave therapy and exercises to help her recover and stay active.

This is something we really believe in at Manchester Spinal Health. Osteopathy, chiropractic, shockwave therapy and exercise rehabilitation all have their place, and sometimes combining different approaches can make a real difference.

It's easy to take something as simple as walking without pain for granted, until you can't do it comfortably anymore.

Really pleased to hear she's doing so well, and thank you for the lovely card! ❤️

If pain has been stopping you from doing the things you enjoy, we'd be happy to see how we can help.

Been putting up with pain and hoping it’ll just go away?
A lot of the new patients we see have already waited weeks — sometimes months — before booking.

Back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, shoulder problems, hip or knee pain… sometimes the first step is simply finding out what’s actually contributing to it and what you can do about it.

At Manchester Spinal Health, our Osteopaths & Chiropractor provide hands-on treatment alongside advice and rehabilitation tailored to you.

We also offer dry needling/acupuncture and shockwave therapy where appropriate. These are among the activities covered under my current professional liability policy.

Cervical instability & dizziness

Earlier today I saw a patient presenting with dizziness alongside signs of cervical instability.

Dizziness can have many different causes, but in some cases the cervical spine may be part of the picture. Assessment is key to understanding what’s actually driving the symptoms.

**Have you ever seen a square watermelon? 🍉**

Grow a watermelon inside a cube and, over time, it adapts to the shape around it.

Our bodies adapt too. Previous injuries, posture, work, sport and everyday habits can gradually influence the way we move.

Today I treated a **4-week-old baby** who had difficulty bending comfortably to the left, with restriction through the ribs and upper body. His parents had also noticed reflux and digestive discomfort.

Gentle osteopathic treatment focused on improving the restricted movement and helping his body move more freely and symmetrically.

Osteopathy and chiropractic are often about identifying the adaptations the body has developed — and helping restore better movement.

Good morning and hope we’re having a good weekend!
I want to share a note from a new patient upon booking in. This might give you an idea of what conditions we normally see in clinic.

“Message from : Would prefer if ADRIAN SUM did this as he was HIGHLY recommended

PAIN ISN’T ALWAYS WHERE YOU FEEL IT

Knee pain may be influenced by the hip, lower back or nerve irritation.
Don’t just chase the symptom. Assess the whole picture.
