How we work
Whoever you see assesses you first. If we are not the right people to help, we tell you and point you to someone who is, which is often your GP.
Back and neck
Low back pain: everyday back pain and stiffness that is not from an injury or accident, whether it started recently or has been around for months or years. Alongside hands-on treatment, we give you exercises to do at home and advice on how you sit and work.
Neck pain: mechanical neck pain and stiffness that did not follow an injury such as whiplash, assessed and treated with hands-on care and advice you can use at home and at work.
Upper back pain: our guide to the causes, the red flags that need a doctor, and when chiropractic can help.
Headaches
Headaches and migraines: headaches that start from the neck, and care aimed at migraine prevention. If your headaches are new, severe or changing, see your GP first.
Foot and heel
Plantar fasciitis: short-term management of heel and arch pain from plantar fasciitis, with the NHS self-care advice and the signs that mean you should see a GP. Our podiatry clinic can also assess you for insoles.
Podiatry: routine chiropody, diabetic foot care, corns and calluses, ingrown toenails, gait analysis and custom orthotics in our podiatry clinic.
Joints
Osteoarthritis: hip and knee pain from osteoarthritis, treated alongside the exercise plan that NICE puts first. Chiropractic cannot reverse osteoarthritis.
Care for pregnancy, babies and children
Pregnancy care: back pain and general aches in pregnancy, with care adapted to each stage. We see patients in every trimester and after the birth.
Babies and children: light, adapted techniques for babies, children and teenagers, and a clear list of what chiropractic does not treat in babies.
Sports injuries
Sports therapy: hands-on treatment and rehabilitation programmes for sports and activity injuries. Our chiropractors also see minor sports injuries, so if you are not sure which to book, ask us.
Who you will see
All our chiropractors are registered with the General Chiropractic Council, including Dr Ammani Husna, Doctor of Chiropractic (not a medical doctor). Fiona Metcalfe, podiatrist at ChiroCare, is HCPC-registered. You do not need a GP referral to see a chiropractor or to book with our podiatry clinic.
