Enhancing movement to reduce pain

BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

Joint manipulation

Spinal manipulative therapy or spinal manipulation is a manual therapy technique where we apply a quick force to the joints to help reduce symptoms and increase range of motion

We often get asked by our patients if this technique is realigning the joints or popping things back into place. This isn’t the case, but what we are doing is helping to de-sensitise an area or joint, so that you can move with more freedom and less pain.

Spinal manipulation is much more effective when used alongside physical rehabilitation. The rehab that your chiropractor chooses for you will be based on your presentation and your overall goal for recovery.

This means that we only give exercises that are explicitly necessary for your personal recovery.

If your chiropractor deems it necessary, they may refer you to your GP or for scans like ultrasounds or MRIs, either before or alongside your treatment plan. This helps tailor your care effectively to ensure you receive the most appropriate treatment.

Massage therapy can be used alongside your chiropractic treatment to help with recovery or as part of a long-term management option. It provides a holistic approach, especially beneficial for active individuals and tailored to individual needs.

What do our clients think?

After four years of back pain I decided to see a Chiropractor as it was affecting my work and daily life. I was given an appointment the next day with Jake. I have had two appointments with him and I can already feel the benefit. Jake explained what he would do and answered all my questions. The exercises have been ones that I can do at home. Jake has shown care and professionalism at all times. I am so glad that I chose this clinic. The reception staff are very helpful.

Carolyn O’Dea

My husband has visited 3 times now and is doing his exercises regularly – significant improvement. Very pleased with everything to do with Rob’s advice.

Jacqui Thone

Stuart Washington looks after my lower back which has been troublesome since I retired. Stuart and the reception staff at the Diss clinic are very friendly and welcoming. The adjacent parking is very handy even though the clinic is close to the town centre. The treatment and advice re: exercises and stretches I receive from Stuart has helped me to keep my back pain free for most of the time, but when I do exceed my limits he helps me to get back to normal in good time. Most of the time I am on routine bi-monthly “care and maintenance” appointments, but I can get out of schedule appointments when needed. I am very happy with the service.

John Ambler

My treatments help reduce the frequency and severity of my migraines, having battled with this condition for decades.

Claire Gallant

Excellent service, fitted me in very quickly, and noticed an immediate improvement.
