Physiotherapists and chiropractors both specialise in helping patients to manage pain and improve movement, but each approach has a distinct focus and methodology.

Chiropractic care is the more modern approach. It looks at movement, posture, stress, the function of the joints, soft tissue and the nervous system. Chiropractors often use spinal manipulation and other hands-on techniques to ease pain and reduce inflammation. They may also suggest exercises and lifestyle changes to support both short term and long term conditions.

Physiotherapists take a wider approach. They focus on rehabilitation for sports injuries, neurological conditions and recovery after surgery.

Chiropractic treatment involves the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of conditions related to the nerves and musculoskeletal system. The most well known method for this is spinal manipulation, also known as chiropractic adjustment.

We routinely incorporate additional techniques such as soft tissue therapy, exercises, and stretches. In our clinic, we also use advanced K Laser medical therapy to reduce pain, calm inflammation and help the body heal.

Our treatments provide a less invasive approach than medication or surgery. They can help with painful conditions linked to the structure and function of the body and can support a smoother recovery.

Our practitioners will often use chiropractic adjustments for patients with restricted joint mobility.

This procedure involves applying a controlled movement. As the tiny spaces open up in your joints, a painless ‘pop’ is often heard where a release of pressure allows gas to escape, known as joint cavitation.

These procedures are made with the aim to improve the body’s motion and physical function.

Every patient’s treatment plan is bespoke to their needs and lifestyle. This can be influenced by age, existing conditions and general health, chronic pain, and the nature of any conditions to be treated.

It also depends on the approach requested. We often recommend maintenance care for certain ongoing conditions. It helps support steady progress rather than focusing only on short term symptom relief.

The decision for how long you benefit from care is always your choice. Our aim is to help you get well and stay well.

If you have any recent imaging, (e.g. x-rays or MRI scans/results) please bring these along with you. We can then tie this into your history and physical examination, helping to formulate a plan for your care.

Chiropractic care is recognised as being very safe when performed by a registered practitioner.

To keep you safe and reduce the risk of side effects, we carry out a full assessment. We review your medical history and complete a physical examination to check which treatment is right for you.

In rare cases, our patients may experience mild soreness for the first few days after treatment. This is your body adapting and changing in the way it works, which is perfectly normal.

Chiropractic care is often used to help relieve sciatica and other conditions linked to the neuromusculoskeletal system.

Our practitioners work to ease pressure on the sciatic nerve by improving how the spine and muscles function. This can help reduce muscle tightness, nerve irritation and inflammation.

For many patients with sciatica, chiropractic treatment can be an effective, non-invasive method to relieve and manage pain. To find out whether this treatment would suit you, it’s best to discuss with us.

We can often assist with managing the symptoms of Osteoarthritis, such as general aches and joint pains.

Whilst treatment cannot cure this condition or reverse the damage it causes, we can often help to relieve discomfort and maintain function.

Most people first come to us with neck, back, joint or nerve and soft tissue concerns. We also see many people who simply want to stay proactive, get fit and keep well. Our care is safe and effective for people of all ages, from children and the elderly to elite sports athletes.

It can be difficult to estimate the cost of treatment as all cases are different. Each patient will respond uniquely to treatment, and it can also depend on experience and methods used. At At Anglia Chiropractic, we aim to ease your symptoms as soon as we can. We also want to help you stay well in the long run, without adding unnecessary time or cost.

We offer bespoke care tailored to your needs, goals and condition with ongoing support until required.
