Welcome to my website which provides information regarding the treatment of back pain, musculoskeletal injuries and pregnancy care, the principal practice is located in Westbury on Trym, Bristol and I also have a secondary practice in Wells Somerset.

Please feel free to browse the website and see if chiropractic or pregnancy care can help you with a problem that is troubling your body and preventing you getting along with the meaningful things in life.
If you feel you need further information please do not hesitate to contact myself or the clinics for further information (see the contacts page).

The clinics provided care for a range of muscular, joint and nerve problems. If you are unfortunate to suffer with:

• Acute low back pain and Chronic low back pain

• Pins and needles in the legs or arms

• Acute whiplash-associated disorders

• Shoulder girdle pain/dysfunction and Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder)

• Tennis elbow.

• Hip osteoarthritis

• Knee osteoarthritis

• Plantar fasciitis (foot pain)

• Migraine

• Cervicogenic headache/ dizziness

• Extremity joint conditions

• Acute/subacute neck pain and Chronic neck pain.

Acute = Short term
Chronic = Longstanding condition.

The conditions above can be treated by a wide variety of treatment procedures, not just manipulation that chiropractors are traditionally known to utilise. All treatments sessions are conducted with patient preference.
Treatment sessions can include:

• Massage, trigger point therapy and soft tissue techniques

• Spinal and extremity Manipulation

• Mobilizations

• Dry Needling / Acupuncture

• Low force techniques – activator and biomechanical blocking

• Stretching of muscular groups

• Rehabilitation – using the principals of Pilates and Yoga

Pregnancy Massage and Care

The pregnancy massage is provided at both the Westbury on Trym clinic and Wells clinic. The pregnancy massage service id dedicated to providing either treatment for muscular and joints problems you may be experiencing during your pregnancy as well as having a relaxing, tension easing massage to help you unwind. The clinic possesses dedicated pregnancy benches which have a specially designed opening in the middle has specialised massage equipment allowing the mother-to-be to comfortably lie on her tummy. This allows me to effectively massage sore neck, shoulders and back while on your tummy! As well as feeling the familiarity of lying face down, your bump in gently cushioned by a support sling in the middle so no falling thorough the centre of the bench!
The training in becoming and practicing a chiropractor provides comprehensive training to understand the complications and risk factors in pregnancy. I can then safely identify when massage should be avoided, when a doctor’s approval may be necessary, and can more prudently provide massage to women with complications or in a higher risk pregnancy.
