Care for back pain in Rayleigh
If you are experiencing the misery of back pain, you are not alone. Back pain affects around 80% of people at some stage during their lifetime.
Can a chiropractor help with back pain?
Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline that focuses primarily on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect your musculoskeletal system, which is made up of your bones, muscles and joints. For many types of non-specific low back pain, spinal manipulation is one recognised option alongside staying active and exercise.
At our Rayleigh clinic, we take the time to understand the root cause of your symptoms, not just where it hurts. Every patient receives a tailored care plan based on their lifestyle, health history and goals. If a serious condition is suspected, a referral to your GP or hospital will be made.
