What is a Chiropractor?

Chiropractors are trained to diagnose, treat, manage and prevent disorders of the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, and muscles). We also manage the effects these disorders can have on the nervous system and general health.

We have a specialist interest in neck and back pain, but when we assess patients, we take their entire physical, emotional and social wellbeing into account (British Chiropractic Association).

What do adjustments do?

Chiropractic adjustments of the spine and the limbs help to restore normal joint motion and function. In turn, this helps to reduce mechanical and chemical irritation to the surrounding tissues. The result of this is reduced pain, relaxed muscles and improved coordination.

Adjustments are normally just one part of the integrated approach of sports chiropractic care.

Is treatment safe?

Yes, Chiropractic treatment is safe for people of all ages and backgrounds. A thorough history and exam will help to determine if we can help you and how best to safely proceed. If you have any concerns before we start with treatment then just let us know and we will be happy to accommodate. You can find out more information on Chiropractic treatment here.

What makes the sound during an adjustment?

It is believed by many people that the sound during an adjustment is the bone going back into place. However this is not the case. The crack that is heard is simply a bubble of gas escaping from the fluid (known as the synovium) within the joint.

This crack is not necessary for the adjustment to produce positive effects.

Do I have to keep coming back?

No. Once we’ve reached the goals that you created during the initial consultation we will not keep you coming back indefinitely. At this stage however many people choose to continue coming in sporadically for maintenance check ups because it helps them thrive.

Chiropractic treatment can be a useful part to many people’s health maintenance plan, similar to proper diet, exercise and sleep. You can find out more information on exercise’s importance for injury recovery here.

Highly recommend Pro Chiro! Josh has been incredible with helping with my lower back pain from a riding accident, after just one session I felt a massive difference! A few sessions later the pain has completely gone, my back feels much stronger and I’m now just having occasional sessions for maintenance

Could not recommend Pro Chiro enough! Have been having some stiffness in my back for quite a while so booked in a session with Josh. He was incredible, listened to my issues and then sorted them and gave me a couple of easy to remember exercises to help - all for a great price. Will be recommending him to all friends and family for sure.

Josh is excellent. He listened to my problem, quickly diagnosed the cause, and treated it so it improved within a couple of weeks over three sessions. And a very nice chap too! Highly recommended

I started working with Josh earlier this year I can't recomend enough. He is super friendly! He has helped me out of a rut with injury and helped put a plan in place to prevent it happening again. Simple and easy to do exercises which were really effective.

Came to Josh with back pain from golf, within one session he identified the cause and adjusted me which has allowed me to improve on and off the golf course. It has made me feel loose with no pain, great guy to have a chat with, would highly recommend

I have been to many chiros over the years and have struggled to find someone to help as I have had a couple of spinal surgeries yet Pro-chiro has been great and would definitely recommend them!

Knowledgeable, friendly and professional service from Chiro Josh making me feel very comfortable and making a huge difference to my neck and back pains. Lovely new premises too. Would highly recommend.
