What Brings People In

The conditions below are the ones we see most often, but the list is a starting point rather than a boundary. Plenty of what walks through the door does not have a tidy name, and it does not need one to be assessed.

What these have in common is that they are mechanical: something is being loaded in a way it is not currently prepared for, whether that arrived suddenly or built up over months. That is what an assessment is for, and it is why two people with the same diagnosis often need different plans.

Conditions We Help With

A starting point, not a limit. If you do not see yours, book an assessment and ask.

Low Back Pain

The deep ache across the belt line, the catch when you bend, the stiffness that is worst at 7am.

Neck Pain

A neck that will not turn one way, or an ache at the base of the skull by mid afternoon.

Sciatica

Pain that travels down one leg, often with pins and needles, numbness or weakness.

Sports Injuries

The rolled ankle you can name, or the niggle that only shows up at a certain distance.

Why We Assess Areas That Do Not Hurt

One of the more confusing parts of a first appointment is watching someone assess a region that feels completely fine. There is a reason for it.

The body distributes load. When one area stops contributing its share, through injury, stiffness or habit, the areas next to it take on more. The place that eventually complains is often the one absorbing the extra work, not the one that stopped doing its job.

A common version: a stiff upper back means the neck does more of the rotation you need to shoulder check. The neck is where you feel it. The upper back is where the change has to happen. Treating only the neck tends to buy a few good days and a returning problem.

Questions People Ask Before Booking

My problem is not on this list. Can you still help?

Often, yes. These are the conditions we see most, not the only ones we treat. Call and describe it, and we will tell you whether an assessment here is the right next step or whether you would be better off starting somewhere else.

How do I know whether to book or wait it out?

Waiting is reasonable when something followed an obvious cause, is improving each day, and is not stopping you doing what you need to do. It is worth booking when a problem is not improving after a couple of weeks, keeps coming back, or is changing what you avoid. Recurring problems in particular usually have something bringing them back.

Do I need imaging first?

Usually not. Most mechanical pain does not need an X-ray or MRI to be assessed and treated, and imaging findings often do not match the symptoms. Part of the assessment is identifying the smaller number of cases where imaging or a medical referral does change the plan.

When should I see a doctor instead?

Numbness or weakness that is spreading, loss of bladder or bowel control, significant pain after a fall or collision, or pain with fever are reasons to contact a physician or emergency services rather than book here. If you are unsure, call and describe it.
