"My neck is killing me"
"I just woke up with it. No idea how it happened"
We see a lot of neck pain in the clinic. Necks are fragile and heads are too heavy. It doesn't take much to upset the delicate balance. Sometimes all you have to do is sleep awkwardly and you can wake up with terrible neck pain.
But don't worry, we are here to help. Did you know that chiropractic is suitable for all ages? We have treated babies of a few weeks old and our oldest patient is 94.
This month we focus on babies. Find out more from Maya on our socials.
How we can help - chiropractic
We have a variety of techniques, from adjusting to gentle mobilisation, restoring the movement in the joints of your neck. We will tailor the treatment to suit you. If you don't like neck adjustments there are lots of other ways we can help.
Babies in the clinic
We can help babies. Look out for:
Babies prefering to turn their head one way
Difficulties with feeding
Traumatic delivery (forceps or ventouse)
Book a FREE SCREEN for your baby and spread the word to friends and family.
How to help yourself
Think about your posture. Don't let your head come forward when looking at your phone or a computer. Think of your head being pulled upwards by a balloon
If you use a laptop - you should consider a laptop stand
Limit your phone/device use
Ask us for advice and for some stretches to do at home.
If you feel you've overdone it and want to discuss a niggle or a twinge, call us on 01747 851455. Or email me at hello@shaftesburychiropractic.co.uk
All the best,
Vanessa and the team.
