Pregnant women

Increased loading and hormonal changes in pregnancy often gives rise to back pain.

Loss of abdominal tone, exhaustion and excessive bending and carrying leads to strain in the upper and lower back after giving birth.

Babies and children

Unsettled babies, some recurrent ear conditions in toddlers, annual check ups to ensure your child gets the best chance to grow to an adult with a healthy spine and enable us to detect and deal with problems early.

Pain most commonly comes from bone, joints, muscle, ligaments and nerves.

Occasionally there are other causes, which is why it is important for us to take a detailed case history, do a full clinical examination and make a diagnosis.

We then make our treatment plan or refer if necessary.
