They should be used as part of the whole clinical picture including the patient history, and neurological and orthopedic examination. Imaging alone is not always enough to form the correct diagnosis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/e747e5c3-4941-4f4f-8580-bcd14fe733b0/lat%2Blx%2BMRI%2B.png Blog - Is an MRI or X-ray the best scan for lower back pain? - CASE STUDY: MRI Patient presents with severe low back episodes for 30+ years. Used to see an osteopath when having an episode to 'crack his back' which relieved pain. Gradually episodes become worse in intensity and frequency over years. Some episodic nerve symptoms in leg, but does have ongoing right knee pain for which they were also referred for a scan. Referred for MRI (laying, pain-free day). The disc substance is dark and we see a very prominent disc bulge at L1/2 (green arrow) and degeneration through the L3/4 vertebral endplates (blue). Also noted are: minor disc bulges (pink) and loss of normal lumbar curve (purple) which may or may not be pain producers judging solely from the side view. The MRI report including the horizontal view states the L1/2 (green) disc bulge was not pinching any nerves, however the smaller disc bulges were hitting on some nerves. Orthopedic assessment showed a preference for flexion based movements, no nerve damage, weak lumbar muscles and restriction in the lumbar joints, right pelvic mobility and right hip mobility. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/ec7fa793-bb48-4fcc-a02c-fd99397e5b8f/AP%2Blx%2B.png Blog - Is an MRI or X-ray the best scan for lower back pain? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/0e3e14be-7a99-4af0-beac-ee673c82a1ce/Lat%2Blx%2Bxray.png Blog - Is an MRI or X-ray the best scan for lower back pain? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.gillinghamchiropractic.co.uk/blog/what-my-c-section-taught-me monthly 0.5 2023-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/25a8b776-5d61-41df-a9f8-99eb0562bcf3/maternity+shoot1.jpg Blog - What my c-section taught me - The importance of PREhab: You’d heard of rehab right? The exercises you do after a surgery or injury to help you get back on track? Well prehab is all about getting yourself in the best condition possible before an operation. I was fortunate that I was able to stay active throughout my entire pregnancy, and was still swimming, walking dogs and mucking out horses at 41+ weeks! (Partly out of necessity as my husband had injured himself!) I credit this for allowing me to get back to “normal” much quicker than I expected. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/01a5c389-6eae-46c0-af21-113e5ea2f707/img-20220719-wa0035.jpg Blog - What my c-section taught me - Make a birth plan A, and plan B: Plan for your ideal birth, and plan for your not so ideal birth. I had a separate birth plan for a c-section which made the decision to switch to plan B slightly less scary! Many people say that you shouldn’t make a birth plan because birth never goes to plan, and I couldn’t disagree more! It’s much easier to make an informed choice when you’ve done the research before hand, a birth plan can be flexible. It also means that you can prep your birth partner to advocate for you if needs be. My choice to have an elective c-sec has taught me that there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The pros outweighed the cons for me, but they might not for you (and that’s OK). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/898b4d14-3fc1-4c05-8b42-7d099d2cf086/img_20220721_151407.jpg Blog - What my c-section taught me - Motion is lotion: Your midwives will advise you to get moving as soon as possible. It helps both your recovery, as well as to prevent blood clots. It feels strange at first, personally I didn’t feel any pain, just weakness. Be careful getting in and out of bed; take it very slow and ask for help. Start with very short distances - just a few steps to the loo and back is enough to begin with. You’ll probably find that the first few steps make you cringe, but you’ll surprise yourself how OK it feels once you get going. Don’t forget to stand up straight, I kept feeling like I should be bending forwards, scared that I would do something to the incision, hunching forwards all the time will do more harm than good. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/e4be83dc-45f8-4f33-833b-26b35a18b67a/img-20220725-wa0016.jpg Blog - What my c-section taught me - Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should: I was so surprised at how good I felt after surgery that I kept overdoing it, my husband had to constantly remind me not to lift things, do housework, etc. I just didn’t feel like I’d recently had major surgery! I had to modify some activities like walking the dog - instead I would take them to a dog park so they could run around freely and I could walk as much or as little as I needed. Also if you’re a baby-wearer like me, don’t forget that not only are you walking, but you’re walking with an additional weight that your body isn’t used to (Well, isn’t used to being on the outside of your body at least!) P.S. being cleared for exercise at your 6 week check doesn’t mean you should be going back to the same exercise that you did before, it means that you can start gentle rehab exercises. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/c3683d09-0275-4f61-b676-0cdd4ea946dc/newborn+shoot+at+alfreds+tower81.jpg Blog - What my c-section taught me - Hormones affect your joints. A lot: I’m breastfeeding which means my hormones have plummeted to the level of a menopausal woman, yay! For the first few months after Max was born, I had horrific stiffness - particularly in my knees and ankles. I’d be limping in pain when I got up in the morning, and I only had to be sat still for a couple minutes to set it off again once I tried to move (my husband joked that this was because I was on the wrong side of 30, thanks Nick!). The pain and stiffness didn’t start to subside until my milk supply started to regulate, which leads me to think that it was my hormones wreaking havoc on my joints. Oestrogen has an anti-inflammatory affect on the body, and I naively thought I was too young to be affected that badly, boy was I wrong! I can now empathise with my menopausal patients a bit more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/887f14ef-c3a3-4eaa-ac08-6a65fceefcad/newborn+shoot+at+alfreds+tower99.jpg Blog - What my c-section taught me - Scar massage: I only learned about scar massage shortly before I gave birth and I’m so glad I did. Most people can start this from bout 6 weeks, if you’re unsure whether you’re ready then check with your GP or midwife. The goal is to help prevent/reduce pain, numbness and to prevent scar tissue adhering to surrounding structures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/acd6f9fd-c566-4f0d-b3d6-3debdcaa3e73/newborn+shoot+at+alfreds+tower108.jpg Blog - What my c-section taught me - Being a mum IS exercise: I haven’t practiced what I [should] preach at all in terms of doing the specific exercises that I would have prescribed my patients to do post c-sec. But do you know what I have done? I’ve pushed the pram, I’ve worn him in the baby in a carrier every single day, I’ve thrown him in the air to make him laugh, and I’ve done endless laps up and down the stairs to and from the changing table. And trust me, that is exercise! This is why I don’t nag my patients to do their exercises. I’m the type of person that finds setting aside time to do however many reps of whatever exercise SO BORING. I’d much rather incorporate exercise into my daily life. https://www.gillinghamchiropractic.co.uk/blog/how-do-i-know-if-i-need-surgery-for-my-back-pain monthly 0.5 2022-11-04 https://www.gillinghamchiropractic.co.uk/blog/sex-and-back-pain monthly 0.5 2022-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/721d9eae-bb24-4d2b-9804-af8bc3f6a58d/passion-5120131.jpg Blog - Sex and back pain - Did you know that there are studies that look into the implications chronic low back pain has on sex?

Then we need to reassess whats going on in between sessions that may be hampering progress - is it your pillow? Your driving postition? I want your care to be both effective and thorough. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/97b1df7d-8f5c-46ad-b03d-fd6ab27bc2d4/anatomy-3003099.jpg Blog - What if you can’t help me? - Scans I might need to refer you for further testing. This could be for an x-ray, MRI, ultrasound, or less commonly a blood test. I can refer you for some private investigations, or I can send my findings to your GP and they can refer you via the NHS pathways. This will help us comfirm/rule out diagnoses and help us decide on the best way forward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/3356b959-48e9-471a-b43d-fb8fe112b5ee/shutterstock_369193787.jpg Blog - What if you can’t help me? - Referral I have links with several other health and fitness professionals in the area, as well as other Chiropractors with different specialities. It may be that you’d benefit from a supervised exercise programme, sports massage, acupuncture, or perhaps I need to refer you to your GP. In some cases I recommend a mixture of care - for example Chiropractic + sports massage, or Chiropractic + exercise referral https://www.gillinghamchiropractic.co.uk/blog/why-does-cold-weather-make-my-joints-hurt monthly 0.5 2021-11-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/121867e4-ef6f-481b-95e5-bf46cec6ab6d/sun-4925768.png Blog - Why does cold weather make my joints hurt? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.gillinghamchiropractic.co.uk/blog/would-you-have-a-ring-dinger monthly 0.5 2021-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1632216609016-OU38RFGNY487N19NPS4M/giphy.gif Blog - Would you have a Ring Dinger? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.gillinghamchiropractic.co.uk/blog/can-i-take-painkillers-before-an-appointment monthly 0.5 2021-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1629364879133-U1QX2CHPR69QDKLQRIJ3/pills.jpeg Blog - Can I take painkillers before an appointment? “I didn’t take painkillers because I didn’t want to make it harder for you to find out what’s wrong.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1629364513840-I6BBC12BIRJKE8F4AMV9/headache-1540220.jpg Blog - Can I take painkillers before an appointment? “I don’t want to mask the problem with painkillers” https://www.gillinghamchiropractic.co.uk/blog/the-headache-roadmap monthly 0.5 2021-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1628173343009-LVQUNB3DUXLT66LL9DHD/Screenshot_20210805_152147.jpg Blog - The Headache Roadmap - Up the neck & side of head This is the most common headache placement we see in the clinic.

Sports tape - What is sports tape? Sports tape is elasticated cotton with an adhesive side that you stick to your skin over the problem area. It comes in a huge variety of colours, patterns, shapes, material and more! I’m a big fan of KT tape - at the clinic I use their pro synthetic water resistant tape which stays on for up to 7 days. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1614687586913-6YX48F64V9VGGMXGRQFO/IMG_20210210_161141.jpg Blog - Not just cracks! Sports tape - What is used for? It is used to support joints, and aid with pain relief and healing. In the clinic I tend to use it for problems such as plantar fasciitis, shoulder pain, tennis elbow and more. I often use sports tape on myself as a quick and easy way to get rid of the knee pain I occasionally get while horse riding (particularly as I am a terrible patient and often forget to do the exercises I need to do to keep my knee happy! The tape enables me to carry on riding pain free). https://www.gillinghamchiropractic.co.uk/blog/what-does-chiropractic-manipulation-feel-like monthly 0.5 2021-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1612342865279-CF4WX6NX14I2H76MDX1H/Screenshot_20210203_085824.jpg Blog - What does Chiropractic manipulation feel like? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1612342866215-BSUAZADMA6EPMN1W9GBW/Screenshot_20210203_085904.jpg Blog - What does Chiropractic manipulation feel like? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1612342867121-D9L2URRI6088PN1MR16F/Screenshot_20210203_085921.jpg Blog - What does Chiropractic manipulation feel like? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1612342867306-85B7F0EAJ83GU96NUQRY/Screenshot_20210203_085942.jpg Blog - What does Chiropractic manipulation feel like? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1612342868667-P310HLVU2LEVMT63JAPL/Screenshot_20210203_090001.jpg Blog - What does Chiropractic manipulation feel like? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1612342865371-KPYGNR1HMB55ADLGR2NI/Screenshot_20210203_085842.jpg Blog - What does Chiropractic manipulation feel like? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1612435608990-87IHTVAPSZWRQ7078VOP/Screenshot_20210204_104529.jpg Blog - What does Chiropractic manipulation feel like? https://www.gillinghamchiropractic.co.uk/blog/2020-round-up monthly 0.5 2020-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1606837405529-1MRV1PQ9YLTVF4TST3H8/image-asset.jpeg Blog - 2020 round up! - Our oldest patient this year so far is 87 years old… …and our youngest is 4 years old! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1606836646414-LS9D353CDNW54DEOKXLY/Gender+%25.jpg Blog - 2020 round up! - For gender we have and almost even split… …with women only just overtaking men! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1606838062810-3PUAGRRPZ07SIHR1RGPK/backpain-1944329.png Blog - 2020 round up! - The most common condition treated was (unsurprisingly) low back pain, closely followed by sciatica… …and the least common diagnosis was Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) which is an uncommon, and still not very well understood neurological chronic pain disorder. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1606836575127-ZDFXDS1518GUUR19T31M/Referral+type.jpg Blog - 2020 round up! - Unsurprisingly the good old fashioned google is how most people find us!

They are our regulatory body - our equivalent of the General Medical Council. We also register with either the British Chiropractic Association (BCA), United Chiropractic Association (UCA) or Scottish Chiropractic Association (SCA) who provide insurance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1599487156189-7X8R0V41HV9XS649ZUSN/brothers-457237.jpg Blog - How to choose the right Chiropractor for you! - Specialities Some chiropractors have specific specialities/interests. For example paediatrics or sports. I enjoy treating a wide range of patients but I tend to refer babies to paediatric specialists. My special interests are geriatrics, jaw pain and headaches (however these are always evolving so feel free to ask me again in the future!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1599487197650-Z5JE0T2PRXDTUNMAHUQC/hands_on_health-109+%281%29.jpg Blog - How to choose the right Chiropractor for you! - Technique There are many different branches of Chiropractic. For example Diversified, McTomoney and Gonstead. I practice Diversified Chiropractic, which includes many different techniques. However if you have seen a chiropractor before that you have got on well with, I often advise finding one that uses the same technique. For example people who have used McTim chiropractors might find diversified chiropractors too firm (although we can tailor our treatments so do let us know what you prefer!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1599487239156-8OG0Z7NTQL8KZI8K8O06/IMG_20180828_101612.jpg Blog - How to choose the right Chiropractor for you! - Looking out for the whole family (fur babies included!) Did you know that to become an animal chiropractor you first have to train to be a human chiropractor? Because of this lots of people, particularly riders choose a chiropractor that can come to them and treat the whole family at once! This can be particularly helpful for equestrians as some will watch you ride and see if there’s anything wrong with your biomechanics that is affecting your horse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1599487289864-8GDCOY44CLFD9XBGG21G/_DSC4739%2Bweb.jpg Blog - How to choose the right Chiropractor for you! - Personality! With most businesses having websites and social media these days, give them a stalk! Do they look like the kind of person you’d get on with? Do they come across as friendly, professional or knowledgable? What do you value in a chiropractor? You can also get a taste for how they run their business, is it in line with your ethics? Do they go for the hard sell? Are you interested in buying a care package or pay as you go? https://www.gillinghamchiropractic.co.uk/blog/what-to-do-when-you-cant-see-your-chiropractor monthly 0.5 2020-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1599495152240-ZL9VPB6NM2V95G960HPA/shutterstock_337043012.jpg Blog - What to do when you can't see your Chiropractor! - Exercise Motion is lotion! The best thing you can do is keep moving, whether its a walk, run, cycle - not forgetting the exercises I will have given you if you’ve seen me already! However do not exercise THROUGH pain. You shoulnd’t have to force it. I have a rule of a little discomfort is fine, but pain is a no! Listen to your body and go easy on yourself if needs be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1599495191319-NPSKL47OYQQZWPKHUIKK/image-asset.jpeg Blog - What to do when you can't see your Chiropractor! - Stretch This goes hand in hand with exercise and is a great thing to add to your daily routine. Again, if you have seen me already I will have given you stretches specific to you. If you want to mix it up or take it a step further, let me know and I will help. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1599495228182-LC2Q6JAUAGYYC28YCD56/dr%2Bgraeme.jpg Blog - What to do when you can't see your Chiropractor! - Treat Yourself This can take many forms, you could rope a loved one in to massage you or help you stretch (feel free to contact me so I can explain how!) Or if you’re unlucky enough not to own one of our massagers yet you can always try using something like a tennis ball to massage the painful area. There are also loads of useful resources out there, for example taping yourself is made really easy with KT tape videos on youtube. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1599495318183-F306RJME8757Y7M9XA2I/doctor-563428.jpg Blog - What to do when you can't see your Chiropractor! - Know when it’s serious For some conditions I tell my patients “red flags” to look out for. These are symptoms that mean your condition has become more serious and needs urgent (A&E) treatment. In my job the main ones I tell people to look out for is changes in bladder or bowel function (e.g. incontinence) and numbness in the genital region. It also helps to know the natural course of your condition.

It should be at a height where your arms can rest comfortably on the desk at about 90°. * Top tip: if an adjustable chair isn’t an option, try rolling up a towel or jumper behind your back to provide some extra support, or you can buy a support to go over your chair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1599565223774-XX36X1CPJOME2HSLLDSW/14-0006011.jpg Blog - The ideal desk position - Feet Your feet should be flat on the floor, if that’s not possible with your chair/desk height, it might be worth considering buying a footstool.

It’s great at relieving pain and improving mobility. A variety of massage techniques are used (both hands on and using specialised equipment!), and we always work within your tolerance so don’t be worried about pain! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1599566022184-XL5MFVSG3MVFZOXRKY6C/image-asset.jpeg Blog - What is involved in a Chiropractic treatment? - Stretching & Exercise Often, Emily will incorporate some stretches during the treatment, and she will give you some exercises that you can do at home to both help yourself get better quicker, and to keep yourself feeling good! In some cases we use dry needling. This can be thought of as the West’s version of acupuncture. Similar to massage, it’s great at relieving pain and loosening tight muscles. Small, sterile needles are inserted into the muscle, sometimes the needles are left to do their work, sometimes they are gently manipulated. It is not a painful treatment, in fact, most people don’t feel the needles! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1599566037251-3DXUVV1NMNX40ICIFP7I/shutterstock_329803406.jpg Blog - What is involved in a Chiropractic treatment? - Dry Needling In some cases we use dry needling.

We call this a neutral spine, & it is the position in which your spine is at it's strongest. Keep your chin tucked, your shoulders down & rock your pelvis forward & backward until you find where the mid point is. *Extra top tip: if you slouch when sitting, find something to support your low back, whether that's a cushion, or ever a rolled up towel or jumper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1599650254397-71GPQUSH5KUE775SYFX5/shutterstock_337043012.jpg Blog - 5 steps to better posture - 2) Move Our bodies weren't built to sit at a desk all day, make sure you get up & move at least every 30 mins - the same goes for driving, pull over, get out & get moving! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1599650283804-WZHP33J4NRM40FO6SK2L/stretching-498256.jpg Blog - 5 steps to better posture - 3) Stretch poor posture causes muscles to shorten & become tight. Good areas to concentrate on are the upper trapezius, pecs, hip flexors, low back & glutes. Make stretching part of your daily routine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1599650330940-AHWCFP0AAEBQRT88DSR2/flower-731300.jpg Blog - 5 steps to better posture - 4) Breathe people with bad posture favour their "accessory muscles" when breathing. To practice diaphragmatic breathing, lie down & place one hand on your chest the other on your stomach. Focus on breathing deeply so that the hand on your stomach moves. *Extra top tip: practice diaphragmatic breathing when you go to bed, it will help you to relax and get into the habit of deep breathing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4e1032ad2f7863f5da7289/1599650391723-HZ61H7QT7GJOYH0ITQHB/people-2604149.jpg Blog - 5 steps to better posture - 5) Strengthen pilates & yoga classes are great for this. Your Chiropractor/physio/personal trainer/etc can also give you exercises specific to your needs. *Extra top tip: exercises worth looking up -> Brugger's relief, pelvic tilt, Glute clams, bird-dog.
