A Holistic and Evidence-Informed Approached

Care is tailored to the individual and reviewed regularly, considering clinical findings, response to care and wider lifestyle factors. Where appropriate, referral to or collaboration with other healthcare professionals is recommended.

Assessment is thorough and patient centred. It includes a detailed case history, physical examination, postural and movement analysis, and appropriate orthopaedic and neurological testing. Manual muscle testing is used as part of the assessment process. Manual muscle testing is a functional tool used to observe neuromuscular responses and muscle activation patterns.

Applied Kinesiology integrates manual muscle testing with standard chiropractic assessment methods to support clinical reasoning and help guide individualised care. These approaches are used alongside, not instead of, established chiropractic examination procedures and are not used to diagnose medical conditions.

Our aim is to support function, movement and overall wellbeing within the scope of chiropractic practice and current UK regulatory standards.

Musculoskeletal Conditions

We work with conditions involving the muscles, joints, spine and connective tissues, with the aim of supporting mobility, reducing discomfort and improving functional movement.

• Back pain (cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine)
• Neck pain and restricted movement
• Shoulder conditions including rotator cuff dysfunction.
• Hip and knee pain
• Sciatica and referred leg pain
• Brachial plexus referred on pain
• Trigeminal nerve referred pain
• Disc-related conditions (including disc bulge or herniation)
• Joint stiffness and reduced range of motion
• Muscle tension, tightness and imbalance
• Sports and exercise-related injuries such tennis elbow and elbow pain
• Repetitive strain injuries 
• Degenerative or arthritic joint changes
• Pelvic and sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
• Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction
   

Neurological & Nerve-Related Presentations

Some symptoms are linked to irritation, compression or altered function of the nervous system. Chiropractic care focuses on supporting spinal health and neuromuscular function.

• Headaches, including tension-type headaches
• Migraines
• Neuropathic pain (burning, shooting or sharp sensations)
• Pins and needles, numbness or altered sensation
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Thoracic outlet syndrome
• Radicular pain: symptoms radiating into the arms or legs such as brachial plexus and trigeminal nerve referred pain
• Balance or coordination difficulties
• Post-concussion support
• Chronic pain with a neurological component
   

Postural, Functional & Lifestyle-Related Concerns

We recognise the influence of posture, movement habits, work demands and stress on both the musculoskeletal and nervous systems.

• Postural dysfunction (desk work, prolonged sitting or standing)
• Work-related musculoskeletal pain
• Stress-related muscle tension
• Recurrent or persistent pain patterns
• Reduced flexibility, mobility or confidence in movement
• Sleep disturbance linked to pain or discomfort
   

We Can Help

If you’re experiencing ongoing pain, tension, or postural changes, don’t ignore your body’s protective signals. Address the root cause before compensation becomes long-term damage.
