What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is the third largest primary healthcare profession in the world after Medicine and Dentistry and is regulated by the General Chiropractic Council. Owing to its primary health care status, you do not need a referral from your GP to see a Chiropractor.
Chiropractors specialise in the diagnosis, treatment, management and prevention of disorders of the musculoskeletal system (thats bones, joints and muscles!) as well as the impact these disorders can have on the nervous system and general health.
The Stow Chiropractor takes an evidence based, integrated and holistic approach to health. Providing care and support by reducing pain and disability and by restoring normal function. We also offer advice about self-help, exercise, diet and lifestyle.
Chiropractor’s don't just help with backs either!

What to expect?
Simplicity is key in helping our clients. For this reason we break your experience down into four simple phases:
INITIAL CONSULTATION
Your first visit will take 1 hour. During this time The Stow Chiropractor will begin by taking a detailed history of your complaint, past medical history and ask other questions to help build a clear clinical picture.
This is followed by a comprehensive physical examination to help form both a diagnosis and further care strategy.
If your chiropractor deems it necessary, referral for X-rays or further imaging (MRI, CT or ultrasound scanning), can be arranged through the excellent links with the local Nuffield Orthopaedic centre, or via your GP.
Once your diagnosis and care strategy have been discussed and understood, your questions answered and both client and Chiropractor are happy, treatment will begin.
The Stow Chiropractor provides care from your initial consultation-we don’t delay.
TREATMENT
After your initial consultation and first treatment, subsequent treatment lasts between 15 and 20 minutes. We find this amount of time allows us significant clinical impact on your care. Treatment modalities used include chiropractic manipulation, joint mobilisation, muscle techniques and medical acupuncture. Exercise Rehabilitation and Strength and Conditioning training is also included to aid recovery from injury.
In addition to treating those in pain or discomfort, not all the patients who consult The Stow Chiropractor are in pain. Many are simply curious as to just how good their health can be or how well they can feel.
You may be an individual who values their well-being or you may wish to develop your performance-in any case feel free to drop in for a free 15 minute Q&A appointment to see how chiropractic might help you.

Once good health and well-being has been restored, we offer maintenance care to keep you feeling great and on-top of the day to day stresses our bodies can face. Why?
