Finding Your Spine’s Happy Place

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms,the Reading chiropractor can help you

Lower back pain, a common yet distressing condition, can put a halt to your daily activities and impact your overall well-being.

• Acute, Sub-acute and chronic low back pain

Acute lower back pain refers to pain that lasts less than 6 weeks

Sub-acute lower back pain is pain that lasts 6-12 weeks

Any lower back pain that lasts longer than 12 weeks is considered chronic pain

• Mechanical Lower back pain

Mechanical lower back pain, often caused by poor posture, muscle imbalances, or overuse, can be a nagging issue that refuses to go away. Chiropractic care focuses on the root cause of the pain, employing spinal adjustments and manipulations to realign the vertebrae and restore proper joint function. By alleviating pressure on nerves and reducing inflammation, chiropractors help the body heal itself, providing you with relief and promoting a healthier back.

• Sciatica

Sciatica, characterized by shooting pain down the leg, can be debilitating. Chiropractors are experts in treating this condition, identifying and correcting misalignments in the spine that may be compressing the sciatic nerve. By easing nerve pressure and promoting better spinal alignment, chiropractic care aims to alleviate the radiating pain of sciatica and help you regain your mobility.

• Slipped disc

A slipped disc, medically known as a herniated disc, can be excruciating and limit your range of motion. Chiropractors use gentle, targeted techniques to carefully adjust the spine, coaxing the slipped disc back into its proper position. This approach reduces pressure on nerves and facilitates the healing process. Chiropractic care for a slipped disc offers a non-invasive alternative to surgery, providing patients with a chance to reclaim their lives without the need for lengthy recovery periods.

• Disc bulge/herniation

A disc bulge, similar to a herniation, can cause radiating pain and discomfort. Chiropractors are skilled in addressing disc-related issues, applying controlled force to the affected area to encourage the disc to retract and minimize irritation to surrounding nerves. By promoting proper alignment and optimal spinal function, chiropractic care can bring much-needed relief to those suffering from disc bulge-related lower back pain.

• Lumbago

Lumbago, often referred to as lower back pain or discomfort, can be effectively managed through chiropractic care. Chiropractors use spinal adjustments and various therapies to relieve muscle tension and restore proper spinal alignment, reducing the intensity and frequency of lumbago episodes.

After many physiotherapy sessions for lower back pain with little improvement, I went to see
David. After only 2 or 3 appointments I could move more freely with reduced pain and now only have slight stiffness, which goes after treatment.
I can now also touch my toes which I could never do before!

I was recommended by a friend a year ago, because I was having back pain after heavy
lifting at work.
I have found this (Chiropractic at the Reading Chiropractor) has helped me recover, and now I have no problems working.
The clinic has always been efficient, professional and friendly.
I would be happy to pass on that sound recommendation to others.

For the past 15 years I have been suffering from lower back pain. After many trips to my GP, x-rays and MRI scans, I was finally diagnosed with Grade 1 Spondylolisthesis. My GP referred me to physiotherapy and he also suggested epidural steroid injections, but neither of them worked long term. Because I was still experiencing episodes of pain, my orthopaedist put me on a waiting list for back surgery.

Few weeks before surgery I was having doubts and I decided to do my own research and look for other options. I found David Woodhouse Dr of Chiropractic online and his positive reviews convinced me to try. After a few visits, I can honestly say that this has been the only thing that has worked. My back pain has been reduced substantially, I can sleep properly again and I even started exercising. I am very grateful that I have found an easier option to surgery and I advice everyone to try

I had severe pain in my lower back and down my left leg into my foot. After visiting Reading Chiropractic once i had much improvement. After my second visit a few days later i was free of all pain. I was given a walking plan and that really helped to improve movement.
