Your Worminghall Chiropractor for Back & Neck Pain

A chiropractor assesses how your spine and joints are moving, finds the areas that have stiffened or become irritated, and uses controlled hands-on techniques to restore that movement. The aim is to take the strain off the tissues that have been compensating, which is usually what has been generating the pain.

Most people find it comfortable and describe relief rather than pain. If an area is already inflamed it can feel tender for a day or two afterwards, in the same way that exercise does. We tell you what to expect before we do anything, and we adjust the technique if you would prefer something gentler.

It depends entirely on how long the problem has been there and what is causing it. Recent, straightforward back pain often settles in a handful of sessions. Something you have carried for years takes longer. We give you an honest estimate after the first assessment and reassess as we go rather than committing you to a fixed block up front.

No. You can book directly with our Oxfordshire chiropractic clinic. If we think your problem is better handled by someone else, or that imaging is worth arranging first, we will tell you and help you take the next step.

Frequently, yes. Headaches that start at the base of the skull, sit behind the eyes or build through the working day often trace back to restriction in the upper neck. Addressing that restriction tends to reduce both how often they arrive and how hard they hit.

Yes. Techniques and positioning are adapted throughout, and we use specialist support so you are never lying awkwardly. Pregnancy-related lower back and pelvic pain is one of the most common reasons people come to see us.

Something you can move comfortably in. Leggings, joggers or a loose t-shirt are ideal. You will not need to change into a gown, and we will always explain what we are doing before we do it.

Many people notice a change in movement after the first session, even if the pain itself takes a little longer to settle. Longstanding problems improve in steps rather than all at once, so we track how you are doing between visits and adjust the plan around it.

No. A good share of our patients arrive with stiffness rather than pain, or because something has gradually become harder than it used to be. Those are easier to treat than an acute injury, not harder.

Often, yes, and it is a common request from families in the nearer villages. Ring the clinic rather than booking online for that and we will work something out.
