Over The Hill?

As a McTimoney Chiropractor, I see all kinds of people of various ages. One phrase I seem to hear with disturbing frequency is “it’s to be expected at my age” and this from people as young as 40.

Excuse me while I climb onto my soapbox but I feel passionately about this.

You are not over the hill at 40 or 50, 60, 70 for that matter. No one should expect to be in pain and discomfort. Aches and pains are not inevitable and there is something you can do about it.

Prevention is better than cure. We all know that there are things we can do to prevent problems in the future. But there are many smaller things, such as the way we sit or repetitive actions of daily life that can cause sometimes severe discomfort and yet are easy to rectify when the cause is identified.

Pain is your body’s way of telling you that something is wrong. Aching joints are an indication that something is wrong. The right postural advice, exercises and physical manipulation can have a profound effect on these ailments, reducing symptoms significantly and preventing deterioration.

McTimoney Chiropractic is a gentle and effective treatment for many common complaints, including:

•       back, neck and shoulder pain

•       Pain, discomfort and stiffness in joints

•       Migraine and headaches

•       Muscular aches

•       Sports injuries

•       Arthritic pain

A McTimoney Chiropractor will identify and adjust any misalignments present, while also discussing your lifestyle and daily activities that may be causing the problem. It is a partnership between you and your therapist to enable you to reduce your symptoms and prevent further problems.

Throughout November I will be offering free, no obligation, consultations on Mondays at the London Road Clinic, Milborne Port. You can come and have a chat about your symptoms, have a chiropractic assessment and get some good advice on ways you can help yourself.
