Jamie has been amazing. I was in such constant pain and couldn't do my regular exercise. Each appointment has brought marked improvement - and the emphasis is on fewer treatments not dependency. Highly recommend!

I have just had a 2 stage shoulder revision operation carried out on 5th February & as my arm has been in a sling since April last year my elbow has got very stiff so after seeing my consultant the other week & the physio at the hospital I decided to come to get extra help in between physio appointments. I have seen Will twice now & I can already feel an improvement with the movement & pain, he takes time to listen to any concerns you have & puts you at ease by explaining everything he is going to do. All the receptionists are very nice & always very cheerful even if they are having a bad day. I recommend this is the clinic to choose if you want excellent treatment at a reasonable price with free car parking on site & I have been to a few other clinics in the past but not a welcoming as this one.

After suffering from recent back pain, I have had several massages from Dani. These have helped hugely to relieve the pain and loosen up the muscles to move freely again. Dani takes time to understand the problem history and really put you at ease. As someone who has had back pain on and off over the years and had countless massages treatments, I can confidently say that Dani is very skilled at what she does and has a natural gift for massage.

Really great first ever experience for me at a Chiropractor. Amanda on reception was brilliant with me, whilst waiting for my appointment she chatted and calmly eased my nerves as a first timer. Likewise for Jamie, he made things so easy, explained everything clearly and really made sure I understood the whole process. Genuinely impressed on how they handled the whole process, definitely recommend!

Both me and my husband have received fantastic chiropractic care from Victoria and she is now our 'go-to' chiropractor. Recently, I hobbled in with painful lower back sprain and sciatica, which Victoria fixed in just two sessions. Her attention to detail and care is brilliant, and she has a lovely manner which puts you at ease. I've had chiropractic care before but was really impressed by the service here. Highly recommend Victoria and the team at Skellian.

I went to see Jamie with neck problems which were causing dizziness. After just 3 visits I am feeling much better, my neck feels much more relaxed. Not only has my neck improved but Jamie also found that some of the dizziness may be coming from an ear problem. At the last visit he carried out some manipulation and last night I only had a very short episode of dizziness as I turned over in bed. It is very reassuring to know that I can see Jamie when needed and I will get relief.

Fantastic treatment, can't recommend them enough. Tom helped with my various aches and joint pain from running and also gave me so much advice for my upcoming half marathon. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and very accommodating- helping to sort last minute appointments and change/alter when needed. I have seen a few different chiropractors at the clinic and they have all been very knowledgeable and explained everything so clearly. Tom particularly has been great and got me back out running pain-free.

General Aches and Pains

General aches and pains are common complaints that affect people of all ages. Whether it’s a persistent backache, a nagging headache, or discomfort in the joints, these sensations can significantly impact our daily lives.

Causes of General Aches and Pains

Understanding the underlying causes of aches and pains is crucial for effective management. Below are some common factors.

Stress

Stress affects not only our mental health but also our physical well-being. It can lead to inflammation and heightened sensitivity, resulting in aches and pains.

Dehydration

Proper hydration is essential for normal bodily functions. Dehydration can cause muscle cramps and exacerbate discomfort.

Lack of Sleep

Inadequate sleep makes us more sensitive to pain and worsens existing symptoms. Quality sleep is essential for overall health.

Infections (Cold, Flu, and COVID-19)

Inflammatory responses during infections can lead to generalised aches and pains.

Anemia

Anaemia, characterised by insufficient red blood cells, affects oxygen delivery to tissues and can cause discomfort.

Vitamin D Deficiency

Low vitamin D levels are associated with muscle pain and weakness.

Fibromyalgia

A chronic condition symptoms include widespread pain, fatigue, and tender points in muscles.

Postural Stress

Poor posture can contribute to muscle tension, imbalances, and misalignment, leading to discomfort.

Functional or Strength Imbalances

Imbalances in muscle strength and flexibility can affect movement efficiency and contribute to aches and pains.

Treatments for General Aches and Pains

Effective management involves a holistic approach. Here are evidence-based strategies:

  • Stay Active: Engage in regular physical activity, prioritize tasks, and pace yourself to prevent overexertion.
  • Learn About Pain: Understand the mechanisms behind persistent pain and how it affects your nervous system.
  • Improve Mental Health: Meditation, relaxation techniques, and stress management play a crucial role in pain relief.
  • Optimise Sleep: Prioritise quality sleep to aid tissue repair and hormone release.
  • Chiropractic Care: Chiropractors use manual adjustments to address musculoskeletal issues, promoting better mobility and pain relief.
  • Physiotherapy: Physiotherapists offer exercises, stretches, and techniques to improve strength and flexibility.
