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.

Achilles Pain

Achilles pain is a common complaint that brings patients to the Skelian Chiropractic Clinic in Cheltenham. This discomfort can significantly impact daily activities and overall quality of life. Our dedicated team is committed to providing comprehensive care for those suffering from Achilles pain.

Common Causes and Conditions of Achilles Pain

The Achilles tendon, the largest tendon in the body, is susceptible to a variety of injuries and conditions. Common causes of Achilles pain include:

  • Overuse Injuries: Repetitive stress from activities like running or jumping can lead to Achilles tendonitis.
  • Tendon Strain: Sudden increases in activity level can strain the tendon, causing pain and swelling.
  • Tendonosis: Chronic overuse can result in degenerative changes in the tendon fibres.
  • Trauma: Direct injury to the Achilles tendon can cause immediate and severe pain.
  • Biomechanical Issues: Abnormal foot structure or function can put extra stress on the tendon.
  • Medications: Certain antibiotics and steroids have been linked to Achilles tendon issues.

Treatments for Achilles Pain

At Skelian Chiropractic Clinic, we offer a range of treatments tailored to the specific needs of each patient:

  • Rest and Ice: Initial treatment often includes rest and applying ice to reduce inflammation.
  • Chiropractic Adjustments: To improve alignment and reduce stress on the tendon.
  • Physical Therapy: Exercises to strengthen the calf muscles and improve flexibility.
  • Orthotics: Custom shoe inserts to correct biomechanical issues.
  • Shockwave Therapy: Non-invasive treatment to promote healing.
  • Laser Therapy: To reduce pain and inflammation at the cellular level.

Treatment Options for Achilles Pain

In addition to the treatments mentioned above, we also explore:

  • Diagnostic ultrasound:  This form of imaging is offered at the clinic to help accurately identify the cause of the problem.
  • Medication: Anti-inflammatory drugs can be prescribed to reduce pain and swelling.
  • Surgery: In severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to repair the tendon.
