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.

I had one appointment with Jamie after suffering tremendous pain and he totally relieved the pain, allowing me to carry on with my life as normally as possible with my ongoing back weakness. I would highly recommend him to anyone and would totally trust him to help me again in the future.

Tom has been great right from the start. From listening to me and everything I had to tell him in our first meeting. Taking me and my previous (less good) experience with chiropractors into account and seriously considering why I was there. He helped me, that first time and has done for the number of sessions I've had since. He answers all my nerdy, analytical questions and adapts to me as I need him to. He's also not a snake oil salesman, talking himself out of the possibility of a job within the first month if I found I no longer needed him. None of this "oh, look, another problem I'll need to see you for" malarkey. Tom has been honest and so helpful every time. The reception staff at Skelian are lovely, the atmosphere is nice, and whilst not cheap I have never felt swindled. Only understood, because back pain is a universal suffering we can all sympathise with. Couldn't recommend them and Tom more. And I'll soon be in maintenance, somewhere I never thought I'd get to when all this started in February.

I have been seeing Jamie for the last couple of months, and absolutely can’t recommend him enough. I love his holistic approach and looking at the bigger picture to try and piece together the reasons why my neck and hips are so painful. I always feel anxious when having to go to someone different when it comes to my health, but Jamie is so kind, friendly and understanding of people and how they are feeling. We have had some great results so far with my treatment and feel we are making some headway with all my aches and pains. If you are feeling nervous and not sure what to expect, Jamie is the guy for you.

I recently had a sports massage with Brad, due to extended periods of computer use, I suffer with neck and shoulder tension. Brad was able to work out all the knots in my back and shoulders. I have definitively felt the benefits ever since.

Knee Pain

Knee pain is a common ailment that can arise from a wide array of conditions. It can affect individuals of all ages and can significantly impact one’s quality of life. Understanding the various causes and treatment options is crucial for effective management and relief.

About Knee Pain

Knee pain can manifest in many forms, from a dull, constant ache to sharp, acute pain that prohibits movement. It may be localised to a specific area of the knee or be diffused throughout the joint.

Conditions That Cause Knee Pain

  • Arthritis: Including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis.
    Injuries: Such as ACL injuries, fractures, and tears of the meniscus.
  • Mechanical Problems: Like patellar tracking disorder and loose bodies within the joint.
  • Inflammatory Conditions: Including bursitis, tendinitis, and Baker’s cyst.
  • Infections: Such as septic arthritis.
  • Degenerative Changes: Resulting from age or overuse.
  • Metabolic Disorders: Like gout, which can cause uric acid crystals to accumulate in the joint.
  • Structural Abnormalities: Such as genu valgum (knock-knees) or genu varum (bowlegs).
  • Growth-Related Issues: Osgood-Schlatter disease and Sinding-Larsen-Johansson syndrome, are typically seen in adolescents.
  • Referred Pain: From the hips, lower back, or other areas that can cause discomfort in the knee.

Diagnosing  Knee Pain

The treatment for knee pain is dependent on the underlying cause.  We offer diagnostic ultrasound at Skelian Clinic. This form of imaging is used to help accurately identify the cause of the problem.

Treatment Options for Knee Pain

  • Manual therapies: Such as massage, chiropractic care and physiotherapy use hands-on techniques to help with symptoms. 
  • Medications: Analgesics, NSAIDs, and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) for certain types of arthritis.
  • Physiotherapy: Strengthening and flexibility exercises, ultrasound, and heat therapy.
  • Injections: Including corticosteroids and hyaluronic acid injections. Both options are available in house at Skelian in Cheltenham.
  • Surgery: Arthroscopy, osteotomy, and joint replacement may be considered for severe cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Remember, it’s important to consult with a physiotherapist at Skelian in Cheltenham or a relevant healthcare provider if you’re experiencing wrist pain. They can provide a proper diagnosis and guide you through the appropriate treatment options.
