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.

Minor Sports Injuries

Minor sports injuries come in all shapes and sizes and can affect anyone playing sports or generally being active. Different parts of the body can be involved depending on the area of the body injured. In this article we look at symptoms, causes and treatment options. 

About Minor Sports Injuries

A minor sports injury can happen for many reasons: from a specific incident, for example, falling off a horse; or it can build up over time, caused by poor technique, a lack of strength or activation in a key muscle group resulting in overuse or a repetitive strain of the supportive muscles. 

A minor sports injury can happen when an athlete competes at a high level but it can also happen when you are running to catch the bus. Our practitioners can help you get back on track through a range of modalities, including manual therapy, joint mobilisation, kinesiology taping, dry needling, sports massage and a rehab programme.  

Conditions we treat

  • Shoulder sprains (rotator cuff injuries)
  • Elbow pain
  • Groin strain
  • Hamstring strain
  • Knee pain (runner’s knee)
  • Shin splints
  • Achilles tendon problems
  • Ankle sprains
  • Muscle strain
  • Ligament strain

What we offer

Our practitioners can help you get back on track through a range of modalities, including manual therapies, joint mobilisation, Shockwave Therapy, Myofascial release, soft tissue work, dry needling, kinesiology taping and sports massage.  

At Skelian, we have a Sports Specialist Chiropractor (Alex Broomsgrove). Alongside our chiropractic services, we also have our Sports Therapist (Dani Cowley) for massage and sports rehabilitation. If imaging is needed we have our Specialist Physiotherapist (Jonathan Wride) for diagnostic ultrasounds and injection services. 

The first step is to book an initial consultation with one of our dedicated team: our Chiropractors, Sports Therapist or Specialist Physiotherapist so they can carry out a thorough assessment and determine what the injury is and how best to treat it. The patient is at the core of all treatment programmes, and aspects such as nutrition, lifestyle, work and home demands are also taken into consideration when our practitioners plan your individual treatment and rehab programme.  

In some cases, diagnostic imaging may be recommended, and we have a specialist physiotherapist, Jonathan Wride, who performs diagnostic ultrasound scans and injection therapies. We are also able to refer our patients for private MRIs and X-rays if required. 

We are always on hand to answer any queries you may have before, during or after your treatment.

Benefits

What to expect
