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.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy uses high-powered sound waves to encourage cells to repair themselves. 

Focused Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy uses high-powered sound waves to encourage cells to repair themselves. Shockwaves have been shown to stimulate bone and tendon healing, reduce inflammation and desensitise nerves.

Shockwave therapy is non-invasive, very safe and highly effective. Research has shown success rates of between 70-80%.

Shockwave therapy has been used for over 10 years. Its increasing popularity is due in part to increased positive medical research and recommendations for its use from NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence).

Shockwave Therapy can help with:

  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Shoulder pain
  • Frozen Shoulder
  • Chronic Frozen shoulders
  • Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
  • Biceps Tendinopathy
  • Achilles Tendinopathy
  • Hamstring Pain
  • Patella Tendinopathy
  • Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy
  • Trochanteric Bursitis
  • Sacroiliac pain
  • Tennis elbow

What we offer

At Skelian before we offer Shockwave as a treatment,  we need to see if it is appropriate to your condition. You can make an appointment with one of our trained health care professionals to discuss your health and the problem you need treated. 

We’ll give you a thorough physical exam and once we have the relevant information, the chiropractor or specialist physio will then talk you through the plan to help you achieve your goals. If Shockwave is an appropriate treatment may start during that visit.

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

  • 70-80% effective
  • Fast Treatment
  • Reduce Pain
  • Reduce Inflammation
  • Improve movement
  • Follow up and after care services available

What to expect

The treatment itself is relatively quick and lasts approximately 5-10 minutes. During treatment you should expect to feel some moderate discomfort, however this can be adjusted to suit you.

At Skelian we use a top-quality machine and have highly trained practitioners to help get the best results from the treatment.  

Included in Shockwave session session:

  • Explanation of your diagnosis/condition
  • Reassessment of the condition (follow up treatments)
  • Explanation of how the treatment works and what to expect
