It’s that time of year again. A time in which family members are thrust together, in a room for 4-6 hours and asked for their differences to be put aside and just ‘get along’. Christmas. A season of peace, love, and joy? Danger lurks for the unprepared, and so, in the spirit of Christmas giving, […]
We Chiropractors love to ‘show and tell’ our patients everything we have found that is causing the symptoms (usually pain somewhere!)

It was 1998 when I first graduated from the Anglo European College of Chiropractic. As a first year graduate, I was keen to make an impression –make my mark on the world of back pain. It was exciting (and still is today) seeing new patients with varying degrees of back pain or other joint issues. […]
