How can chiropractic treatment help alleviate headaches?
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has defined the structures responsible for headaches they include:
- The Neck
- The Scalp Muscles
- The Brain Covering Sheath
Dr Louis explains, “chiropractors will use a variety of specific manipulation or adjustment techniques in order to stretch, relax, mobilise the neck joints, strengthen the neck muscles and remove any spinal irritation or tension.”

Eating to beat stress
Chronic stress can have a negative effect on our physical health as well as our mental wellbeing. It can play a role in our susceptibility to illness and disease, but also in day-to-day functional problems such as pain and stiffness.
There are of course many steps we can take to improve our ability to cope with stress. Today we are focusing on the role of nutrition – what and how to eat to better manage stress...

Avoiding back pain whilst on the road
Many drivers don’t realise that the back pain or a stiff neck may primarily be caused by bad driving habits, although you might not always feel it while you’re on the road! Pain and stiffness in the lower back and neck is often due to irritation of the spinal joints. Please make a conscious effort to improve your driving posture.. your back will thank you for it!

Calf injuries
Calf muscle tears get more common as we get older due to the loss of elasticity in our muscles and tendons. Soft tissue injuries get more common if you over train a certain structure and eventually it breaks. Often injuries can start with micro-tears in the calf muscle and achilles tendon and this in turn can result in a to a complete tear. Here are some tips on how to prevent calf injuries
