Google Reviews

I have been visiting Mel for 7 years and would highly recommend her. I initially visited Mel to help solve repeated neck pain. Mel’s treatment quickly solved the issue and I now visit Mel once every 2-3 months for check ups and treatment. Mel is always kind and caring, and as well as providing excellent treatment we have a good chat. Mel always asks about my family and answers all of my back related questions (of which I have many!). The new treatment rooms are amazing and I would definitely recommend you visit Mel! Would give more than 5 stars if I could!

Back Pain

Some of the most common problems we treat are: generalised lower back pain, sacroiliac pain, buttock / gluteal and piriformis pain, sciatica hip pain, leg pain & or weakness / tingling. Also reduced movement in these areas. However, back pain is probably the most common reason people seek help from a chiropractor. Pain is a warning sign that tells us that something is wrong. There can be various causes of back pain such as poor posture, repetitive actions at work or play, trauma, stress or illness, serious underlying problems or referred pain from organs. Chiropractors are trained to identify the problem, provide a diagnosis and, if appropriate, recommend a plan of care. This may involve, massage, mobilisation, manipulation and sometimes acupuncture. We routinely advise about long-term solutions and self help such as posture and lifestyle, ergonomics, exercise and stretches.

 

Chiropractors have a highly tuned and trained sense of touch and spend many years perfecting the art of locating and correcting misalignments of the vertebrae and joints in the body.

We can advise on relevant medication but not prescribe.

 

Chiropractic, is a primary care health profession so you do not need a GP referral.

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Epley Manoeuvre

Melanie is qualified to perform the Epley manoeuvre. This is used to treat BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo). This is largely recognised by dizziness on movement of the head (creating movement in the ear). This condition is caused by free-floating particles entering the semicircular ear canal. The manoeuvre uses gravity and movements of the head to relocate the particles back to the utricle where they do not stimulate the cupula, thereby stopping the vertigo.

This treatment can be done within a standard treatment or as a stand-alone treatment.
