About us

About Roundhay Chiropractic Clinic

Here at Roundhay Chiropractic Clinic, we are a team of chiropractors, specialising in the diagnosis, treatment and management of neuro-musculoskeletal (ie: nerve, muscle and bone) conditions that arise due to mechanical dysfunction (lack of normal movement) of any joint or muscle in the body.

Treatment is achieved by applying specific chiropractic manipulations to the affected joints. These adjustments are done by hand and allow the joints to move more freely. This helps relieve muscle spasms and reduces nerve irritation. Trigger point therapy is also utilised to further relax the muscle spasm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chiropractic works by removing interference and irritation of the nervous system, thus allowing your own “innate” powers of healing to heal your body. A common cause of irritation to the nervous system is the spinal column ie. your vertebrae. Your chiropractor will remove this irritation using their hands to perform spinal manipulations to the involved area.
The noise is caused when the joint is quickly moved apart and a gas bubble is forced through the joint membrane. The gasses will travel back through the membrane over the next 20 minutes or so. This is why when people crack their knuckles, they are unable to do it again for about 20 minutes. It is most definitely not your bones grating against each other or, worse still, them breaking.
Chiropractic treatment is suitable for everyone. Once your chiropractor has decided that chiropractic is the correct treatment for your problem, then they will modify their treatment to suit you. Treatment is suitable for any age group including babies, teenagers and pregnant women all of whom can be successfully helped.
Historically chiropractors work on the nervous system and an osteopath works on the bones to have an effect. However, you cannot work on one without working on the other. From a patient’s treatment perspective, they are not dissimilar. The main differences are that chiropractors perform rapid manipulations to joints, which are not moving as much as they should do, whereas osteopaths perform slower, repetitive mobilisations to encourage greater movement within the region. Also, chiropractors are qualified to take and interpret x-rays but osteopaths are not.
X-rays will only be taken when they are clinically indicated usually at the end of your initial consultation however, you will be reassessed throughout your treatment plan and if progress isn’t as expected we may recommend x-rays are performed at a later date. If they are needed, then they will be taken there and then by your chiropractor. No treatment will be given as your x-rays will need to be interpreted and your treatment possibly modified as a result of the analysis. You will be asked to return within 48 hours to discuss your x-rays and any follow-up treatment. If you have had x-rays, CT/MRI scan within the last six months then it would be beneficial for yourself and your chiropractor to have a copy of this report. This can easily be requested from your GP before your initial consultation.
Chiropractic treatment works on the nervous system, which is not under your conscious control. This is the reason that babies are able to respond to care just as well as adults. Therefore, whether or not you believe in it does not matter, as if chiropractic treatment is deemed suitable for your condition then it will definitely help.
