In most cases, no. When you have a misalignment in your spine, it may or may not hurt. It usually doesn’t. Often a misalignment will lie just under the surface much like a dental cavity creating a problem but going unnoticed until it causes pain. This explains why people will be showering their hair or picking something off the floor and ‘all of a sudden’ their back goes ‘out’ or they experience sudden neck ache.

As every body is unique this is very difficult to answer until you have been examined. It also depends on what you mean by ‘better’. Most people mean ‘how long before I’m out of pain?’ Pain can start to reduce right from the very first treatment or may take several sessions. At the Healthcare Clinics our initial objective is to relieve the pain. The longer you have had a problem, and the poorer your general condition and health, the longer it will take. The longer you leave a problem the more attention will be required to rectify it.

Definitely! Conditions such as these often place extra stress and tensions on the spine and tissues. To leave this extra stress unchecked leads to further problems in other areas. The chiropractor takes all of these factors into account to insure your spine is kept in peak condition.

Only if you want to, or if you need a referral letter for private medical cover. We may, with your permission send a report to your GP to keep your medical records up to date.

How long you decide to benefit from chiropractic care is always up to you.

Both the Healthcare clinics have free parking nearby. In Hayes it is at the rear of the building. In Watford there is off-road parking in front of the clinic and parking down the side of the clinic in Kilby Close.

Receiving chiropractic care is a necessary part of being healthy, which in turn means preventing disease. Just like a balanced diet and being active, chiropractic care allows you to reach your full health potential. Everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, should eat well, remain active and have a healthy spine. Whether you have a specific problem or not, your spine needs to be checked to remain healthy. As Hippocrates said, “You are only as healthy as your spine.” You have regular dental check-ups, so why not your spine. Remember, your teeth can be replaced, your spine cannot!

If you have any misalignments, it is very important that you have them corrected. Your chiropractor will gently adjust your vertebrae back into alignment, allowing your body to start healing itself.

Each adjustment is tailored individually to suit each patient based on their age and misalignment. Young patients are adjusted differently to adults and elderly patients are adjusted differently again.

A chiropractor checks your spine to see if you have any misalignments. Your spine is meant to be in line. When you have a misalignment, your spinal bones create havoc with your nervous system. This havoc and interference disturbs the mental impulses flowing from your brain to your body and body back to your brain. Your brain then can no longer keep the body healthy due to this interference. As a resul this can cause lack of vitality, weakened immune system, arthritis and other diseases.

Chiropractic is one of the safest health professions in the world. Your chiropractor will do a complete examination and take x-rays to determine if there is any reason why you can’t be helped through chiropractic care.
