Conditions We Help at Crossgates, Rothwell, and Colton Chiropractic Clinics
Pain can be annoying. It disrupts sleep, alters movement, and may turn everyday tasks, such as lifting the kettle or checking your blind spot, into problems. A chiropractic assessment looks at how your joints, muscles, and nerves are working together, then links those findings to what you’re feeling day to day. The goal is clear: improve movement, reduce strain, and help you stay active, whether that’s the school run, the gym, or long walks around Leeds.
- Lower Back Pain and Stiffness: Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care. Sometimes it starts suddenly after a twist or lift; other times it builds slowly from long hours sitting or repeated strain. By checking spinal motion, muscle tension, and how your body is compensating, our chiropractor can create a plan that aims to ease discomfort and improve function over time.
- Neck Pain, Tension, and Headaches: Neck pain may show up as a tight, heavy feeling across the shoulders, or a sharp restriction when you turn your head. Restrictions in the spine and tension in surrounding muscles may contribute. Headaches can also be linked to the neck and, in some cases, the jaw when joints and muscles are triggering symptoms. An assessment helps determine whether your headaches may be cervicogenic and which factors may be contributing.
- Sciatica and Referred Nerve Pain: Sciatica often feels like pain, tingling, or burning that travels from the lower back into the buttock or leg. A chiropractic assessment may help determine whether irritation or compression around the spine may be contributing, and which movements or loads are keeping it going.
- Pregnancy-Related Back and Pelvic Discomfort: Pregnancy can affect posture, joint loading, muscular tension and pelvic mechanics. Chiropractic care focuses on improving range of movement, and pelvic mechanics using gentle, safe and effective techniques to ensure the body is functioning optimally during pregnancy, birth and into postpartum. Chiropractic Care is adapted to each individual taking into account the differing stages of pregnancy. One good example would be the use of a pregnancy pillow to allow patients to lie comfortably on their front if required for treatment. Care is adjusted to make you and your baby as comfortable as possible.
- Arthritic Joint Pain and Everyday Mobility: Arthritis can limit movement and lead to muscle guarding and compensation elsewhere. Depending on the severity and which joint is affected, chiropractic care may focus on improving mobility where appropriate and easing the muscle tension that often accompanies it.
