Conditions we treat
Spinal manipulation / mobilisation has been shown to be effective in adults by the 2010 report, by Professor Gert Bronfort entitled 'Effectiveness of Manual Therapies’ for a number of painful conditions including acute, subacute, and chronic low back pain; for migraine prevention and cervicogenic headache, and a number of upper and lower extremity joint conditions. Thoracic spinal manipulation/mobilisation is effective for acute/subacute neck pain, and, when combined with exercise, cervical spinal /manipulation is effective for chronic neck pain.
