READING CHIROPRACTOR

The World Federation of Chiropractic define chiropractic as, “A health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, and the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health. There is an emphasis on manual treatments including spinal adjustment and other joint and soft-tissue manipulation.”  As your Reading Chiropractor we are the first choice chiropractors in Reading for many people, and we have been serving our community since 2005.

Many research studies have concluded that the types of manual therapies commonly used by chiropractors are generally effective for the treatment of lower back pain, as well as for treatment of lumbar herniated discs for radiculopathy and neck pain, among other conditions.

When patients who have been treated for non-specific, mechanical, chronic low back pain are treated by chiropractors, the long-term outcome is enhanced by obtaining maintenance spinal manipulation after the initial intensive manipulative therapy.

READING OSTEOPATH

The General Osteopathic Council define osteopathy as, “a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. It works with the structure and function of the body and is based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together.”

At Reflex, our team of Reading Osteopaths work to restore your body to a state of balance. Our Osteopaths, in a very similar way to the chiropractors, use a combination of physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase the mobility of joints, to relieve muscle tension, to enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, all in a bid to act as a catalyst in helping your own body to heal, or to speed up the healing of the body. Your Reflex Osteopath may also provide advice on changing posture and exercises to promote recovery.

READING MASSAGE THERAPY

Our team of dedicated Reading massage therapists offer a variety of types of massage therapy. These skilled soft tissue therapists support your chiropractic or osteopathic care, providing remedial massage, sports massage, therapeutic massage or indeed just to chill out and relax!

Many of our guests receive both care from their chiropractor or osteopath and from a massage therapist.  However, we frequently book in New Patients to the centre purely for high quality massage therapy in Reading.

READING FOOT ORTHOTICS

Prescription foot orthotics can help relieve your pain by realigning and stabilising the bones in your feet, restoring your natural walking pattern.  At Reflex Spinal Health we prescribe both pre-made orthotics and prescription orthotics made for each individual by Foothealth UK.  We strongly believe that correct function relies on good biomechanics, from your feet up.  Research suggests that the majority of people would benefit from the use of foot orthotics, which can effect function not only in the foot and ankle, but up the whole kinematic chain of the leg, knee, hip and into the pelvis and spine.

Many of these biomechanics issues are never spotted or diagnosed until they have begun to cause symptoms. When have you ever received a standard biomechanical check? If you have not, or if you are feeling any musculoskeletal signs or symptoms, then please contact us at Reflex Spinal Health in Caversham, Reading. One of our fantastic team of Reading Chiropractors or Reading Osteopaths would be delighted to conduct a new patient consultation and give you our clinical impression. If we deem that we cannot help then we can refer you to who we believe is best placed to help you.
