👉 Chronic pain doesn’t have to define you.

Chronic pain is very real and shouldn’t be swept aside just because there’s no obvious cause or musculoskeletal damage. It reflects complex changes in the body and brain.

People often benefit from a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, combining medical, physical, and psychological strategies, tailored to what works best for them.

With chiropractic and massage treatment at the clinic, we can:

🟢 Assess and diagnose what’s contributing to your pain

🟢 Use hands-on treatment to restore movement and joint function

🟢 Offer technological therapies where appropriate

🟢 Provide specific exercises to rebuild strength and movement

🟢 Address lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, diet, and mindset

We support patients with all kinds of pain and injury.

To see if we can help you, give us a call on 01242 805851.

Genius = an exceptionally intelligent person or one with exceptional skill in a particular area of activity.

In this instance, I think it's safe to say that this comment relates to the skill of our practitioners, rather than exceptional intelligence 😆

It it our goal to help patients out of pain, and to dig deep to find the root cause of the problem and address it. This is always the hard bit, treating the pain is easy.

Do you know your T-score?

A T-score between -1 and -2.5 on a bone density scan indicates your bone density is lower than normal and is termed as osteopenia. This is seen as a precursor to osteoporosis.

Knowing and understanding your T-score means you can take control of your bone health.

To check your bone density with a radiation-free test, book your scan with us in Cheltenham. Friday 1st August.

☀️Flip Flops and Flats - great for the sunshine☀️but not so great for the body!

Here’s why:

Our feet are our foundations and help to keep our body in alignment. With no arch or heel support, the foot can roll over as we walk or stand, producing a rotational effect up the leg. In flip flops we also grip with our toes unnaturally every step. These actions alter the biomechanics and distribution of pressure across the foot and up the legs.

This adverse pressure is runs through the ankle and knee joints and may even tilt the hip, extending the effects up to the shoulders and neck.

Advice:

👣 Wear flip flops and dead flats in moderation

👣Avoid prolonged periods of standing or walking in both flip flops and flat shoes

👣Ideally choose shoes with a supportive footbed (such as Birkenstock, Archie’s Footwear, Vionic and numerous quality brands of trainers)

👣Rotate your shoes to avoid flats every day

👣Purchase molded insoles for your flat shoes

Look after your feet and they will look after you!

We promote a preventative and proactive model of health, as championed here by the British Chiropractic Association.

Using a combined treatment approach (hands on treatment and cutting edge technology) we help patients to live better, not just longer.

We’re living longer than ever before. But are we living better?
While life expectancy increases, healthspan—the years we live in good health—is shrinking.

Our current healthcare model is built for crisis management, not prevention. It waits for disease instead of working to prevent it. And it rarely addresses the underlying causes: inflammation, stress, lifestyle mismatch, and system breakdown.

Chronic inflammation has become the hidden engine behind many of today’s most common diseases - from arthritis to Alzheimer's. But this isn’t inevitable. It’s a response to modern living: ultra-processed diets, sedentary routines, disrupted sleep, and chronic stress.

Here’s where chiropractic enters the conversation.

As a profession rooted in whole-person, neuro-musculoskeletal health, chiropractic is uniquely positioned to lead the lifestyle and longevity revolution.

Chiropractors:

◾Address root causes, not just symptoms
◾Help patients manage stress and inflammation
◾Support nervous system regulation
◾Guide sustainable lifestyle changes
◾Collaborate across disciplines for whole-person care

Chiropractic care isn’t just for back pain, it’s a preventative, proactive model of health. It helps people thrive, not just survive.

In this new Knowledge Hub article, Dr Faye Deane, explores the intersection between longevity science, lifestyle medicine, and chiropractic practice, with emphasis on inflammation, the gut-brain axis, and the evolving role of chiropractors in public health.
