Did you know that Victoria West our Senior Chiropractor is now offering Ultrasound Scans at Skelian?

Victoria is both a practising chiropractor and MSK sonographer, meaning she provides insightful scans using ultrasound technology to reveal how your body is handling physical load and identify the specific tissues responsible for your pain and injuries.

Her passion for understanding body biomechanics through chiropractic led her to explore the world of diagnostic ultrasound. She trained at Health Sciences University in Bournemouth and the University of South Wales, and can now diagnose most tendon, ligament, muscle and joint injuries within the limits of ultrasound scanning.

Through her tailored approach, she empowers patients by helping them understand their conditions, and facilitating informed conversations about their treatment options.

The McKenzie Method is a patient-centred, diagnostic and treatment approach developed by Robin McKenzie, a New Zealand physiotherapist, in the 1950s. This method is especially effective in treating sciatica and other spinal conditions.

Read our simple guide in the blog to get you started with McKenzie exercises:

1.) Lumbar Extension
2.) Flexion in Lying - This exercise can help alleviate pain caused by disc bulges.
3.) Prone Press-Up - This exercise can help centralise the pain and relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve.
4.) Lumbar Rotation - This exercise can help improve spinal mobility.

Sciatica can be an agonising condition, but with the right approach and professional guidance, you can find relief and healing.

At Skelian Chiropractic Clinic, our expert practitioners specialise in diagnosing and treating sciatica, tailoring treatment plans to meet your unique needs. If you’re suffering from sciatica or suspect you might be, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Our trusted team is here to help you regain your quality of life and put sciatica behind you for good. Get in touch today and take the first step toward a pain-free future.

A common concern when people come to visit our Skelian Chiropractic Clinic is the type of techniques used during treatment. In this video, Alex, who is a chiropractor at Skelian Chiropractic Clinic in Cheltenham, demonstrates a variety of different techniques used by chiropractors.

For many people, chiropractic treatments are associated with joint manipulation or adjustments. Chiropractors can alter the pressure used during those treatments, but chiropractors do have additional techniques to help their patients.

We are all different, and a good chiropractor will be able to adapt their treatment plan to suit the individual patient. Some patients may have underlying health conditions, and others might simply not like the idea of a classic chiropractic adjustment. These different techniques give the chiropractor options to help the patient with their problem. There are more than just these techniques used by chiropractors throughout the world.

This video features.

Drop technique
Activator technique
Lumbar Flexion distraction

Just a reminder ... that while many are setting New Year's resolutions and signing up for epic challenges (which we love for them!), if that doesn't feel right for you, it could be because we are still in the middle of winter and maybe a little hibernation isn't such a bad thing.

So take a moment to listen to what your body needs and if that is rest, then rest and relish it. If you are filled with energy and feel eager to challenge yourself, then do it! The point is we are all different, so you do you, and be kind to yourself.

Struggling with Back Pain, Hip Pain & Knee Pain can be bad at any time, especially when preparing for a half marathon..... When these issues get in the way of training it can be frustrating. When these injuries start to interfere with day-to-day life, it can become a real
problem.

From being in a lot of pain, to running a personal best. Nat, gives an honest account of her story of pain, treatment, recovery and finding a love for running.

The human body is very complicated and Back Pain does not always come alone. Sometimes it comes with other issues, like Hip Pain & Knee Pain. In some cases, all these issues come at the worst time.

Nat came to Skelian Chiropractic Clinic in Cheltenham, due to having multiple issues that were really getting in the way of life. With lots of pain and being at a loss of what to do with a half marathon only 8 weeks away. She saw Jamie, one of the Chiropractors at Skelian. Having had a full assessment, Jamie was able to identify the key areas that were stopping Nat's recovery and getting in the way of her training.

Once the problem areas were identified and a treatment and recovery plan set in motion by Jamie at Skelian, together they managed to get on top of not just one issue but all three areas.

After following her course of care, Nat was able to not only complete her half marathon but do it with a personal best time, beating her personal record by 15 minutes!

It is a team effort when a patient and a chiropractor work together. The combination of the best or most appropriate treatment, exercises and changes to everyday habits can have a profound impact on the injury or condition. Each case is unique and a different approach must be taken with each patient that comes in looking for help.

At Skelian, we have helped literally thousands of people in and around the Gloucestershire area for more than 20 years. Being one of the highest-awarded clinics in the country for standards and care, we do our very best for our patients and it is fantastic to share one of our many success stories.

If you would like to know more, please leave a comment, send us a DM or call the clinic on 01242 254000.
