MYTH: “Chiropractors just crack backs.”
TRUTH: That “crack” isn’t bones grinding or anything “going back in.” It’s usually a small pressure release in the joint — like cracking your knuckles.

But here’s the thing: chiropractic care isn’t about chasing noises.
At our Colchester clinic, it’s about helping you move better, feel better, and stay confident in your body.

✅ What we actually do:
• Proper history + assessment (we don’t guess)
• Explain what’s going on in plain English
• A plan that fits you — which may include:
• gentle joint work (with or without a “crack”)
• soft tissue therapy
• rehab exercises + posture advice
• simple lifestyle changes to keep results longer

Nervous about the crack?
You’re not alone — and you’ve got options. We can use gentler, low-force approaches when appropriate. You’re always in control.

NECK PAIN AGAIN? 😩
If your neck feels tight, achy, or “stuck” after desk work, scrolling, or driving… you’re not alone.

Here’s how chiropractic can help with neck pain (without relying only on painkillers 💊 )

Improves joint movement
When neck joints aren’t moving well, surrounding muscles often tighten to “guard” the area. Chiropractic care helps restore healthier movement.

Reduces muscle tension + spasm
Gentle hands-on treatment can calm overactive muscles and reduce that constant tight, knotted feeling.

Supports posture and daily habits
A lot of neck pain is repetitive strain (screens, laptops, pillows, stress). Chiropractic doesn’t just treat symptoms — it helps address the patterns driving it.

Helps with headaches linked to the neck
Many headaches start from neck tension and irritation (often called cervicogenic headaches). When the neck improves, headaches often improve too.

Gives you a plan, not just a quick fix
The best results come from combining treatment with simple rehab: mobility drills, strengthening, and workstation tweaks.

Quick test:
Can you rotate your head left and right equally? If one side feels restricted or painful, that’s a common sign your neck is not moving as well as it should.

Want help figuring out what’s actually causing your neck pain?

DM “NECK” and I’ll tell you the first step we’d take in clinic.

Lower back pain doesn’t just “hurt”… it steals your movement. 🧍‍♂️⚡️
If you feel stiff getting out of the car, can’t bend comfortably, or avoid certain movements altogether—this is for you.

When your lower back is irritated, your body automatically guards:
✅ muscles tighten
✅ joints get “stuck”
✅ your movement gets smaller and more cautious
…and mobility drops fast.

How chiropractic can help improve mobility (when lower back pain is involved):
1) Restores joint motion
Restricted spinal and pelvic joints can reduce how well you move. Improving motion can help you bend, twist, and walk more freely.

2) Calms protective muscle tightness
When pain decreases, the body often stops bracing as much—so you can move with less stiffness.

3) Improves how you move day-to-day
Chiropractic isn’t just “crack and go.” The goal is better function—pairing hands-on care with advice/exercises so movement feels safer again.

4) Helps you return to activities you’ve avoided
Better mobility = easier workouts, easier walks, easier life.

Quick mobility check:
Can you hinge at the hips (like a deadlift) without your back doing all the work?
If not, your back may be overcompensating—and that often equals stiffness + flare-ups.

Want help improving your mobility (and not just “coping” with back pain)?
Comment “MOBILITY” and I’ll send you a simple 2-minute routine to try today. 👇

“Stop scrolling—do this now”

Your body called. It wants a reset.

Try this 30-second posture reset (do it with me):
1. Stand tall, feet hip-width
2. Chin tuck (like making a double chin) x 5 slow reps
3. Shoulders down + back (don’t flare ribs) x 5 breaths
4. Squeeze glutes gently for 10 seconds

If your neck/upper back feels tight after that… you’re not alone.
That tightness is often your body’s “I’ve had enough desk time” signal.

Want help making it stick? We’ll assess what’s driving the tension and build a simple plan to keep you moving.

Is lower back pain slowing you down?

Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people in the UK see a healthcare professional – and it can impact everything from work to sleep to family time.

At Bateman Chiropractic Clinic, we focus on drug-free, hands-on care to help you move more comfortably and confidently.

Here’s how chiropractic care may help with lower back pain:

1. Thorough assessment
We start with a detailed case history, posture check and orthopaedic/neurological tests. This helps us understand what’s driving your pain and whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you.

2. Tailored treatment plan
If chiropractic care is suitable, we create a plan specific to you. This may include:
• Spinal adjustments or joint mobilisation
• Soft tissue techniques
• Exercise and rehab advice
• Posture and lifestyle guidance

3. Focus on function, not just pain
Our aim is to help:
• Reduce pain and stiffness
• Improve movement
• Support you in returning to your normal activities

4. Evidence-informed & collaborative
We follow current UK guidance and, where appropriate, can work alongside your GP or other healthcare professionals.

If you’re experiencing persistent or recurring lower back pain, you don’t have to just “put up with it”.

FRIDAY BODY STATUS: “It’s… complicated” 🫠

By Friday, your body usually falls into one of three camps:

1️⃣ “I’m fine.” (…says the person who groans every time they stand up)
2️⃣ “Bit tight, but I’ll survive.”
3️⃣ “If I drop something on the floor, it now belongs to the floor.”

Here’s the thing 👇
Your spine doesn’t suddenly “go bad” overnight.
All week you’ve been:
• Sitting too long
• Rushing around
• Sleeping weird
• Saying “I’ll sort it next week”

3 little check-ins for your Friday:

✅ Can you turn your head comfortably to shoulder-check?
✅ Can you touch your toes without your hamstrings screaming?
✅ Can you sit upright for 60 seconds without fidgeting?

If you answered “no” (or laughed because you didn’t dare try)…
that’s your body quietly waving a 🚩 before it turns into a full-on emergency.

Chiropractic isn’t just for when you’re broken.
It’s to keep you moving well so you can actually enjoy your weekend – not just recover from your week.

👇 Drop a “🧠” in the comments if your body feels older than your birth certificate says.
I’ll send you a message with how we can help you hit Monday feeling less “ouch” and more “let’s go”.

Wednesday Tip 💥
Your posture is your superpower.

Most of us spend HOURS sitting – at the desk, in the car, on the sofa. When you stay stuck in one position, your joints stiffen, your muscles switch off, and your spine takes all the load. That’s when niggles turn into aches… and aches turn into full-on pain.

Today, once every hour:
✅ Stand up from your chair
✅ Roll your shoulders back & down
✅ Gently tuck your chin (double-chin style)
✅ Take 3 slow deep breaths
✅ Walk for 30–60 seconds

These micro-movements keep your joints lubricated, your muscles activated and your nervous system happy. Little and often beats “hammering it” once a week at the gym.

Your future self (and your spine) will thank you.

🧠 “Just a headache”… or something more?

If you’re in Colchester and finding headaches are becoming a regular part of your week, you’re not alone.

Headaches can be triggered by:
• Long hours at a desk 💻
• Poor posture and neck tension
• Stress and lack of sleep
• Dehydration or skipped meals

Over time they can:
• Drain your energy and focus
• Affect work, family time and exercise
• Make you feel irritable or “on edge”

⸻

How chiropractic may help 🤝

At Bateman Chiropractic Clinic in Colchester, we assess how your spine, muscles and nervous system are working together – especially around the neck and upper back.

For some people, particularly when headaches are linked to muscle and joint tension, chiropractic care may help by:
• Improving joint movement with gentle, hands-on techniques
• Reducing muscle tension and supporting better posture
• Giving tailored advice on desk set-up, sleep and lifestyle
• Providing exercises to help support and stabilise the neck and upper back

Everyone is different, and results vary from person to person. Chiropractic care does not replace medical care.

👋 Based in Colchester?
If headaches are stopping you from living life the way you’d like, we can carry out a thorough assessment to see whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you.

“Feels like I’ve got a trapped nerve…” ⚡️

We hear this all the time in clinic.
Here’s the surprising bit 👇

👉 True ‘trapped nerves’ are actually quite rare.
Most people who describe a “trapped nerve” are actually experiencing:
• 🔹 Irritated joints in the spine
• 🔹 Tight, protective muscle spasm
• 🔹 Inflammation around a disc or joint
• 🔹 Referred pain from overworked tissues

These can all cause:
• Sharp, catching pain when you move
• Pain that “zings” if you twist, cough or sneeze
• Feeling like your back or neck “locks” suddenly

The good news?
If we catch it early, these issues usually respond really well to:
• Gentle, specific chiropractic adjustments
• Soft tissue work to calm tight muscles
• Simple, targeted exercises to support and stabilise

If you’ve got sharp, catching pain and you’re worried it’s a trapped nerve, don’t just ignore it or guess 🧠
A proper assessment can tell you what’s really going on and what you can do about it.

Sciatica” is a symptom, not a diagnosis ⚠️

Just being told “You’ve got sciatica” doesn’t explain what’s actually wrong – it only tells you your sciatic nerve is irritated. The real question is: why?

Common underlying causes can include:
• 🔹 Lumbar disc irritation or herniation
• 🔹 Joint dysfunction in the lower back or pelvis
• 🔹 Muscle tightness or imbalance compressing the nerve
• 🔹 Postural stress from sitting, driving or lifting

This is where chiropractic comes in👇
As chiropractors we don’t just chase the pain – we look for the root cause:
• ✅ Detailed history & neurological/orthopaedic testing
• ✅ Assessment of spinal alignment, movement & posture
• ✅ Gentle, specific chiropractic adjustments to improve joint function
• ✅ Soft tissue work & nerve mobilisation (where appropriate)
• ✅ Rehab exercises to support long-term stability & prevent flare-ups

If you’ve been told you have “sciatica” but never had a proper assessment, you deserve more than a label.

👉 DM us “SCIATICA” to book a thorough assessment or tap the link in our bio to schedule online.
You don’t have to just “live with it.”
