Otitis media is the term used for a group of inflammatory disorders of the middle ear.

A Child presents to our clinic with low back pain. Case history shows his parents need to  drain his ears of ear wax every single night. He has missed a lot of time off school due to  ear infections over the past few years. Treatment to date has been antibiotics and ear  draining. After getting adjusted his parents noticed there was a huge decrease in ear wax build up and now only need to drain his ears every 2 weeks and it is still less than the  previous daily build up. If he didn’t have back pain he may still be suffering with his otitis  media, all because the evidence is “unclear”.

What is “Clear” is Chiropractic is not a treatment for any symptom, Chiropractic makes  your body work better. Chiropractic makes you heal better. Chiropractic allows you to  reach your potential. 

In 1961, Dr. Halbert Dumn wrote a booklet called “High Level Wellness” where he defined the term as a lifestyle approach enacted to help individuals pursue elevated states of physical and psychological well-being.
So how do you maintain a high level of wellness? The solution is to focus on your whole body, mind and spirit, not to just rid your body from disease.

Chiropractic is an important part of any wellness routine, just like working out (regular exercise) and eating right (proper nutrition). Consistency is key, because chiropractic care can treat problems before they lead to more serious issues, and it can prevent problems from developing in the first place.

By taking care of subluxations that impact your nervous system’s ability to function, you are making sure that the right signals are traveling through your nervous system to the nerves, through the muscles and organs. This makes sure that everything in your body is working the way it is supposed to and that all of the components that make up your body are getting the proper messages from your brain, through your spinal cord.

Routine chiropractic care give your body what it needs to heal itself and what you need to stay “well”.

A review of 33 articles included 3110 asymptomatic (pain-free) individuals that were given MRI scans or CT scans showed spinal degeneration can happen at any age.

Spinal problems are costing the NHS £481 million per year. Dental care previously had a similar problem. A lack of dental hygiene lead to a high percentage of gum disease and tooth decay but a huge educational push and regular dental visits reduced the number significantly.

When should we start looking after our spines? When should we start a spinal hygiene push with regular chiropractic visits?

If we don’t start until the age of 20 37% will already have permanent damage. If we wait until we are 50 years of age 4 out of 5 will already have degeneration of the spine.

We look after our teeth because we want to look better, if our spines were on our face  would we take more care of it?

This study has shown that our spine can rot and wear out without us feeling pain.

Estimates say we will spend £529 million on sports supplements per year by 2019, but up until now only the top athletes will get assessed for how well the body is working before it breaks down. First you need to know how the human body works.​​

With the 6 Nations championship in full flight there have once again been big concerns over the repetitive head trauma experienced by not just international players, but players of all ages and levels.

The name given to this condition is chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

Dan Biggar was a true welsh hero during the 2015 Rugby World Cup but a certain craze regarding him also received a lot of attention from the media. They called it the Dan Biggar Macarena. Before each kick he would perform a ritual or movement pattern that resembled the Macarena dance. The questions that need to be asked are why does he do it and does it help?
