Hi, I have been suffering with shoulder pain for a few years now, I have been to see a physio but the exercises haven’t really helped. I believe I have inflamed tendons in my shoulder, which were the result of lifting heavy items in the garage around 3 yrs ago. I’ve managed the pain up until now, however, it is starting to affect my sleep, keeping me awake at night. I have difficulty moving my right arm with sharp pains nearly constantly whilst moving the arm. I have been told that acupuncture may help? Is this something you do? Is this issue something you can rectify for me? Regards Scott

Hi Scott,

Whilst we don’t provide acupuncture here, one of our chiros-Vicky, does dry needling, which is similar.

Apart from that, I treat a lot of shoulder problems and might be able to help you using chiropractic treatment.

I’m looking for traditional, manual HVLA spinal adjustments—the classic structural clicking (Diversified technique). I don’t mind a tiny bit of muscle prep if needed, but I want to make sure the core of the treatment is the manual adjustments, as soft-tissue pressure work just doesn’t work for my body. Is this something you can accommodate? Thanks

---

Hi,

Yes, I myself prefer HVLA adjustments, as do my two other male chiros. Our female chiro tends to more ‘gentle’ techniques.

Hello,

I suggest that you go and get checked over by a chiro near you.

I’ve been dealing with a left-side levator scapulae issue for over 6 months now. It improves with rehab, but keeps getting re-aggravated during lifting, even with light weights. Tilting my head to the right and down hurts that area and the neck slightly.
Not sure if I’m over-engaging the levator during lifts or if my non-dominant side is just too weak and unstable.
Would appreciate any advice or pointers.
Thanks

Hello,

Without having examined you, if it’ is a lev scap issue, I’d advise massage and / or chiropractic as it obviously needs more than whatever rehab you’ve been doing to it.

Are you able to treat sciatica? and over what period of time

---

Hi,

We do treat pain in the back of the leg but I can’t tell you how long it would take to resolve as there are many different causes and I also don’t know how old the patient is and how long they’ve had it.

My child suffers from asthma, eczema and dairy allergy. Takes preventive inhalers for asthma. Has poor posture, slow metabolism gets easily bloated and gains weight even when he is eating a normal balanced diet with protein fibre and fruits. average in sports, tries to do his best by exercising but body doesn’t help. Can chiropractic adjustments help with these?

---

Hello,

I don’t think that Chiropractic adjustments would be much help for your little one with those problems.

I’d suggest that you take him to evaluated by a Functional Medicine practitioner as they are well placed to figure out root causes of those types of health disorders.
