Back Pain
Low back pain, disc issues, referred leg pain, sacroiliac dysfunction, and sciatica from disc problems or piriformis involvement.
What We Work With
Conditions
An evidence-informed approach to musculoskeletal care. The pages below cover the most common presentations I see, organised by body area, sport or activity, and lifestyle situation.
Conditions by Body Area
Neck Pain
Tech neck, desk stiffness, cervicogenic headaches, and chronic tension from sustained screen use or poor sleep position.
Sciatica & Disc Problems
Leg pain, numbness, or weakness from lumbar disc herniation or piriformis syndrome. Distinct from general back pain.
Shoulder Pain
Rotator cuff tendinopathy, impingement, frozen shoulder, and AC joint issues. Common in swimmers, racquet sport players, and gym-goers.
Headaches & Migraines
Cervicogenic and tension-type headaches that originate from the neck. Honest about what chiropractic can and cannot help with.
Upper Back & Thoracic Pain
Mid-back stiffness, thoracic kyphosis, rib-related pain, and the cumulative effects of desk work on the thoracic spine.
Hip Pain
Hip flexor tightness, trochanteric bursitis, femoroacetabular impingement, and hip pain in runners, cyclists, and desk workers.
Knee Pain
Patellofemoral syndrome, IT band syndrome, patellar tendinopathy, and post-operative knee rehabilitation.
Foot & Ankle Pain
Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, ankle sprains, and foot biomechanics for runners and active patients.
Elbow Pain
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis), and elbow pain in racquet sport players and gym-goers.
Wrist & Hand Pain
Carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist flexor tendinopathy, and repetitive strain from keyboard and mouse use.
Jaw Pain (TMJ/TMD)
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction, clicking or locking jaw, and facial pain related to cervical and jaw mechanics.
Scoliosis
Conservative management for non-surgical scoliosis. Focused on pain management, mobility, and movement confidence. Honest about evidence limits.
Conditions by Sport & Activity
Running Injuries
IT band syndrome, runner's knee, plantar fasciitis, Achilles issues, and low back pain from running. For recreational and competitive runners.
Tennis & Racquet Sports
Tennis elbow, shoulder impingement, wrist pain, and upper back issues in tennis, squash, padel, and badminton players.
Golf Injuries
Golf back pain, shoulder and elbow issues, wrist problems, and the specific mechanics of the golf swing that load the spine.
Swimming & Water Sports
Swimmer's shoulder, neck pain from breathing mechanics, and upper back issues in freestyle, backstroke, and butterfly swimmers.
Gym & Weightlifting
Back pain from deadlifts or squats, shoulder injuries from pressing, and the assessment and rehabilitation of training-related injuries.
Cycling Injuries
Lower back pain from cycling position, neck stiffness, knee pain, and wrist or hand pain from prolonged riding.
Conditions by Lifestyle & Situation
Desk & Office Work
Neck tension, upper back stiffness, wrist pain, and the ergonomics and movement habits that make desk work less damaging over time.
Women's Health
Perimenopause, running injuries, hip pain, desk pain, jaw tension, and shoulder issues for active women over 40. Dedicated guides with women-specific framing.
Sleep & Recovery
Sleep posture, waking up stiff, and how sleep quality and recovery habits affect musculoskeletal health and injury resilience.
Travel-Related Pain
Back pain after long-haul flights, post-travel neck stiffness, and how to manage musculoskeletal issues when you're frequently in transit.
Stress & Tension
Tension headaches, upper trapezius holding patterns, jaw clenching, and the physical effects of chronic stress on the musculoskeletal system.
Posture Assessment & Improvement
Posture assessment, improvement strategies, and an honest look at what posture does and doesn't explain about pain and function.
What I Don't Work With
Chiropractic has real limits, and I'm upfront about them. Conditions that require surgical consultation, specialist diagnosis, imaging-guided intervention, or psychological support need providers trained specifically for those things. Where that's the case, I'll tell you directly and help you figure out who to see.
For conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and complex chronic pain with strong central sensitization components, I can still contribute, whether that's manual therapy for the musculoskeletal side, exercise support, or just being a consistent point of contact. But these conditions do best with a multidisciplinary team, and I'm honest about what my piece of that looks like.
