Welcome To Blokland Health
Expert Chiropractor near Highworth and Swindon
Back & Knee
The back and knee are connected by the sciatic nerve, which means they are very closely connected. Most people who suffer with knee pain, could also suffer with back pain or vice versus.
Shoulder
Shoulders are the most mobile joint in the body and as such are prone to injury. Electromagnetic therapy has proven to be extremely beneficial for shoulder problems.
Knee
One of the biggest causes of ongoing knee pain is mechanical misalignment from above. A twisted pelvis or even a scoliotic spine can aggravate the knee.
Hip
Long term causes of hip pain could include osteoarthritis or once again a twisted pelvis (postural changes). Hip pain can be very difficult to live with as the hip joint is a weight bearing joint that supports you when you stand.
Foot & Ankle
Foot and ankle problems can cause great disruption to your life, and can also cause other body parts to ache or be in pain and out of alignment.
Elbow & Wrist
Common issues in the elbow and wrist are repetitive strain injuries like tennis and golfers’ elbow and RSI of the wrist.
Sciatica
Sciatic nerve irritation can cause pain and pins and needles in the buttocks and legs. Chiropractic care can help relieve these symptoms.
Chronic Pain
A large percentage of the UK population suffer with chronic pain. With joint arthritis and low back pain being two of the most common causes. Chiropractic can help relieve these symptoms.
Assessment
At Blokland Health we listen to our patients and consider every patient’s symptom uniquely in the context of their full health history, lifestyle, personal circumstances and in particular their individual health aims before deciding on our best recommended care.
You will receive a full consultation, case history, physical, orthopaedic, and neurological examination. You may be referred for x-rays and or a DEXA scan for Osteoporosis if deemed necessary, dependant on your current health status.
Diagnosis
We will use all your information gleaned during your assessment to formulate a diagnosis. Based on your diagnosis and health aims we will give you our best recommendation for care. This will include the type of care, the length of the programme and the cost. Often it means we will not always adjust or treat you on your first visit. This is in your best health interest.
Our success lies in recommending the correct treatment programme for your appropriately diagnosed condition. This reliable method has been cemented on 30 years’ experience within the Chiropractic profession.
Treatment
Initial intensive care: If an ache, pain, or trauma resulting in obvious symptoms has prompted you to seek our help, the first thing you want is to reduce pain and feel better. Our adjustments may be frequent and combined with other procedures such as advice and rehabilitation exercises to help achieve a maximal health response from your care. Depending on your age, diagnosis and associated trauma, as well as current lifestyle habits, your visits maybe repetitive over weeks or months. The frequency is to reduce inflammation and help repair the damage that trauma, or
lifestyle habits may have caused over the years. A further service we offer is the Medi loop (pulsed electromagnetic therapy) which is a fantastic bio hack to reduce inflammation and pain.
Corrective care is always recommended to help stabilise, strengthen, and encourage further healing to the remaining damaged muscle and soft tissue, after your original symptoms have improved. When your aches and pain has eased, more complete healing can occur to achieve maximal health. Stopping care early may risk a relapse in your care. This phase of care often includes muscle, core and postural strengthening exercises
which we will teach you at `Blokland Health’.
Wellness care: When maximum improvement is reached, we will always recommend that you maintain and prevent the re-occurrence of joint subluxation or stiffness, this is achieved through wellness care. Wellness maintenance visits can detect and help correct new problems before they become serious. Wellness care also helps you maintain quality of life, to help achieve optimal health.
