Having children doesn't really improve the situation and playing football in the park with them results in a torn cruciate ligament attempting one of Beckham's drifting free kicks which looked so easy on Match of the Day. Mothers have temporarily given up their stressful sedentary careers for a period of sleep deprivation, bending and carrying and just dreaming of that Tuesday evening Pilates class.

The Octagon is a true family clinic and we treat all age groups and a diverse range of conditions. Many people know that Chiropractors treat back pain but we are trained to treat a vast range of conditions of a musculo-skeletal origin. This can include repetitive strain injuries, headaches, jaw dysfunction and mechanical foot problems to mention just a few.

If you are unsure if we can help please feel free to phone, e-mail or come to visit us at the clinic. Alternatively you may wish to attend one of our monthly backcare talks when there will be plently of time for your individual questions.
