We are Gitte Steffensen and Derek Allen, we run a small, friendly clinic where we take time to listen to our clients and in collaboration with them, find out how they can get better. According to research carried out by the British Medical Research Council, patients who receive chiropractic treatment recover more rapidly than those given hospital out-patient care.
The Royal College of General Practitioners states that treatment, such as that provided by chiropractors, is an effective way of treating back pain. Have been a patient at Back in Motion for three years now due to a back problem. Without the skills of Derek and Gitte, I don't think I would be able to do all the things I can do now, i.e. swimming, walking and occasionally taking to the dance floor!

When I was at school I was always interested in sports, being a rugby player and runner, and I knew that I always wanted to work in healthcare.
I went to observe a chiropractor when I was a teenager and was fascinated by what I saw, and how the treatment people received had helped them.
At the time of my visit, I had a shoulder injury which I had treated on my visits to the clinic.
This allowed me to get back to playing rugby and set me off on my career as a chiropractor.
I was always active in sports and generally interested in health, so chiropractic appealed to me as a profession.

We specialise in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders that involve the joints, muscles and nerves of the body.
We have a particular interest in spinal conditions.
Gentle and specific techniques are used to improve joint motion and muscle function.
These improvements work to relieve pain, reduce muscle spasm, and help stiff joints to move more freely.
Our treatment approach is tailored to individual patients and their conditions.
So we consider age, health status, and any special circumstances such as pregnancy, or arthritic disorders when determining the most appropriate treatment.

Don't forget that the severity of the pain is usually not an indication of how serious the problem is.
Most patients in severe acute pain have got muscle spasms which, although incredibly painful, are usually resolved quickly.
Use ice - not heat.
The worst part of an acute condition is that the inflammation makes the joint swell.
Think of it as a sprained ankle and put a packet of frozen peas wrapped in a thin tea towel on the painful area.
Apply for 10-15 min every 1-2 hours - even if initially it feels sore, it should help.
