Chiropractic Care
The first challenge is to get you out of pain. The second challenge is to correct, strengthen and rehabilitate your spine, getting it, your muscles and your nerves working well together. The third challenge is all about maintaining good spinal health, keeping you from falling back to where you were when you first came to the clinic.
What Chiropractic Can Help With
Chiropractic care may help people experiencing a wide range of musculoskeletal problems. Patients commonly visit us for the following, but you can see the full range of conditions we can help with here.
The Park Street Chiropractic Process
New Patient Forms
From the first minute you walk into our clinic, the emphasis will be on you. We are dedicated to providing you and your family a world class service. We will request you fill our patient form. This provides us with general information about yourself and your current health.
Consultation & Examination
Next you will have a consultation with our Chiropractor to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options. Your first visit is designed for the Chiropractor to learn more about you, your condition and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care will meet your goals.
Your Chiropractor will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes as well as other neurologic, orthopaedic, postural, and physical examinations. No treatment will be provided appointment. Because of the amount of information collected it would be clinically inappropriate to provide treatment before producing a full report of findings. Which leads us on to our next appointment: the ‘Report of Findings’…
Report of Findings
Once all the information and examinations have been performed, your Chiropractor will give you a report of findings to answer the three most popular questions: Can you help me? How long will it take? How much is it going to cost? After discussing with you your history and your goals, examining your spine and other soft tissue related areas and reviewing any x-rays or tests, your Chiropractor will discuss recommendations with you.
If you have a condition that requires care with other providers, the Chiropractor will tell you. If your Chiropractor believes we can help you, he/she will recommend treatment and a wellness program. Treatment will be provided on this appointment upon the patient’s consent.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care
At our clinic in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, we provide personalised chiropractic care to help relieve back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint pain, and muscle tension while improving movement and overall function.

Alongside hands-on care, we offer guidance on posture, exercise, and lifestyle to support your recovery, reduce the risk of future problems, and promote long-term health and well-being.
Treatment Techniques
Chiropractic Adjustments (Diversified Technique)
Gentle, precise manual adjustments are used to help improve joint movement, reduce stiffness, ease pressure through the spine and joints, and support better overall function.
Chiropractic Drop Techniques
Drop technique uses a specially designed section of the chiropractic bench to assist treatment, helping restore function in restricted joints with a controlled and comfortable approach.
Joint Mobilisation Techniques
Joint mobilisation uses slower, gentler movements to help free up stiff joints, improve flexibility, reduce discomfort, and encourage more natural movement.
Activator Techniques
The Activator is a small spring-loaded instrument that delivers a precise, low-force, high-speed impulse to targeted joints to help improve mobility and restore range of motion.
Pelvic Blocks
Pelvic blocks are a gentle technique used to help realign the pelvis, reduce strain through the lower back and sacroiliac joints, and encourage better balance through the body.
Dry Needling (Western Medical Acupuncture)
Dry needling is used to release tight muscles, reduce trigger points, improve blood flow, and help calm pain and tension in overworked areas.
Kinesiology Taping Techniques
Kinesiology taping can help support muscles and joints, reduce strain on injured tissues, improve movement awareness, and aid recovery — particularly for active people and athletes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to keep cracking my own neck or back?
Many people do this because it gives a quick sense of relief, especially when they feel stiff or tight. Doing it repeatedly can become a habit that does not actually address the underlying cause of the tension or restriction. Often, people end up forcing the same joints to move over and over again, while the areas that are truly stiff or not functioning properly remain untreated. Over time, this can sometimes increase irritation, muscle tension or instability. If you feel the need to crack your neck or back regularly, it is usually a sign that something deeper needs assessing properly.
Do I need an X-ray before chiropractic treatment?
Not always. Most people do not need an X-ray before starting chiropractic care. We begin with a full consultation and physical assessment to understand your symptoms, medical history, posture and movement. We only recommend X-rays when they are clinically necessary and likely to provide useful information that helps guide diagnosis or treatment planning. If we feel an X-ray would be helpful, we will explain why, what it may show, and whether it is the most appropriate form of imaging for your situation.
Are chiropractic treatments safe?
Chiropractic care is a safe, non-invasive treatment option when carried out by a properly trained practitioner. We always take a careful history, perform a full assessment, and choose techniques that suit your body, symptoms and comfort level. Treatment can also be adapted using gentler approaches, such as Activator methods, pelvic blocks or joint mobilisation, where appropriate.
