S. Sharp

Patient

I went to Nick unable to move my lower back due to pain. I had 5 days of intensive treatment and he put it completely right and no issues since!

B. Thomas

Patient

I went to Nick with acute pain in my shoulder blade and no movement in my neck after an uneventful trip to my local GP. The treatment I received was excellent,within 2 weeks I had movement back and the pain has subsided. I very highly recommend Nick as his high level of skill and expertise helped me to recover so quickly.

L. Tweed

Braunton Chiropractic Clinic is a quiet and comfortable space for receiving a treatment. Nick is a highly skilled professional who is welcoming and extremely thorough, accurate and knowledgeable. I have seen him many times over the years for what I term 'body maintenance' and always feel reset and like new afterwards. Highly recommend!

Spinal Manipulation

Chiropractic treatment mainly involves safe, often gentle, specific spinal manipulation to free joints in the spine or other related areas that are not moving properly. Most often this requires a short thrust to a joint that can result in an audible 'pop' and may bring relief of symptoms; some patients report an increased feeling of well-being. The 'pop' is simply the sound of bubbles of gas popping in the fluid of the joint as the pressure is released. There is, however, no instant cure and some patients may experience temporary symptoms such as soreness around the areas being treated.

Medical Acupuncture

This technique combines modern western Trigger Point theories with traditional Chinese Acupuncture. Fine needles are inserted to stimulate acupuncture points, creating a small inflammatory reaction and stimulating the body's own pain relieving and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. Medical Acupuncture/Dry Needling works in this instance by inhibiting some of the body's responses to the problem, particularly muscle spasm and so relieving some of the pain and thus allowing the Chiropractic Adjustments to work unopposed.

Kinesiology Taping

All of your tissues — skin, connective tissue, fascia and muscles contain sensory receptors that feel pain, temperature and touch. Those receptors all contribute to proprioception (your brain's sense of where your body is and what it's doing). Kinesiology taping creates a lift that unloads the underlying tissues. Decompressing those tissues can change the signals going to the brain. When the brain receives a different signal, it's going to respond differently. Trigger points are a good example.
Physical therapists have used kinesiology tape to lift the skin over these tense, knotted muscles.
When the area is decompressed, pain receptors send a new signal to the brain and tension in the trigger point decreases.
Studies on athletes have shown that when kinesiology tape is used on fatigued muscles, performance improves.
Kinesiology tape can help re-train muscles that have lost function or that have gotten used to an unhealthy way of working.

Therapeutic Exercise

A course of exercise therapy designed to strengthen and restore the normal function of muscles, improve endurance and stamina, increase flexibility and range of movement of tight muscles and reduce pain. Balance exercises are also included to improve the reaction time of lazy muscle groups. Each patient is individually assessed and a programme is devised specific to individual needs and level of ability.

Ergonomic Rehabilitation

This therapy looks at what you do in your daily life and how you do it, and suggests a series of improvements you can make to improve your muscular skeletal health, such as sitting properly at your computer with the right equipment in the right place.

Joint Mobilization

Joint mobilization is a manual therapy intervention is a type of straight-lined, passive movement of a skeletal joint that addresses arthrokinematic joint motion (joint gliding) rather than osteokinematic joint motion. It is usually aimed at a 'target' synovial joint with the aim of achieving a therapeutic effect.
