Leading Chiropractors in Norfolk

Physiotherapists and chiropractors both specialize in helping patients to manage pain and improve physical function, but each approach has a distinct focus and methodology.

Chiropractic treatment is the more modern of the two, with a focus on movement, posture, stress, function of the joints, soft tissue and the nervous system. Chiropractic techniques tend to use spinal manipulation and other techniques to reduce pain and inflammation, and can also recommend specific exercises and lifestyle adjustments to manage short term/long term conditions.

In comparison, physiotherapists adopt a broader focus on rehabilitation for sports injuries, neurological conditions, and post surgery.

Chiropractic treatment focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of conditions related to the nerves and musculoskeletal system. The most well known method for this is spinal manipulation, also known as chiropractic adjustment.

We routinely incorporate additional techniques such as soft tissue therapy, exercises, and stretches. In our clinic, we also use advanced K-Laser medical therapy for relieving pain, modulating inflammation, and accelerating healing.

Our treatments are often a less invasive alternative to medication or surgery for relieving painful conditions relating to the body’s structure and function and enhancing recovery.

Our practitioners will often use chiropractic adjustments for patients with restricted joint mobility.

This procedure involves applying a controlled movement. As the tiny spaces open up in your joints, a painless ‘pop’ is often heard where a release of pressure allows gas to escape – known as joint cavitation.

These procedures are made with the aim to improve the body’s motion and physical function.

Every patient’s treatment plan is bespoke to their needs and lifestyle. This can be influenced by age, existing conditions and general health, chronic pain, and the nature of any conditions to be treated.

It also depends on the approach requested. Maintenance is often recommended to support some ongoing conditions rather than just relieving symptoms.

The decision for how long you benefit from care is always your choice. Our aim is to help you get well and stay well.

If you have any recent imaging, (e.g. x-rays or MRI scans/results) please bring these along with you. We can then tie this into your history and physical examination, helping to formulate a plan for your care.

Chiropractic care is recognised as being very safe when performed by a registered practitioner.

To keep you safe and reduce the risk of side effects, we will conduct a thorough assessment, reviewing your medical history, alongside conducting a physical examination to check which treatment is suitable for you.

In rare cases, our patients may experience mild soreness for the first few days after treatment. This is your body adapting and changing in the way it works, which is perfectly normal.

Chiropractic care is often administered to relieve sciatica pain, alongside similar conditions relating to the neuromusculoskeletal system.

Our practitoners aim to reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve by improving spinal and muscular function, reducing muscle tightness, nerve irritation and inflammation.

For many patients with sciatica, chiropractic treatment can be an effective, non-invasive method to relieve and manage pain. To find out whether this treatment would suit you, it’s best to discuss with us.

We can often assist with managing the symptoms of Osteoarthritis, such as general aches and joint pains.

Whilst treatment cannot cure this condition or reverse the damage it causes, we can often help to relieve discomfort and maintain function.

Whilst most people initially visit us due to neck, back, joint or nerve/soft tissue complaints, we regularly see people who want to be proactive, get fit and stay fit. Our care is safe and effective for people of all ages, from children and the elderly to elite sports athletes.

It can be difficult to estimate the cost of treatment as all cases are different. Each patient will respond uniquely to treatment, and it can also depend on experience and methods used. At Anglia Chiropractic, we want to help you to get symptom relief as soon as possible, and to help you to get well and stay well, with the minimum time and expense possible.

We offer bespoke care tailored to your needs, goals and condition with ongoing support until required.
