If you experience back pain it is important to look at what you do in your everyday life that might be aggravating your back.
- Do you spend a lot of time sitting?
- Do you have to carry heavy loads?
- Do you have to bend a lot?
- Do you spend a lot of time driving?
- Are you overweight?
- Do you sleep on your front?
- Do you look after small children?
- Have you had an accident or jarred your back in the past?
- Do you play any impact sports?
- No time for myself?
- Am I stressed?

Adrian the chiropractor is superb. Before seeing him with back and shoulder issues I had seen a physiotherapist, and an osteopath … More but neither helped. Following treatment by Adrian I'm significantly better. Thank you so much. -
