Is pain or stiffness getting in the way of your everyday life?
Perhaps your back is making it difficult to sit comfortably at work, your neck feels stiff when you turn your head, or you’re experiencing pain travelling from your back or buttock into your leg.
Maybe a shoulder, hip or other joint is stopping you from exercising, sleeping comfortably or doing the things you normally enjoy.
When pain starts interfering with everyday life, it’s natural to want to understand what’s happening and what you can do about it.
Our chiropractors in Northampton will take the time to understand your symptoms, how they are affecting your movement and what they are stopping you from doing.
At ISIS Chiropractic Centres in Northampton, we’ll start by listening to you. We’ll assess your symptoms and movement, explain what we find and discuss whether chiropractic treatment or another approach may be appropriate.
Our Northampton clinic has been providing chiropractic care to people in Northampton and the surrounding area since 1989.
Whether your problem started recently, has gradually developed or keeps coming back, we’ll take the time to understand how it’s affecting you and what may be contributing to your symptoms.
Pain doesn’t always stay in one place, and the area that hurts isn’t necessarily the whole story.
You might have stiffness in your lower back, discomfort around your neck and shoulders, pain travelling into your leg or a joint that simply doesn’t move as comfortably as it used to.
We regularly assess people experiencing:
Your symptoms are individual to you. That’s why we’ll assess what’s happening rather than assuming that everyone with the same type of pain needs the same treatment.
Our Northampton clinical team brings together experienced chiropractors with a range of clinical interests, with assessment, treatment and rehabilitation tailored to the individual patient.

If you’re looking for back pain treatment in Northampton, the first step is understanding what may be contributing to your symptoms. Back pain can make surprisingly ordinary things difficult — from getting out of bed and sitting at work to driving, bending, lifting or exercising.
For some people, back pain starts suddenly. For others, it develops gradually or becomes a problem that keeps returning. You may also experience stiffness, restricted movement or pain that travels into the buttock or leg.
Rather than assuming all back pain is the same, we’ll look at your symptoms, movement and relevant medical history to understand what may be contributing to your problem.
We’ll then explain what we’ve found and discuss what treatment options may be appropriate for you.
Back pain treatment at Isis isn’t based on one technique. Following your assessment, care may include appropriate manual therapy, soft-tissue treatment, exercise and rehabilitation, advice and strategies to help you manage your condition.
Where appropriate, other treatment options available at our Northampton clinic include IDD Therapy, Shockwave Therapy, Low Level Laser Therapy and TECAR therapy. If further investigation or referral is indicated, we’ll discuss this with you.
The aim is not simply to treat where it hurts, but to understand your individual problem and help you move and function better.

If you have pain travelling from your lower back or buttock into your leg, sometimes accompanied by tingling, numbness or weakness, we can assess whether your symptoms are consistent with sciatica and what may be contributing to them.
Not all buttock or leg pain is sciatica. Sciatica usually involves irritation or compression of one of the nerve roots that contributes to the sciatic nerve. Disc problems are one possible cause, although other conditions can produce similar symptoms.
Because treatment depends on the cause of your symptoms, we’ll assess your back and nervous system where appropriate before discussing the treatment, rehabilitation or further investigation that may be suitable for you.

If you have back pain or sciatica and have been told you have a bulging, herniated or “slipped” disc, we’ll assess whether the disc finding is likely to be contributing to your symptoms rather than assuming that a scan result is necessarily the cause of your pain.
Disc-related problems can cause lower back pain and, where a spinal nerve root is irritated or compressed, symptoms such as pain, tingling, numbness or weakness travelling into the leg.
Treatment depends on your individual assessment and may include appropriate manual therapy, advice, exercise and progressive rehabilitation. For some patients with persistent disc-related symptoms, IDD Therapy may also be considered as part of the overall treatment programme.
Our Northampton clinic has on-site X-ray and rehabilitation facilities. Where MRI or specialist assessment is indicated, we’ll discuss the appropriate next step with you.

If you’re looking for neck pain treatment in Northampton, the first step is understanding what may be contributing to your symptoms.
Neck pain can develop suddenly or gradually. You may notice stiffness or restricted movement, pain around the neck or shoulder blades, headaches associated with the neck, or symptoms that travel towards the shoulder or arm.
Some people also experience tingling, numbness or weakness in an arm or hand. Because these symptoms can have different causes, an appropriate assessment is important before deciding what treatment may be suitable.
We’ll ask about your symptoms and relevant medical history and examine your neck, movement, joints and muscles. Where appropriate, we’ll also assess neurological function such as strength, reflexes and sensation.
Neck pain treatment at Isis isn’t based on one technique. Depending on what we find, care may include appropriate manual therapy or mobilisation, soft-tissue treatment, exercise and rehabilitation, advice and strategies to help you manage your condition.
Neck manipulation is not automatically part of treatment. What we recommend will depend on your individual assessment, symptoms, preferences and clinical needs.
If further investigation or referral is indicated, we’ll explain why and discuss the appropriate next step.

You don’t need to work out what’s wrong before you see a chiropractor. That’s what your initial assessment is for.
We’ll start by talking about your symptoms: when they started, what makes them better or worse and how they’re affecting your work, sleep, exercise and everyday activities.
We’ll also ask about your medical history, previous injuries and any treatment you’ve already had.
We’ll carry out a physical examination appropriate to your symptoms.
This may include assessing your movement, joints, muscles and neurological function, depending on the nature of your problem.
We’ll explain what we’ve found in straightforward language and give you the opportunity to ask questions.
We want you to understand what we think may be contributing to your symptoms rather than simply telling you what treatment to have.
If we believe chiropractic care is appropriate, we’ll discuss your treatment options and explain what we’re recommending and why.
If we think you need further investigation, or that another healthcare professional would be more appropriate, we’ll explain that too.
There isn’t one treatment that’s right for everyone.
At our Northampton clinic, treatment is based on you, your symptoms, our assessment and what you’re hoping to get back to doing.
Depending on your needs, your care may combine hands-on treatment, exercise and rehabilitation, advice and other treatment options available at the clinic.
Our chiropractors may use appropriate joint manipulation or mobilisation as part of your treatment, depending on your assessment and individual needs.

Our Northampton clinic has access to on-site digital X-ray imaging.
Most people don’t need an X-ray, so imaging will only be recommended where we believe it may provide clinically useful information.
Where appropriate, we can also arrange private referrals for MRI or ultrasound scanning.
For many musculoskeletal problems, hands-on treatment is only part of the picture.
You may want to get back to running or playing sport. Perhaps you’d simply like to walk further, work without discomfort, get back into the garden or enjoy everyday activities more comfortably.
Whatever matters to you, we’ll take that into account.
Depending on your problem, exercise and rehabilitation may be used alongside treatment to help improve your movement, strength and confidence.
Our Northampton clinic has its own rehabilitation facilities, allowing us to incorporate appropriate exercises into your care when needed.
The aim isn’t simply to look at where it hurts. It’s to help you work towards getting back to the activities that are important to you.
Isis Chiropractic Centres has been providing chiropractic care in Northampton since 1989. Over that time, we’ve helped generations of patients with back pain, neck pain and a wide range of musculoskeletal problems.
Today, our Northampton clinic combines that long-standing local experience with modern assessment, treatment and rehabilitation facilities.
Our Northampton chiropractors are registered with the General Chiropractic Council (GCC), the statutory regulator for chiropractors in the UK.
You’ll be assessed as an individual. We’ll explain what we think may be contributing to your symptoms, discuss your options and recommend treatment only where we believe it is appropriate.
We don’t assume that every patient needs the same treatment. Depending on your assessment, care may include appropriate manual therapy, soft-tissue treatment, exercise and rehabilitation, advice and other treatment options available at the clinic.
If we believe further investigation or another healthcare professional would be more appropriate, we’ll explain that too.
Our Northampton clinic has on-site digital X-ray facilities and dedicated rehabilitation facilities.
X-rays are only recommended when clinically appropriate. Where other imaging is indicated, we can also arrange private referral for MRI or ultrasound scanning.
Our clinic is on Royal Terrace, Barrack Road, Northampton NN1 3RF, with free parking available for patients.
Where you feel pain isn’t always the only area that needs assessing.
If you come to us with shoulder pain, for example, we may also look at your neck, upper back, movement and surrounding muscles. If you’re experiencing hip or leg pain, we may need to consider your lower back and pelvis as well.
We’ll base our recommendations on what we find during your assessment.
Your treatment isn’t based simply on the name given to your condition. We’ll consider your symptoms, examination findings, medical history, lifestyle and what you’re hoping to achieve.
We’ll explain what we’ve found, the options available to you and what we’re recommending and why.
Our Northampton clinic currently holds both the Royal College of Chiropractors Patient Partnership Quality Mark (PPQM) and Clinical Management Quality Mark (CMQM).

You don’t need to know exactly what’s causing your symptoms before making an appointment. Whether you’re experiencing back pain, neck pain, sciatica or another musculoskeletal problem, we’ll start by listening, assessing what’s happening and explaining what your options are.
It’s easy to start adapting your life around pain.
Perhaps you’ve stopped exercising, changed the way you sit or sleep, avoided particular movements or simply accepted that certain activities are going to be uncomfortable.
Sometimes those changes are sensible in the short term. But if a problem isn’t improving, keeps returning or is starting to interfere with your everyday life, it may be time to have it assessed.
Understanding what may be contributing to your symptoms is a useful first step.

Returning to exercise after a few weeks or months away can feel great — but one of the biggest mistakes is trying to restart exactly where you left off. During a break, your strength, fitness and tolerance to exercise can reduce. Your motivation may return quickly, but your body’s ability to handle the same training
Back pain can affect you at almost any age, but the factors contributing to it can change throughout your life. From training loads and long hours sitting in your 20s, to increasing work and family demands in your 40s, and changes in strength and mobility later in life — understanding what may be contributing to your
Stress doesn’t only affect how you feel mentally — it can also have a very real physical effect on the body. When stress becomes persistent, the nervous system can remain in a heightened state of alert. This can contribute to muscle tension, disrupted sleep, increased pain sensitivity and slower recovery, sometimes creating a cycle where
