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.
At Northampton Chiropractic Clinic, 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.
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.
Back pain can make surprisingly ordinary things difficult.
You may notice it when you first get out of bed, after sitting for a long time, when bending or lifting, driving, working or trying to exercise.
For some people, back pain appears suddenly. For others, it develops gradually or becomes a problem that keeps returning.
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 options may be appropriate for you.

You don’t need to work out what’s wrong before you contact us. That’s what the 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.
What we recommend will depend on you, your symptoms, our assessment and what you’re hoping to get back to doing.
Depending on your needs, your care may include:
Appropriate joint manipulation or mobilisation may form part of your treatment where indicated.

Soft-tissue techniques may be used when muscles and surrounding tissues appear to contribute to pain, tension, or restricted movement.

Exercises may be recommended to help improve movement, strength, stability and function as part of your recovery.
Our Northampton clinic has dedicated rehabilitation facilities, allowing exercise and rehabilitation to be incorporated into your care where appropriate.

Our Northampton clinic has access to on-site 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 be able to 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.
Our Northampton chiropractic clinic opened in 1989 and has been part of the local community for more than three decades.
Over the years, we’ve assessed and treated a wide range of back, neck, joint and musculoskeletal problems.
That experience doesn’t mean we assume we know what’s wrong before we’ve met you. It means we understand the importance of taking the time to assess each person individually.
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’re recommending and why.
Where appropriate, chiropractic care can be combined with soft-tissue treatment, exercise and rehabilitation and other treatment approaches available at the clinic.
This gives us different options when deciding how best to manage your particular problem.
Our Northampton clinic has its own character and history.
The clinic is based at Royal Terrace on Barrack Road, in a distinctive former church school dating from the 1860s and built from local Northampton sandstone.
The building has been extensively converted to provide modern treatment rooms, rehabilitation facilities and on-site X-ray imaging while retaining much of its original character.
The clinic is conveniently located close to Northampton town centre and provides free parking and wheelchair access for patients.

If you’re experiencing back pain, neck pain, sciatica or another musculoskeletal problem, you don’t need to know exactly what’s causing it before making an appointment.
We’ll start by listening, assessing what’s happening and helping you understand what may be contributing to your symptoms and 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.
If you’d like to find out whether we can help, contact our Northampton team.
You can generally contact us directly without a GP referral.
If your symptoms suggest that you should see your GP or another healthcare professional, we’ll advise you.
We’ll start by discussing your symptoms, medical history and how your problem is affecting you.
We’ll then carry out an appropriate physical examination and explain our findings. If chiropractic care is appropriate, we’ll discuss your treatment options with you.

Inflammation is a normal and necessary part of healing. After an injury, your body creates an inflammatory response to protect the area and begin repairing damaged tissue. Problems can occur when inflammation becomes excessive, repeatedly aggravated or persists for too long. This can leave an area painful, stiff and sensitive, making it harder to return
Shockwave therapy is a modern, non-invasive treatment that is commonly used to help reduce pain, improve movement and support the body’s natural healing process. It is particularly beneficial for people suffering from persistent tendon and soft tissue injuries that have not improved with rest, stretching, exercise or other conservative treatments. At ISIS Chiropractic, shockwave therapy
