Chiropractors are . . .
specialists in problems with the framework of bones and muscles that support the body (the musculoskeletal system).If you have hurt yourself, maybe through poor posture, a sports injury or an accident and are finding life difficult, muscles stiff in the morning, or painful, then consulting us for chiropractic care can help speed your recovery before it stops you completely. Prevention is better than cure, catching mechanical problems early lets you get on with your life pain free. Most of our new patients have been told about us by someone they know who has been to the clinic and appreciates the care they have received and the improvement they have felt.
We could help you too. Please call or email me, I have information leaflets I can send you, I can arrange a chat or book a consultation for you when you can talk about your symptoms, have a physical examination and diagnosis and if appropriate some treatment.
Age isn't a problem, we see people from new babies upwards. More important is the question, 'Is there anything going on that means you shouldn't be treated'. After extensive study, both initially and ongoing, our chiropractors are trained as primary care practitioners. You do not need to be referred by your doctor. If treatment is not appropriate for you, we will tell you, either referring you to your doctor or suggesting a more appropriate practitioner.
We offer friendly, professional clinics in St Albans, Hertford and Watford. We are here to help you, your family or your friends . . . call me, then pass it on.
"Chiropractic is a health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on the functions of the nervous system and general health. ,There is an emphasis on manual treatments including spinal adjustment and other joint and soft tissue manipulation.".(World Federation of Chiropractic 2001)
My Story
Working on a ladder, I stretched up to a gutter when my back gave way to a crippling pain, from my back and down my left leg. Eventually down on the ground I had a job to get to my bed, where I stayed for two weeks! Stuffed with pain killers I had physio treatment for about 8 weeks.
I went back to work with a steel strip corset holding my back straight. I worked for a week.
On the Saturday morning I bent down to pick up a spoon and my back froze.
Back to bed for another two weeks with considerable pain.
I was advised by a work colleague to go to a chiropractor, Mr M Bassett of Bushey and St Albans.
Again, stuffed with pain killers I was taken to Michael Bassett who advised x-rays.
With the x-rays Michael pointed out the faults in my bonework.
A hands on manipulation soon eased the pain and I could at last stand straight and with the occasional visit to the clinic have kept out of trouble for a long time.
Chiropractors have serious training to work their magic to give one a pain free life.
I thoroughly recommend them.
