About Chiropractic Care
Here at Ridgeway Health and Wellness, we advocate chiropractic care as a mainstay of an all-round healthy lifestyle. You donβt have to be in pain to benefit, indeed regular chiropractic adjustments should be similar to dental check ups and taking your car in for a service. Donβt wait to have a problem to get a check-up.
While spinal health is not measured through pain alone and you donβt have to be in pain to benefit from chiropractic care, a side effect of chiropractic adjustments is pain relief. A natural, drug free, non-invasive pain relief.
This is all down to subluxations interfering with the normal function of the body. If your spine is misaligned this can cause issues with the nerves in the body causing things like headaches, neck pain, back pain, leg pain, sciatica and arm pain to name but a few. As well as aches from where a joint may be fixated. Chiropractic care can help relieve the pain and discomfort of these by aligning your spine reducing any nerve impingement and freeing up fixated vertebrae.
Furthermore, you may also suffer from a whole host of other ailments that you may not nervous systems think are related. But because of these subluxations, your nervous system is not able to function properly. Your nervous system is connected to all functions of the body, so any reduction in function of this due to subluxations is going to have an impact on the organs in the body. Basically, an unhealthy, subluxated spine, means an unhealthy person; a healthy well-adjusted spine means a healthy well-adjusted person.
Pain is often one of the first symptoms to go. However, this does not necessarily mean that you are subluxation free as only a small portion of a nerve is dedicated to the sensation of pain. Once the spine is adjusted to the point of pain relief or reduction and on the path to correction, we introduce the use of spinal rehabilitation to strengthen the core muscles and therefore strengthen and stabilise the spine. Continuing in this way it is possible to minimise and prevent further subluxations.
There are many factors in modern day life which can impact on our health. Things like stress, trauma and other emotional and physical factors can lead to subluxations and it is important to address these. Our aim is to provide the highest quality of chiropractic care to get you feeling well and out of pain and discomfort and then to keep you that way. We want to give the body the best possible chance to heal itself and help protect it from further damage.
Whatever your particular problem weβre always happy to be of help. Feel free to call us for an initial consultation or contact us or simply sign up for our newsletter on our home page to maximise energy and weight-loss.

Paul Boland
The whole team at Ridgeway Health and Wellness are absolute stars!! Both my boyfriend (Jim) and I have dodgy backs that need regular mainenance and Mark keeps us upright and moving comfortably. When I do something stupid and really tweak my back, I don't mind which of the team sees me for an emergency appt (they always quickly find a space for me) as they are all so good at getting me going again! You only have one back and neither Jim or I would trust ours to anyone other than Mark and the team!!!
Sarah Chidgey
I used to play squash but, the day after playing I could hardly walk due to back pain. Ridgeway cured the problem and the regular maintenance means I've been free from pain and discomfort for the last 10 years and i'm able to compete in a range of sports without issue!
Simon Clarke
I have received the most fabulous care from Poppy at Ridgeway Health and Wellness. Apart from maintaining my spine health, my 9 year old Achilles injury has completely healed. I could barely make a dog walk before I had the mediloop treatment, and now Iβll be hiking Snowdon in Spring. I struggled with the injury for so long, I couldnβt and canβt believe the pain is all a distant memory now! Being a Ballet teacher, I I am so grateful to have my my full range of movement back.
Sarah Bradshaw
One of the few chiropractors in the UK that have their own in house X-ray department for instant diagnosis of internal problems. The team of staff there are all super
Ian Mowat
Until I visited Ridgeway I thought that finally, age had caught me and pain was going to become both a sleeping and walking partner. Itβs only after a few treatments that you realise his stiff your body was and how you had gotten accustomed to it.
Lucinda Green
I came seeking help for my arthritic ankles. I have very little swelling now after 8 treatments and, they used to ache a lot before but now there is no pain. I can move them better. I am very satisfied with what I am having, I hope Mediloop works for everyone.
Mary
I would like to thank you for what you have achieved with my neck and thoracic spine. My husband wanted me to see you a few years ago, but I had had physiotherapy and osteopathy, I did not think a chiropractor would achieve anything.
Dawn Light
After being treated at this practise I have so much more mobility in my neck after not being able to turn my head at all! I feel so much fitter than before and would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody involved in my care.
Ron Burtenshaw
After nearly 6 years of persistent and virtually daily headaches following a cycling accident, and having endured multiple GP/Hospital visits and treatments. Iβve been almost headache free since chiropractic treatment started.
