At Worcester Chiropractic Clinic, we treat a variety of different conditions. Below are some examples. If you don’t see your problem here, don’t worry, contact us to see if we can help.
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people consult a chiropractor in Worcester. This can be lower back pain, mid back pain or upper back pain and can come with nerve pain such as sciatica too.
In almost all circumstances a chiropractor should be the first stop for people with back pain. In much the same way as a dentist has the tools to deal with tooth ache, a chiropractor has the right tools to deal with back pain quickly and effectively. More…

Trapped nerves can be incredibly painful. Typically, nerves get pinched where they leave the spine, leading to radiating arm or leg pain. Trapped nerves can also cause weakness, numbness and sensations like pins and needles. The most important element of treating a trapped nerve is to establish which nerve is trapped, where and why. This diagnostic process is something that our chiropractors are experts in and can be carried out very quickly. Another advantage of seeking chiropractic care for a trapped nerve is that treatment can be started immediately and produces excellent results. More…
Osteoarthritis is the most common joint problem in the world. Nearly all of us get arthritis at some point in our lives, but the symptoms of arthritis generally respond very well to conservative treatment. Joint stiffness and pain can be alleviated with manual therapy and exercise, leaving invasive options such as injections and joint replacements as options if things deteriorate. Arthritis is also preventable, at least in part. Preventative rehabilitative exercises and manual therapy can stop your joints from degenerating in the first place. More…
Sciatica can be extremely painful, causing radiating pain down one or both legs. Fortunately, sciatica responds very well to chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic treatment for sciatica consists of manual therapy, such as spinal manipulation, alongside exercise and lifestyle advice. If you have sciatica, a chiropractor should be your first port of call. More…
Over 6 million people in the UK suffer from migraines at least once a month. Fortunately, headaches and migraines often respond to chiropractic treatment. This is because mechanical strain in the neck is the most common cause of headache and migraine, even when there is no neck pain. Our chiropractors have also been trained to treat TMJ pain, which can manifest as headaches. The single most important aspect of treating headaches, however, is the diagnostic process. Accurate diagnosis is our number one priority and is what sets Worcester Chiropractic Clinic apart. More…

Frozen Shoulder
Perhaps one of the most over-diagnosed conditions, frozen shoulder is a relatively uncommon problem that leads to progressive and painful stiffening of the shoulder joint. There are many other shoulder conditions that can be confused with frozen shoulder, and so the most important element of care is to achieve an accurate diagnosis. This is where chiropractors can be of most help. Our approach at Worcester Chiropractic Clinic is based upon arriving at a specific diagnosis and being able to choose the right kind of treatment for each type of problem we encounter. More…
The knee is a relatively simple joint, but pain can still arise from a number of different structures. Our chiropractors are trained to diagnose the source of knee pain. They will assess your biomechanics to understand why knee pain has been triggered and will provide you with treatment and rehabilitation to resolve the problem. More…
Plantar fasciitis is a condition in which tissue under the sole of the foot becomes inflamed and irritated. It is usually very simple to diagnose, but sometimes patients get told they have plantar fasciitis when foot pain is coming from another cause. Treatment involves manual therapy, exercises and potentially footwear modifications. More…
Neck pain can arise for lots of different reasons, but is usually simple to deal with. Chiropractic treatment is very effective for relieving and preventing neck pain, whether symptoms are caused by a problem with joints, muscles or nerves (or a combination). This page contains information on different types and causes of neck pain, as well as advice that may help if you are struggling with neck pain right now. More…
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a common cause of pins and needles, or pain, in the hand. It is caused by irritation of one of the nerves that enters the hand.
