Ever wish your spine had its own personal trainer and cheer squad? At The Spinal Centre, we combine cutting-edge spinal traction and advanced rehab with old-school chiropractic wisdom to help you stand taller—literally and metaphorically. Think of it as a “spine spa day” meets scientific precision: X-ray biomechanical analysis, Whole Body Vibration, and even Russian cosmonaut-inspired techniques (no spacesuit required).

We don’t just patch things up; we address the root cause of your discomfort for lasting results. Whether you’re fixing a single achy joint or overhauling your entire posture, we’ve got you covered—because a happier spine means a happier you!

Impaired Trunk Posture in Women With Fibromyalgia Pain

Increased Thoracic Kyphosis and Sagittal In-Balance ==> Increased Chronic Pain

A recent paper prepared out of the University of Valencia and Miguel Hernández University, Spain has been published through PubMed by Sempere-Rubio N and Aguilar-Rodríguez M et. al.

It investigates the relationship of mid back posture, thoracic kyphosis and forward head carriage in patients with Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia Syndromes.

The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance

Josh Waitzkin’s book has great appeal. As a former athlete who has a tendency to over think a majority of issues, I was drawn to the blend of cognitive process and Eastern philosophy.

An integration of the ordered and the abstract. An eclectic mix of ideas no doubt.

The book is an interesting journey of reflection, loss and dealing with conflict. Progression as an individual and patterning processes to achieve improved outcomes and optimal performance.

Motion isn’t Optional — It’s the Language of Life.

Every step, stretch and spinal movement sends vital information to your brain, shaping balance, coordination, pain regulation and performance. When the spine becomes restricted, the body compensates: movement turns inefficient, muscles tighten to guard, and the nervous system adapts to a lower standard.

Chiropractic care helps restore healthier spinal motion and reduce unnecessary mechanical stress, supporting your body’s ability to self-regulate and return toward homeostasis. If you want to move better, think clearer and live stronger, start by keeping your spine moving.

Early evidence suggests a single chiropractic session can measurably boost leg strength and brain-to-muscle drive in people living with chronic stroke. Building on Holt et al. (2019), we explain how precise spinal adjustments may sharpen cortical output and open a short ‘plasticity window’ for practice.

At The Spinal Centre, advanced assessment and targeted, gentle care are paired with structured progress checks to turn small gains into lasting function. No miracles promised—just careful screening, individualised plans, and measurable outcomes that support safer stance, steadier steps, and more confident daily movement. Read the full explainer and see the key results.

The Clinic will be open over the Christmas and New Year period.  Time for family, celebration, rest and relaxation.

Sometimes You need back surgery. Some times You don’t.

With up to 88% of spinal surgery being unnecessary or ineffectual maybe you want to avoid going under the knife.

Perhaps you don’t need surgery. Perhaps you need a second opinion with some realistic options to get better without drugs or surgery.

Many people (around 200,000) undergo lumbar spine surgery each years. Of those, an astonishing 20-40% will not become pain free as promised – and a full 10% will be worse off following the surgery!

To understand what is meant by “disc injury” it is necessary to understand the function and make up of the disc itself.

During our lives, many of us will have neck pain, and most of us won’t know exactly what caused it. In fact, neck pain can start from a whole range of causes.

Maybe you slept funny and woke up with a crick that won’t go away. You might’ve been rear-ended in your car and now you have whiplash.

Back pain is a very common complaint. About three in four adults will experience back pain during their lifetime-and that number may very well rise, given our aging population and recent trend of obesity.

Low back pain (pain in your lumbar spine) is the most common. Most back pain comes from sprains and strains caused by stressful movements: lifting something without using proper techniques or a sudden twisting motion are just two examples of how you can hurt your back.
