Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a primary health care discipline which utilises the highest level of evidence in the provision of effective patient evaluation and care. Chiropractors specialise in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of mechanical disorders of the spine, joints and muscles.
Health Plus chiropractors in Ilford and Hampstead Garden Suburb have an excellent proven track record in treating: back pain, neck pain, sciatica, lower back pain, slipped discs, headaches, migraine, pins and needles, trapped nerves, ligament damage, pregnancy back pain, as well as all types of chronic pain and muscular problems in Ilford (Essex), Hampstead Garden Suburb (North West London) and South Woodford (London) UK.
A chiropractor will first determine what is wrong and also check for signs of any serious conditions which would require treatment by a GP or by a hospital consultant. Your chiropractor may determine further investigation is required and refer you for the appropriate investigation. In the majority of cases your chiropractor will be happy to treat on the day of examination.
Your first visit to a chiropractor is the first step on the road to recovery.
Chiropractors use a variety of techniques as part of your treatment, these include: manipulation, mobilisation, massage, stretching, exercise prescription, ultrasound, interferential, activity modification and advice.
Physiotherapy
A Physiotherapist is a primary healthcare professional that uses a standardised range of scientifically based assessment and treatment techniques in order to decrease pain, increase movement and therefore facilitate an early return to everyday activities. Physiotherapists treat a number of conditions including: back pain, shoulder pain, sports injuries, shoulder pain and knee pain.
At Health Plus Physiotherapist Ilford we provide specialised treatment for all muscle and joint problems including sports injuries. We ensure that your problem is treated by a physiotherapist with a specific expertise and knowledge of the injured area. Our practice has close links with Orthopaedic Consultants and is medical insurance approved so you can rest assured that you will receive excellent treatment.
Physiotherapists at Health Plus aim to restore you to your previous functional level and help you fully understand why you are having ongoing problems. This helps you manage your problem more effectively and accelerates the long term resolution of your problem and prevent chronicity. Treatments are based on a detailed examination that highlights the underlying cause and we do not just treat the local area of pain.
Sports and Remedial Massage
Sports Massage is a complementary therapy concerned with the assessment and treatment of the body’s soft tissues. Soft tissues include: muscle, tendon, ligament and fascia. Sports Massage is practiced holistically with concern for the patients’ mental and emotional well being as well as the presenting physical condition.
Following an assessment, the practitioner will manage tissue disorders using various soft tissue techniques; either with a planned programme for injury prevention or, in the case of an acquired injury, rehabilitation to restore soft tissue function.
For sport or other activity Sports Massage can be used to stimulate blood circulation to accelerate the supply of nourishment and oxygen to muscle. The stimulation by massage of the venous and lymphatic systems can also assist in disposal of the metabolic waste that results from activity and can accelerate the recovery period.
In injury rehabilitation focused massage techniques can be used for the breakdown of scar tissue, lesions or adhesions in or between soft tissues. Research has indicated that correctly applied massage techniques could contribute significantly to accelerated injury recovery and resumption of activity.

Occupational Health
Everyone at work will need to take sick leave at some time during his or her working lives and in most cases this lasts only a few days. Sometimes long term absence cannot be avoided causing devastating effects on business and personal finances.
The most common causes of musculoskeletal disorders at work are manual handling, poor positioning in relation to the elements of the workstation and repetitive movements. These will also severely exacerbate a problem acquired elsewhere thus increasing the likelihood of sickness absence.
Chiropody & Podiatry
Chiropody utilises the highest levels of evidence in the provision of effective diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of foot related health problems. Chiropody management consists of patient education, lifestyle modification, exercise therapy, and analysis of the structure and function of the feet in standing and moving positions.
