We’ve had another very busy week here at Alpha Chiropractic & Sports Injury Clinic, Hemel Hempstead. As well as treating loads of back pain, we have been busy treating some of our MMA fighters and getting them ready for upcoming fights. I find the irony of these fighters, both men and women, is that they will get their bodies and skills into such tip top condition, only to risk getting themselves injured during their bouts. Very interesting psychology. But I must respect and admire their dedication to their sport.

Back pain ranks highest as the most common condition we treat, keeping our chiropractor, acupuncturist and massages therapists busy. Injured knees, ankles and shoulders also come high up the ranks.

We have also seen a young concert violinist with repetitive strain of the forearms.
