Welcome to The Pain And Injury Clinic
The Pain and Injury Clinic was established 15 years ago by Andrew Cunnington D.O. Registered Osteopath. The practice is on the edge of Halifax town centre opposite the clock of the Evening Courier building, with plenty of free on street parking and large nearby car parks with an inexpensive hourly rate.
We are a general practice treating principally musculo-skeletal problems. After taking a detailed case history including a history of all health problems past and present to ensure that no injury might result from treatment or that osteopathic treatment is appropriate at all, we will examine the affected area and the parts of the body that relate to it (this may involve the removal of clothing - click here for The Pain and Injury Clinic's guidelines on dressing for treatment). Once we have diagnosed and explained the problem to the patient, we start treatment which is by manipulation and articulation to improve joint movement and soft tissue techniques to improve quality and function of muscles, ligaments and tendons. Once we have improved the immediate problem we analyse any postural or structural failure that may have led to the problem arising in the first place. After correcting these we prescribe exercises that will stretch and loosen areas of tightness and strengthening exercises that will support areas of excessive movement which are often unstable and lead to recurrent injury.
In doing so we can improve many problems amongst which are:
Low back problems such as:- Siatica
- Lumbago
- Spondylosis
- Degenerative changes
- Thinning/worn discs
Neck/cervical problems such as:- Spondylosis
- Neuralgia
- Headaches
- TMJ/jaw pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Trapped nerves
Upper extremity problems such as:- Tennis elbow
- Golfer's elbow
- Frozen shoulder
- Tendonitis and tenosynovitis resulting from a Repetitive Strain Injury
Lower extremity problems such as:- Arthritic pain in the knee or hip
- Groin pain
- Muscle tears and strains, e.g. hamstrings
- Ligament strains around the knee and ankle
- Heel pain
- Pain from mechanical defects in the foot
