Andrew is ticked off….
Hedgehogs are increasingly rare in the UK. My girlfriend does her very best to hep them prosper by taking in under-weight young hedgehogs and keeping (and feeding) them through the winter. Sometimes the hogs are in poor shape when they turn up so they need some help, including tick removal. In this video Andrew talks […]
Do you want to see my holiday pictures?
We got back from our holiday in Scotland a few weeks ago. Here are a few pictures…..
It just went \’pop\’!
When describing how her back pain started, one of our patients said \’it just went pop\’! Find out what happened, and why, in this video!
What do your shoes say about you?
Maybe it\’s middle-age, or something, but I\’ve taken to walking quite a lot more in recent months. I really enjoy the loop out from Abingdon via the Marina, into Sutton Courtenay (to see my parents) and then back to Abingdon via Sutton Pools and Culham. It\’s a great bit of exercise! I looked at the […]

I thought it was a fantastic piece of research showing how it is possible to regain your health by changing your eating habits. […]

Some neck problems need radical treatment!
Chiropractors see many patients with neck pain from sports injuries. Sometimes these patients have arm pain too, due to nerve compression. Physical treatment and rehabilitation is the normally best way forward for most of these patients. However, a small number of these patients need more radical treatment, surgery, because they have compression of the spinal […]
Do the Dutch have stronger legs than us?
Did I tell you that I was going to Maastricht last weekend? They have very tall houses there and loads of stairs. I was staying on the very top floor of my friends house, and lost count of how many steps there were to get up there. My thighs were burning by the time I […]
