No sure what treatment to get or what they all mean?
Here is our quick guide to help.

For your first visit, you will need a full consultation which allows time for our practitioner to record your full history and complete any physical assessments. No matter how old, or what your present condition, this will help determine your needs and allow you the chance to share your goals and aspirations.

Sports Massage

This extends their remit to people rehabilitating from trauma, overuse, musculoskeletal conditions, chronic effects of vocational stresses, and other conditions. You can book in with one of our expert Physiotherapists on 0113 2900 310.

Chiropractic

Chiropractors are highly skilled in understanding how the muscular and skeletal systems work together and specialise in diagnosing conditions that affect the alignment of bones and impair muscle and joint function. Using touch, massage, stretching and manipulation of joints, and acupuncture, an chiropractor will promote wellbeing by relieving muscle tension and improving blood supply and nerve transmission. They will always treat the whole body, harnessing its self-healing abilities, rather than just concentrating on the site of injury. We have 3 expert chiropractors at The Lawrence Clinic. To book call 0133 2900 310

Dry Needling & Acupuncture

Dry needling and acupuncture may be used to release trigger points, stimulate healing processes, relieve muscle tension and alleviate pain or discomfort. These are safe forms of treatment, suitable for people of all ages involving minimal discomfort.
At The Lawrence Clinic, our practitioners use dry needling and acupuncture as part of their treatment form a range of conditions for back pain, neck pain, chronic muscle tension, headaches and pain relief. They will rarely use dry needling or acupuncture in isolation, preferring instead to combine them with other forms of manual therapy to match the needs of each person and achieve the best possible treatment
outcome. At The Lawrence Clinic, we will fully explain the use of dry needling or acupuncture and obtain your consent before proceeding.
