Sunbury Chiropractic Centre was started by Nicholas J Oram in October 2006 and soon
expanded to incorporate the Glebe Street Chiropractic Centre in Chiswick when he
was invited to work alongside Drs Christine Gardiner and Mumuksh Patel at the Glebe
Street GP Surgery. The combination of medical and chiropractic treatment available
from one centre has proven to be very effective in the co-management of neuro-musculoskeletal
conditions. (NB Chiropractic is also available to patients who are not registered
at the Glebe Street Surgery.)
Sunbury and Glebe Street Chiropractic Centres offer an opportunity for everyone
in the community to experience and benefit from chiropractic. Patients of all ages, from new born babies to the elderly, can have
chiropractic care.
Chiropractic specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions which are
due to mechanical dysfunction of the skeletal joints, particularly those of the
spine, and their effects on the nervous system.
Chiropractic offers a safe, gentle and effective method of treatment which utilises
the body’s natural healing potential and is the most widely used complementary health
care profession in the world.
The Sunbury and Glebe Street Chiropractic Centres aim to use a holistic approach
to patient management including nutritional, ergonomic and postural advice to complement
the specific chiropractic treatment. Home exercises or advice on the return to work
and physical activity are provided to ensure a good long term recovery.
As a chiropractor, Nicholas was trained in radiography and radiology (taking and
reading x-rays) and is therefore qualified to refer patients privately to a number
of NHS facilities and other private practices / hospitals to have an x-ray or MRI
taken.
As a patient you will receive the highest standard of care and attention and will
be treated for your general health and well being, not just the symptoms that you
are
aware of.
The General Medical Council allows GPs to refer their patients to chiropractors,
supported by guide lines from the Royal College of General Practitioners recommending
manipulation for back pain (Clinical Guidelines for the Management of Acute Low
Back Pain, Royal College of General Practitioners, September 1996). Our policy is
to work closely with your General Practitioner.
