ChiroMotion

Hi I'm Alison, chiropractor and laser therapist at ChiroMotion.

Why did I become a Chiropractor?

After watching an equine chiropractor work wonders on my horse I knew it was something I wanted to explore more.

Why did you choose the McTimoney technique?

I loved the more gentle, whole body approach. As someone who's struggled with joint hypermobility and pain all my life this approach resonated with me.

Want to know more about the treatments before committing then book a free 15minute consultation via phone, zoom or face-face via whats app or www.chiromotion.co.uk

Great weekend at Options for Animals - Everything Canine CPD. Reviewing treatments, updating research and delving into neurology. Always lovely to catch up with friends and colleagues as well. Now back to reality of horses, dogs and noisy kids!

Clinic is now closed until the 14th Sept whilst we have a little re-paint and work on our new salt room

always fascinated by our body

Your lumbar spine doesn’t just control your back.

It runs the show in your legs.

Each nerve root has a specific job:

L1 → Hip flexion / groin
L2 → Hip flexion / upper thigh
L3 → Knee extension / inner thigh
L4 → Ankle dorsiflexion / inner leg
L5 → Big-toe extension / outer leg & top of foot
S1 → Ankle plantarflexion / outer foot & sole

When a disc, bone spur, or stenosis pinches one of these roots, patients feel it as pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in that exact pattern — not “just back pain.”

This is why a detailed neuro exam matters more than an MRI alone. The MRI shows anatomy. The exam shows what the nerve is actually doing.

Save this. Next time your leg feels “off,” you’ll know which root to pay attention to.

Work is well under way transforming my little candle workshop into a new exciting room for the clinic......follow the posts over the next few weeks to see what we're up to

The pool is now full for the canine hydrotherapy, so we can carry out all the checks in piping/plumbing etc.......not long now

Lovely day so far at whitacre and shustoke show. As always we've met so many lovely dogs and lily's put her bossy skills to use helping the mayor 🤣
