He is great at picking up when and where I'm feeling stresses and strains in my body and treats me accordingly. I go on a monthly basis for regular check ups and can always tell when I am due to visit. I am always greeted in a friendly manner and Danny always has time for a friendly chat which makes it a very relaxed visit every time. I can not recommend Crawley Chiropractic Centre highly enough.

After years of suffering from a neck injury, exacerbated by arthritis, I visited my Dr with an…read moreongoing problem of a trapped nerve. It was suggested that I visit Mark. By the second of my visits the trapped nerve was no longer a problem and Mark could get to work on the many problems that had accumulated over the last twenty years since the accident that had caused my neck injury. One such problem which became very much an overriding issue was my tennis elbow and it was obvious, given its severity, that this was an issue that had to be addressed before others could be tackled. I was very surprised when I was told that I could be helped with the use of acupuncture which Mark could administer. This is an ongoing condition which has gained some relief from receiving this treatment. So it's not just the manipulation of ones limbs but also acupuncture that is available at Mark's practice.

Low back pain and sciatica…read more We've all heard it before, somebody bends forward, either to brush their teeth or pick up a pencil and bam, there goes the back then a little while laterthe leg as well! As chiropractors low back pain is one of the most common complaints we see, followed by what is generally know as sciatica. What is sciatica? Sciatica is a broad based term which means pain in the sciatic nerve. There are many causes of this type of pain and possibly the most common is a disc prolapse. The discs are the cartilage like 'jam donuts' which are situated in between each of your spinal bones and are there for easy spinal movement and shock absorption. When too much pressure has been applied to a particular area of the disc, some of the disc material tears or bulges out. This then causes localised inflammation which then presses on the nerve root, and most commonly this nerve root will go on to form the sciatic nerve which supplies the muscles, joints and skin in your leg. People tend to assume that because the pain surfaced after one particular movement, then that's how long the problem has been there for. However that is a common misconception; disc's bulge, due to repetitive faulty motion in the back over months or years. The mechanics around the area begin to de-stabilise until that area can't take any more pressure. Then that final (often very simple) movement is the straw that breaks the camel's back. What about taking pain killers or muscle relaxants? Pain killers and muscle relaxants can dull the pain, especially when the muscles around the affected area tighten up. However, these are not treating the actual problem. By not correcting the faulty mechanics or addressing the cause of the problem the actual spinal dysfunction remains. Ice is a great alternative to painkillers as it works locally on the area and has none of the unwanted side effects that many medications have. Most disc and low back problems are easily corrected by chiropractic - by ensuring the local mechanics in the area are working properly the inflammation around the nerve root can be decreased relatively quickly. However, for the actual disc material to be heal back into the 'jam donut' takes a lot longer anywhere between 6 months to 2 years. It is important to realise that the main cause of low back and sciatica are lifestyle choices the most common ones are poor posture especially when at a desk or doing a faulty movement pattern over a long period of time. These problems never happen suddenly. Therefore it is important to get a work place assessment or come to one of our health classes! Considering most people spend most of their lives at work nowadays it's important to make sure that work place ergonomics are correct. Little changes here and there can make all the difference between being able to go to work or having to call in sick for a week because you're back has 'gone'. Regular spinal check-ups are also a great way to ensure that your spinal mechanics are working properly.

I started visiting Dr Francois Hacault almost a year ago when my back was yet again causing me a…read morelot of pain. I was at a total loss of what to do and my GP couldn;t help me at all and an NHS waiting list would take forever. A friend recommended I see Dr Hacault and I haven't looked back. The pain didn't go straight away but soon I started feeling better and have been going very regularly since and I feel not only well but confident now that I can do things that I wouldn;t have dared to do before because I knew it would put my back out. In the last few months I have done a couple of things which made me think 'Oh no, I won't be able to move tomorrow!' and yet I was fine and I attribute this largely to the skilled and gentle hands of Dr Hacault. I now only have to go once a month and I will continue to visit Complete Chiropractic as often as necessary to maintain my back health. Also, somehow they manage to employ some of the best receptionists I've ever met, very friendly and really nice people. I would definitely recommend an appointment.

It's very convenient to have all these complementary therapies (massage, acupuncture, nutrition, chiropractic and more) options under the same roof. The clinic also host yoga classes and a pilates studio. Everybody is professional yet relaxed.
