Often a large amount of time during our day is spent in poor posture, whether this is being sat down at a computer for work or leisure, on the sofa watching television, in the car during our commute or looking down at our phones.
This means we need to take a proactive approach and make a continuous effort to keep our spine functioning optimally so we can feel great and be pain free. Chiropractors, through a combination of adjustments, exercises and education can give you the tools you need to keep your body at its best.
Our bodies have evolved over many years and our spines are a fundamental component of that evolution. The ability to efficiently distribute load and stress evenly across the body is among the spines’ many functions, bad posture can hinder the body’s ability to do this which leads to certain structures of the body being subjected to more stress than others.
Over time this can cause joint wear and muscles to get tight, inflamed, painful and even into spasm. If bad posture is left untreated then eventually the vertebrae in your spine will adapt and change structurally, making reversal very difficult, sometimes impossible. With Chiropractic care we aim to restore your posture to the best of our ability to allow your body to function optimally.
Those who spend a long time at a desk, in a car, on the sofa, looking down at a phone can develop Anterior shoulder and forward head carriage. Down the line, this can contribute to what is called a ‘dowager’s hump’ at the top of the thoracic spine, putting strain on the muscles of our neck and shoulders as they work overtime to hold our head up. This can increase tension and tightness across the tops of our shoulders.
Those who spend long periods on their feet can sometimes develop an exaggerated lumbar lordosis. This is because using the same set of postural muscles for hours at a time without rest causes the muscles to fatigue, leading to a compromised position which usually involves resting on our joints. This increased curve through our lower back causes us to put more pressure on our discs, making disc herniations more likely.
This is a very common question and often a concern for people yet to experience chiropractic. People who seek our help are often in pain and each person will have a different tolerance and threshold for pain.
As Chiropractors, we understand this and are experienced in tailoring our approach to the patient. For this reason the first session will always be very gentle so we can gain an understanding of what works for you in order to make you as comfortable as possible whilst receiving the treatment.
Ultimately nothing we do should be painful so please inform us if you are experiencing pain whilst being treated and we can use an alternative method to treat the area.
We’re extremely proud of our successes and work hard on our reputation.
I had shoulder pain from a climbing injury. Josh has been working with me to get me back to full fitness. He not only helped with the pain but gave me strengthening exercises and advice for how to keep my body at its optimum. Thoroughly recommend Josh as he is clearly passionate about sports and helped to fix and improve my abilities. It was important to me to become pain free without drugs and Josh made this happen!
Josh treated me for upper back and neck pain when I was at college sitting in front of my laptop writing my dissertation for hours on end and made the whole thing more bearable! He is a really personable guy and a very capable chiropractor. Definitely recommend.
Hands down out of all the chiropractors I have been to, Josh has a certain unique skill which puts him at Number 1
A great chiropractor, completely sorted my headaches and neck pains. 10/10 would recommend
Having been treated by several other chiropractors I went to Josh on recommendation. I cannot fault the treatment I received - friendly, knowledgeable and professional, but above all effective. Thank you for easing my pain where others failed.
Josh has helped me with a rotator cuff injury and tension headaches. I feel like I'm in good hands as he's approachable and takes the time to listen. Would fully recommend
As a delivery driver I often get back pain from being sat in the van all day. I’ve had 4 sessions with Josh so far and really notice the difference. The clinic is easy and convenient to get to from High Wycombe and offers free parking.
I would highly recommend Brooks Chiropractic if you are seeking a chiropractor in High Wycombe. Josh is knowledgeable, professional and personable.
I was recommended to visit Josh by my daughter. Josh was very knowledgeable when reviewing my medical reports that I brought with me from doctor. He identified the issue and gave advice for both a bespoke treatment plan and exercises I can do at home. He was very sensitive with my injury and knew exactly how to adjust me without pain.
I have been seeing Josh for several weeks now and honestly going into this I was very sceptical about how they could help me. I’ve had chronic back pain for years. Josh has been fantastic, very informative and not only has the pain subsided following sessions I’m a lot more conscious of my posture etc and making the effort to correct bad habits. I cannot recommend Josh highly enough.
I visited Joshua recently as I was dealing with lower back pain, which was mostly present when lifting weights at the gym. The treatment has definitely helped, and I feel I am able to keep my form better whilst squatting & deadlifting too. I am happy to continue my treatment with Joshua and I will be recommending friends with similar issues to get the same help here.
I Met Josh at Juniparty at Juniper Hill School, I decided to book an appointment because I’ve been suffering with back\neck pain and bad posture but thanks to regular appointments at Brooks Chiropractic I feel a million times better! Josh has helped me no end and I would highly recommend his services.
Josh has worked wonders, with a thorough assessment at the start, and a targeted course of treatment. Shoulder and neck pain after years have now been sorted, and exercises should help maintain that. Highly recommended!
I have used several chiropractors during my life and Josh is by far the best. He is dealing with my lower back pain and headaches/migraines effectively with a bespoke plan.Josh is professional, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and keen to help. He has also given me exercises to do at home which are really beneficial. Highly recommended.
After a thorough evaluation I was pain free in 2 sessions. Dr Brooks was exceptional, I would highly recommend.
So pleased I found Brooks chiropractic, Josh is a very friendly and professional guy who has helped to fix my lower back pain,his ongoing program of stretching and strengthening exercises enables me to be pain free ,I couldn't recommend him enough.
So pleased I found Josh! I was suffering with neck pain which Josh assessed and made a treatment plan for. 4 weeks in now and my neck is so much better. Highly recommend.
Went in to see Josh with painful shoulder - which only surfaced when hitting high backhands with force in tennis and squash. Had the pain for maybe 3 months. After 3 or 4 treatments over 3 weeks it’s now as right as rain.
I highly recommend Josh. I had severe neck pain when I found his practice on Google maps. After initial consultation he fixed the problem within three sessions and I happily continue treatment to improve and maintain my posture. I live in Bourne End so I am glad the practice is close and that he will stay local to the area. Before COVID I’ve had treatment for almost 3 years at Halsa Burnham and later Maidenhead but the frequent change of chiropractors really put me off.
I would highly recommend Brooks Chiropractic to anyone looking for treatment. Josh is highly skilled and professional and makes you feel at ease from the moment you meet him. After many years of discomfort and pain from not looking after my body properly from 30 plus years in the building trade I can honestly say Josh has worked wonders and the improvement is unbelievable from where I was at the start. I’ve tried various things in the past but gave up as there didn’t seem to be any improvement but found Josh and haven’t looked back. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
I've visited Josh Brooks since the summer for lower back and general poor posture. It's always pleasure and never a chore - I think that both the adjustments and the exercises he has given have been of value. He is a genuinely a lovely bloke and I am sure all his clients agree that he is good both technically as a chiropractor and at making people feel at ease. Thanks Josh.
I was experiencing very painful spasms in my leg and buttock. After thorough testing and questioning, Josh embarked on weekly treatment sessions, supported by a programme of home exercises. This quickly banished the pain and strengthened the affected and other muscles. I highly recommend Josh as a very professional, knowledgeable and friendly practitioner.
I've been seeing Josh at Brooks Chiropractic for 6 weeks now and can honestly say it's the best Chiropractic care I've received to date. Having suffered with back and neck problems for over 20 years, what Josh has done is such a short space of time that other Chiropractors couldn't over years of visits, is astonishing. My range of movement is now 100% and my core strength is being built up very very quickly. I cannot recommend Brooks Chiropractic enough
As a fitness professional it's difficult to find people you trust with your own health, understanding your body and how things should be done you often get left dissapointed by what is done to you. However Josh has transformed my spine, I didn't realise how much I needed my joints loosening, I assumed it was more of a muscular issue but Josh's hard work on my body has left me able to move better and also to free off my joints on my own between session! Highly recommend
