There are many different types of back pain with different causes. There are many types of back pain which include:
- Mechanical back pain – Many people will suffer this type of pain. The pain is unrelated to any serious underlying condition and there are no trapped or compressed nerves. Muscles, joints and ligaments can all be involved. Mechanical back pain can be caused by poor posture, prolonged sitting in an uncomfortable position (such as an unsuitable workplace set up) and muscular tension due to emotional or work-related stress.
- Sciatica - pain that radiates down the leg due to the nerves in the lower back being irritated, compressed or trapped due to disc injuries, muscle spasms or age-related changes in the spine.
- Chronic conditions or herniated discs due to age-related changes in the spine and/or previous trauma.

Fantastic chiropractor – Sarah always sorts out my neck and back pain. I have referred other people to her who have been equally impressed with their treatments.
Annie
Professional, friendly, highly skilled local practitioner with oodles of experience and tonnes of techniques to ease virtually any ache, pain or injury you can think of! Sarah always finds time to fit me in when I need help and has saved my neck and back from painful restrictions many times. She uses a variety of techniques to help too, highly recommend!

Sarah was recommended to me when I moved to MK over 16 years ago. I’ve trusted her to look after my back ever since, which she’s done in a friendly and very professional manner. I’ve recommended her to a number of friends and family, who have also been very pleased, and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again. Thank you Sarah!
Carol Swann
Sarah has got me and a dodgy knee through 2 marathon length charity walks pain free. She has a professional yet friendly approach talking you through the treatment plan and providing clear guidance on additional exercises to do between treatments. I have and do recommend her to anyone seeking a chiropractor.
Sheshela
An absolute god send. Bulging disc nerve damage – drs cannot help you have without doubt. Thank you so much truly for everything
Janine Freed
Over the last 15 years Sarah Richards has changed my life for the better. When I first started with back issues I struggled to do every day things and was in constant pain. Sarah identified the problem areas and treated them accordingly, this helped me to continue as a full time HGV driver. Excellent customer experience every time, my best investment in myself.
Tony Critchley
I have been seeing Sarah for many years now (only every 3 months now for a top up)and I truly believe my lower back treatment has made a huge difference. I don’t even think about my back now whereas before I started seeing Sarah it felt like a constant struggle. I have my life back – thank you

Couldn’t tell if chiropractic treatment was suitable for my issue, from a lot of research online. This became a catch-22 as I needed help but was apprehensive about spending money on something ultimately unhelpful. Sarah was the only chiropractor in the area who took the time to respond to queries via email with honesty, and in the end kindly offered to meet and talk so I was better informed. While Sarah recommended a better-suited route of treatment for me, I am still leaving a review. Since it is such a privilege these days to come across someone honest and evidently highly experienced, who actually listens and takes concerns seriously.
Guy Harper
Highly recommended. Treatments are fantastic! Just as much as Ms Richards is
Kyra Shaan

Amalia Wyatt
Excellent service. Gutted I moved a few hundred miles away, which is the only reason you will find to stop seeing Sarah. After she helped me recover from the worst of my sciatica, the less regular maintenance appointments helped stop a serious flare up. Any flare ups were down to me pushing my luck, more often than I should have. I never felt judged by Sarah. Even though it meant I saw her less she recommend pilates to help me improve my core strength and posture. If I get a big win on the lottery I’d consider bribing her to relocate. Having an excellent chiropractic in your local area us priceless.
