| The clinic was established in 1988. In addition
to providing general chiropractic services, we also provide expertise
in some special interest areas:
Sports injuries
Past associations of the clinic with Derby County Football Club
and Derby Rugby Club have contributed to the successes of both clubs
by helping to keep players performing at their maximum potential.
Chiropractors of the clinic have also attended National and International
athletic meetings and we are currently chiropractic advisers to
Derby Athletic Club.
However, we are not only consulted by elite sportspeople. Our expertise
is increasingly sought for injury prevention, rehabilitation and
performance enhancement by people, of all abilities, who engage
in sport and physical activity for recreational and health purposes.
Physical activity promotion
Physical activity has been associated with reduced rates of death
and ill health from many diseases. However, in the UK, 70-90% of
men and women are insufficiently active to achieve health benefits.
In recognition of this, the Government has set a target to get 70%
of the population ‘active’ by the year 2020.
In line with Government Health Policy, Littleover Chiropractic
Clinic actively encourages people to increase their physical activity
levels:
The clinic produces ‘A calendar of Local Running, Cycling
and Walking Opportunities’ which lists over 150 events taking
place within a 20 mile radius of Derby. The calendar is intended
to help ordinary people, across a broad age and fitness range, find
opportunities to increase their activity levels. There is no requirement
to be a member of any cycling, walking or running organisation in
order to participate in the events listed. For more details, e-mail:
