Blog 94 – We’re ready to put a spring in your step!

At Cleve Chiropractic, we always like to be at the forefront of medical technology. So, in partnership with FoothealthUK–fit4U, we have become a \’microlab\’ for the scanning, prescription and printing of custom orthotics and insoles.

We have purchased and are using what is, in effect, a posh 3D printer with a special composite to create bespoke insoles, sandals and flip flops.

These insoles are so unique to the individual’s special requirements that we look not just at scanning the 3D image of your feet, but also how they’re performing and coping with everyday life.

Do your arches collapse? Do you struggle to bend your big toe? Do you have plantar fasciitis or heel pain? Do you have mechanical issues with your feet that you suspect could affect problems higher up in your body – for example knee, back and neck pain? Are you getting Achilles problems when you are running?

This machine can even design insoles for high heels, football boots and work shoes! As a special microlab, we now accept scans from all over Bristol and the wider UK, so why not come to us directly. All of our practitioners are trained to help you, so book in now to take advantage of a special introductory rate on offer for a limited time.

While you’re thinking about getting out and exercising in the springtime, this could be the perfect way to ensure that your feet are behaving themselves – this is such an important aspect of health and fitness to get right.

Talking of fitness at the very highest levels, we’re honoured to have been selected to work with the athletes at this year’s Commonwealth Games, which are taking place in and around Birmingham during July and August.

I’m so pleased that Cleve Chiropractic colleagues Catherine and Lucy and me will be part of the star-studded Games ‘family’. We’re looking forward to the fantastic experience that working with elite athletes at a major event always provides.

Back at the grass roots level, Dele – another of our talented staff members – was recently selected to help out at the GB Indoor Masters Track and Field Championships. He had a great time treating some of our athletes and using his well-honed chiropractic sports skills trackside.

Dele is a former Welsh international 100 metres sprinter and it won’t be long before he makes the transition to Masters athletics. We think he\’s a little older than he looks but he still has the game! 

Fun fact: in the clinic, Dele\’s sprint prowess has helped him smash the record for fastest person to the biscuit tin…

But seriously, Dele could be the perfect partner to help with all your sports chiropractic requirements. He has gained an International Certificate in Sports Chiropractic (ICSC), which allows him to treat athletes at the highest level of their sport.

He understands the drive and ambition it takes to compete at your best and the chiropractic treatments that can make sure you achieve your potential. By tailoring individual treatments and rehabilitation exercises, Dele is passionate about helping you achieve your goals.
