Betty is our most senior patient at Cliffs at 100 years and what an inspiration to us all. We love her. Betty has been a chiropractic patient for 25 years, initially coming for back pain …
She responded well to treatment for her back pain as the majority of patients do. Betty now attends for relief to her Hiatus Hernia.
This is a condition that is common in the over 70s where part of the stomach and stomach acids pop above the respiratory diaphragm. The diaphragm is also a muscle and treatment aims to gently reduce the stomach hernia by pulling it below the diaphragm muscle ‘ring’ and tone up the muscle. This specialised technique can be very effective and may be combined with taking a form of liquorice to coat the oesophagus protecting it from stomach acids reducing the effects of heart burn.
You are never too old or young to receive chiropractic treatment. At Cliffs Chiro we tailor each patient’s treatment to their individual needs with treatment that is gentle and effective for your age and for your needs.
