The term Chiropractic stems from the greek words: "chiro" meaning hand and "practic" meaning practice. Throughout history prominent healers have understood a relationship between health and the condition of the spine, Hippocrates, for example, advised "Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases".
Chiropractic, as a healthcare profession, was founded in 1895 by Daniel David (DD) Palmer. He described his first spinal adjustment on a deaf janitor to whom he restored hearing after one adjustment of the upper spine. He then went on to use spinal adjustments to help with a variety of complaints and concluded that their effectiveness was based on eliminating nerve interference that was causing the patient's complaint.

I have had chronic back pain off and on now for over 20 years. Recently a friend advised me to go to the Octagon Clinic in Chiswick and they have changed my life. I see Karen on a regular basis who keeps my back balanced and flexible and i can now live a fully active and pain free life for the first time in years.

Had a brilliant session with chiropractor Hazel Dillon. She went through a really detailed history with me which made me feel safe that she had all the information about me, my body and previous injuries, before starting treatment. The treatment was very thorough and I discovered the route to a huge number of niggles and aches and pains. How could I not have ever known something like this until now?! After the treatment I felt really relaxed and quite zen'd out - she released a load of tension I didn't even know I was holding. I wasn't expecting such an effect just from my first time. Have re-booked
