Living With Aches and Pains? By Melanie Cutting DC, MCC MNIMH Is pain affecting the quality of your life, stopping you from walking far or going out?

Do you regularly take painkillers to get by?

“I wish I had tried chiropractic sooner”, is one of the phrases we hear often.

Our approach is simple!

1. In one visit find out if we can help you.

2. Give you fast and effective relief that lasts.

3. Offer convenient appointment times for all.

AND if we can’t help we will tell you.

So don’t delay make today the first step to recovery.

Every day people attend a local clinic who once thought they had to live with pain, pain they thought was normal or were told could not be helped for some reason. Many “put up with stiff and achey joints” hoping they will go away. Well why not join the thousands of patients at The Cliffs Chiropractic Clinic who have benefited from their care.

Here is what a few of the patients have said, “Before seeing the chiropractor I would find it hard to get out of bed and was in pain for about 1-1.5 hours each morning.

Now- no problem! Thank you."

Mr. B. Blissett.

"The Clinic assessed me, diagnosed me and put me on a plan of action and during this time my problems were resolved. The Clinic has given me a new lease of life."

Mrs. M. Bush. " A thorough examination identified my problem. Since having treatment and maintenance the lower back pain is a distant memory."

Mr. B Linton.

"After many weeks of scepticism, I was soon feeling the benefits, and your candid explanation of the mechanical issues I was suffering, and how they would be rectified and maintained made good logical sense, and since then I have been mostly pain free enjoying life with very little compromise."

Mr. A. Haken.

How can The Cliffs Chiropractic Clinic help improve the quality of your life?

Chiropractic is a healthcare profession that focuses on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, with special emphasis on the spine. They aim to find the underlying cause of your pain and discomfort providing a long-term solution, using gentle adjustments to ease pain and increase mobility.

Onsite digital x-rays can aid diagnosis, which leads to accurate treatment and faster recovery times.

The Cliffs Chiropractic Clinic offers more than manipulation.

They are unique in offering a package of care, which also encompasses medical acupuncture, remedial massage, exercise, nutrition and lifestyle advice. Combining these therapies they are able to offer the best treatment options for YOU.

o Excellence in Chiropractic Care o Modern Friendly Environment o Your Questions Answered Openly and Directly Years Of Experience.

The Cliffs Chiropractic Clinic aims to be able to help you achieve your goals. Established in 1994, this family run clinic is Southend’s oldest and most experienced clinic.

Arif Soomro, Melanie Cutting and Paramjit Nandhra are the clinics team of dedicated professional chiropractors with a wealth of 54 years experience and knowledge between them.

“We take great pride in the quality of our care, treating our patients as we would wish to be treated. Our aim is to relieve pain in a fast and effective way. We offer excellence in chiropractic care for individuals and families, in a friendly and modern environment. With regular advice you will understand and learn how to care for your joints and spine, enabling you to live your life to the full”.

Police across the Southend district are currently cracking down on burglary, and want the public’s help.

Detective Inspector Mark Tyler said: “Burglary is the type of crime that can have a lasting impact on its victim’s lives.

Not only does your personal space get violated when you are burgled, but your hard earned possessions are stolen and, sometimes, some of these items are sentimental and can never be replaced.”

Every day, officers across Southend, Leigh, Westcliff and Shoebury are out on the streets taking action against suspected burglars, but police need the public’s help in the continued war against burglary.

DI Tyler continued: “There are several steps that you can take to reduce your chances of being burgled. We would also strongly recommend that landlords communicate this crime prevention advice to their tenants as otherwise they could end up footing the bill if entry is forced to one of their properties.”

• Make sure all accessible windows and doors are locked at all times • One of the most common problems we see when attending burglaries is that people think they have locked their door properly, but actually haven’t - if you have a uPVC door, throw the handle upwards, lock it with a key and remove the key and store it somewhere safe and out of sight.

• If you go out and it will be dark on your return home, leave the lights on a timer switch or leave a radio on to make the property appear occupied.

• Avoid having valuable items on view from the street. Store car keys away from the front door in a safe place.

• Consider installing a burglar alarm or security lighting. However, burglary prevention needn’t be expensive – a noisy gravel path or some thorny planting under windows will help deter the opportunist burglar.

If you have any information about who is committing crime in your area, call the Essex Police non-emergency number on 0300 333 4444 or call Crimestoppers in confidence on 0800 555 111.
