ProSpinal is an osteopathy and musculoskeletal clinic based in Hale, Altrincham, providing a combination of hands-on care, rehabilitation and technology-assisted treatment.

Corrective Pain Relief and ProSpinal share a strong emphasis on high standards of clinical assessment, personalised care and appropriate treatment planning.

Our professional relationship also goes back to our osteopathic training, giving us confidence in the clinical standards behind the people we refer to.

By working together, patients can access treatment options that are not currently provided directly at Corrective Pain Relief, while maintaining a joined-up approach to their wider musculoskeletal care and rehabilitation.

Why ProSpinal?

✓ Trusted professional relationship
✓ Experienced osteopathic clinicians
✓ Advanced MSK treatment options
✓ Hale & Altrincham location
✓ Collaborative approach to treatment and rehabilitation

Many musculoskeletal problems respond well to appropriate conservative care, movement and rehabilitation. However, some conditions can be persistent, recurrent or more complex.

Where progress is limited, symptoms have continued despite appropriate management, or a condition may benefit from another treatment approach, additional options can be considered.

Depending on the individual presentation, this may include treatments such as IDD Therapy, MBST or Shockwave Therapy, or further investigation through diagnostic imaging and specialist assessment.

The appropriate pathway depends on the individual. A treatment being available does not necessarily mean it is suitable, which is why clinical assessment remains an important part of deciding what happens next.

IDD Therapy (Intervertebral Differential Dynamics) is a computer-controlled form of spinal decompression therapy designed to apply targeted distraction forces to specific areas of the spine.

ProSpinal provides IDD Therapy as a non-surgical treatment option for selected patients with persistent spinal and disc-related conditions. Their clinical process includes assessment and, where available, consideration of relevant imaging before determining whether IDD Therapy may be appropriate.

ProSpinal describes IDD Therapy as an option used in the management of presentations including:

• Disc bulges and herniated discs
• Sciatica and nerve-related symptoms
• Degenerative disc disease
• Persistent lower back pain
• Persistent neck pain
• Some spinal nerve-root compression presentations

IDD Therapy is not appropriate for every spinal condition. Suitability should therefore be determined following appropriate clinical assessment.

Magnetic Resonance Therapy for Musculoskeletal Conditions

MBST is a technology-based treatment that uses therapeutic magnetic resonance and is offered by ProSpinal for selected musculoskeletal and degenerative conditions.

ProSpinal offers MBST in relation to presentations including osteoarthritis, joint and cartilage injuries, sports injuries, degenerative disc disease and osteoporosis.

Unlike hands-on osteopathic treatment or exercise rehabilitation, MBST is delivered using specialised equipment over a planned course of treatment.

As with any treatment option, suitability depends on the individual condition, medical history and clinical assessment. Corrective Pain Relief does not provide MBST directly; where it may be worth exploring, patients can be directed to ProSpinal for further assessment and information.

Treatment for Persistent Tendon & Soft-Tissue Problems

Shockwave Therapy uses externally applied acoustic waves and is commonly used within musculoskeletal healthcare for selected persistent tendon and soft-tissue conditions.

ProSpinal provides Shockwave Therapy for a range of musculoskeletal presentations, including:

• Achilles tendinopathy
• Plantar fasciitis
• Tennis elbow
• Golfer’s elbow
• Patellar tendinopathy
• Hamstring tendinopathy
• Greater trochanteric pain
• Rotator cuff tendinopathy
• Calcific tendinopathy

For some patients, Shockwave Therapy may form one component of a broader rehabilitation programme rather than replacing movement, strength and progressive loading.

This fits closely with Corrective Pain Relief’s approach of combining appropriate treatment with rehabilitation and helping patients return to everyday activity, exercise and sport.

Advanced MSK treatment options may be considered across a range of spinal, joint, tendon and sports-related presentations depending on the individual diagnosis, severity and response to previous care.

The appropriate treatment depends on the individual presentation. Assessment helps determine whether continued conservative care, rehabilitation, diagnostic imaging or referral for another treatment option may be appropriate.

Our relationship with ProSpinal is built around professional trust and complementary care.

When someone presents to Corrective Pain Relief, the priority is to understand their symptoms, clinical history, movement and goals. Many patients can continue with osteopathic treatment and rehabilitation at CPR.

Where another treatment option may be worth considering, we can discuss whether referral to ProSpinal would be appropriate. Likewise, patients may return to Corrective Pain Relief for ongoing movement and exercise rehabilitation where this complements their wider treatment plan.

The aim is simple: to help each patient access the right care rather than trying to provide every treatment under one roof.

Whether treatment involves osteopathy, IDD Therapy, Shockwave Therapy or another appropriate intervention, long-term recovery often involves more than a single treatment technique.

At Corrective Pain Relief, rehabilitation may consider:

Flexibility – restoring comfortable movement and mobility.

Strength – developing strength, stability and physical capacity.

Posture & Movement – improving how the body manages the demands of everyday life, work, exercise and sport.

Treatment and rehabilitation can therefore work together, with the approach adapted according to the individual’s condition and goals.
