Drink lots of water:
Good hydration helps the inter-vertebral discs act as effective cushions
for the spine, protecting it from impact. It also helps the flow
of cerebra-spinal fluid along the spinal column. Aim to drink six
to eight cups of non-caffeinated fluid a day.

As a family practitioner with more than a decade of practicing, Doug
Ingrams treats patients of all ages and a wide variety of conditions.
"Chiropractic is the all-natural, non-invasive, safe and effective way of reaching your optimal health," explains Doug. "It can prevent future problems, no matter how old you are."
"The body is a very adaptable structure and as such it has a remarkable capability to compensate for disease and dysfunction. Because of this, pain is often the last symptom to appear. Chiropractors like me can uncover underlying dysfunction before it becomes painful and help you to be the best that you can be through chiropractic care, without drugs or surgery."

Doug graduated from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic in Bournemouth in 1996 and set up practice in Bristol shortly after, building his reputation in the city since. He believes in the importance of keeping up to date with the latest developments in the chiropractic field, attending regular seminars to learn new ways of maintaining the well-being of Bristol's health conscious residents. As a well-respected professional, Doug is a full member of the British Chiropractic Association, The College of Chiropractors and registered with the General Chiropractic Council.
With a friendly, welcoming manner and the authority you would expect from his many years of practice, Doug prides himself in putting even the most nervous patients at their ease and, most importantly, getting results - enabling those who seek his services to lead healthier day to day lives.

Ben began his Master of Chiropractic Degree at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic and transferred to complete it at the University of Glamorgan in Wales. He also completed a BSc in Psychology at the University of Auckland.

He is passionate about Chiropractic and the current research into this and other health disciplines. He has a special interest in the upper cervical region (right at the top of the neck) and their relationship to headaches, migraines and optimum health.
Ben’s initial experience of the Chiropractic Adjustment was when he was 13 years old- his mum had just started running the office in a Chiropractic clinic and he popped along for no particular reason. He noticed that his daily scratchy, sore throats disappeared overnight and that changed his direction from wanting to become an MD (Medical Doctor) to becoming a DC (Doctor of Chiropractic). Early on, he put his experience down to ‘curing’ or ‘treating’ recurrent sore throats, but that soon changed as he realised that his nervous system was simply working at its optimum level was able to fully function without interference.
Ben has practised in Cornwall and Essex before relocating to Bristol. He is registered to practise in the UK by the General Chiropractic Council, and in New Zealand by the NZ Chiropractic Board. He is also a member of the College of Chiropractors.
