Presenter Pete Egerton returns to Station parade in Harrogate for a final time to chat to doctor Jason O’Connor for the latest episode of the O’Connor Chiropractic podcast.

Did you know that chiropractic dates all the way back to 19th Century?

The very first adjustment cured one man’s deafness and so of course, many thought it was the magic cure to ALL deafness… it wasn’t and still isn’t to this day.

However, as time went by, those practising chiropractic quickly discovered that it could help individuals with their overall health, even though at one stage, it was made illegal!

Jason is also getting set to celebrate 20 years as a chiropractor and loves nothing better than helping families across the Harrogate district…

Presenter Pete Egerton returns to Station parade in Harrogate to chat to doctor Jason O'Connor for the latest episode of the O'Connor Chiropractic podcast.

Jason is keen to stress that it's not one versus the other when it comes to natural health and medical health.

Both need to be used at different times, but natural health, such as chiropractic care, can, in many cases, prevent a person from getting to the point that they require medical health.

Natural health is "a vitalistic type care and medicine is more mechanistic."

Jason thinks where people are going wrong is that they try to use chiropractic care in a mechanistic way, when it was never designed to be so...

June is men’s health month and in this episode of the O’Connor Chiropractic Podcast, Dr Jason O’Connor discusses how chiropractic care can go a long way to helping men and their families, keep on track with their health.

The biggest killer for men under 50 is suicide and the for the over 50’s, heart disease. Dr Jason and his team can discuss chiropractic care with you and the benefits it has both physically and mentally.

A lot of men are reluctant to get their prostate checked and sometimes, the earliest signs of prostate cancer can be lower back pain.

Dr Jason can work with you on getting the spine in better health, resulting in better functioning nerves that supply so many areas of the body.

Have a listen and then if need be, discuss with O’Connor Chiropractic – the family wellness centre. Afterall, talking is key…

We're back with another episode of the O'Connor Chiropractic Podcast with family chiropractor Dr Jason O'Connor.

This month, Dr Jason discusses the pitfalls of buying the wrong type of supplements, or poor quality ones.

Modern farming has drastically affected the quality, in some cases, of our everyday foods and so although it’s always better to get nutrients from natural foods and good quality produce too, supplementation is sometimes necessary and can have certain benefits.

Dr Jason discusses Vitamin D, Turmeric, Omega 3 and probiotics... Don't miss it!

In this episode of the O'Connor Chiropractic podcast, Dr Jason details the difference between Chiropractic care, physiotherapy and osteopathy.

In some cases, there are similarities, but how O’Connor Chiropractic is set up, a patient could go for their initial consultation and Jason and the team would then advise what course of action is best, or which specialist is best to see.

Dr Jason also warns of the pitfalls of self-diagnosing and in some cases, people have attempted to adjust their own necks or spine by simply watching a YouTube video!

Dr Jason O’Connor is back with another episode of the O’Connor Chiropractic Podcast – and today we’re stripping it back and talking about how your chiropractic journey would look should you become a patient.

So how could chiropractic care help you – and what would it involve?

In this episode of the O’Connor Chiropractic Podcast, our focus shifts to the elderly and how chiropractic care can help with common issues experienced during old age.

Dr Jason O’Connor talks adjusting patients who are suffering with osteoarthritis or osteoporosis and discusses slowing down the process.

We also talk about lifestyle changes that can be more taxing on the brain than puzzles and crosswords for elderly people, potentially fending off brain issues.

In this episode of the O’Connor Chiropractic Podcast, we’re back with Dr Jason talking about all things back pain.

We’re finding out about the root cause of lower back pain and why it might occur - oftentimes because of underlying issues rather than just one incident when gardening or getting out of the shower!

Dr Jason talks about the common tendency to ignore symptoms and treat issues with painkillers and temporary fixes, rather than find out about what is the true cause.

We draw comparisons with self-treatment when it comes to back pain - something we wouldn’t dare do with our teeth or even our car - and the importance of checking your body is functioning optimally.

Why do we tend to get sick at this time of year? Believe it or not, it's not the climate...

Dr Jason O'Connor from O'Connor Chiropractic tells us all about how a change of habits as we get towards the festive season are causing illnesses, and how this ties in with physical, emotional and chemical stresses.

A lack of sunlight and exercise at this time of the year plays a massive part in our immunity and we find out how chiropractic care can help.

Just how important is sleep when it comes to your overall health? Dr Jason O’Connor is talking sleeping positions, mattresses, pillows and just how much it can affect your sleep.
