During his training he embraced the modern imaging techniques, that have become an important part of the diagnosis for patients attending the London Spine Clinic, writing a dissertation on Lumbar Intervertebral Foramina - An in vivo study of the anatomical changes in shape and cross sectional area in relation to flexion and extension as measured by open magnetic resonance imaging.

 

Nigel was an International level Squash Coaching professional for 15 years, giving over 25,000 lessons throughout UK, Europe & the Middle East, and discovered Osteopathy following a back injury moving house! Being self employed it was essential to get back on the squash court and was so impressed with the Osteopathic treatment and that with a knee injury threatening his squash that a new career was launched.

 

His time in the squash world exposed him to a varied spectrum of sports injuries, and has a personal interest in sports injuries, their treatment and rehabilitation, and is an active member of The British Association of Sports & Exercise Medicine.

​

Constantly working with innovations, when clinically proven, Nigel has introduced K-laser treatments into the therapeutic armamentarium. The laser can be used to reduce inflammation, in spinal (or other) joints and can be very effective in helping wound healing. It has been of proven benefit in helping healing for diabetic ulcers, a notoriously difficult problem.
