The flexiblilty and strength of a healthy spine is a curvy weight bearing support for your body, much in the same way as this suspension bridge moves and yet supports those persons who
walk across it's wooden slats or beams.
When we bend, lift, run, twist, jump, sit, stand, play sports, turn our heads, move... we apply forces to our spine and its' moving parts and supportive ligaments.
To maintain our best form, it is important that we preserve normal spinal alignment to prevent irritation of our spinal cord and nerves, which are housed inside the spine and skull.

Did You Know?
Chiropractic is the third largest doctoral level health care profession after medicine and dentistry.
The nervous system controls your body. When chiropractic subluxations interfere with this system, it creates "dis-ease" (loss of body harmony).
Although this condition is often painless, it can cause irreparable damage if it remains undetected or uncorrected. It also can lead to gradual erosion of health and well being.

Eddie completed a basic Certificate in Radiography in 2005, broadening his knowledge base and providing him another tool to add to the resources of our practice.
Additionally, he has taken over 250+ hours of Chiropractic Continuing Education as an adjunct to his already well developed customer service skills, after owning his own successful business for 28 years in Rathfriland, Co. Down, in Northern Ireland, which was well renowned for it's friendly service oriented attitude and high quality selection.
An excellent carer of people, Eddie was awarded the William Keown Trust Outstanding Carers Award for his excellent caring skills and service to another member of humanity. His smile will greet you over and over again, and he will strive to make you feel welcome!
What people are saying:
Many people wait to seek care until they have severe back pain or neck pain and then look for an effective treatment to rid themselves of the pain. The message is Don't Wait - get yourself under chiropractic care now for more ease and to avoid a longer recovery.
Sometimes by the time people reach the chiropractor they have tried many other forms of treatment and still suffer from the pain. That was the case for Cheryl Orr H., a patient of Dr Leah Remeika-Dugan.
Here is her story...
"I had suffered from a pain in my neck and shoulders for about two years and had tried the usual routes through the doctor and physio etc. but to no avail for me.
Then my brother recommended Dr Leah Remeika Dugan, as he was a patient under her regular care and said it really helped him.
From the first appointment, I felt comfortable with Dr Leah, although chiropractic was all new for me. I noticed an improvement from the outset not just in my neck and shoulders but I felt a release in my whole frame when I was walking or sitting down or gardening and even horse riding.
Previously, if I had over done things my back would have went into a spasm and stuck so I couldn't straighten up. I have never experienced that again since I began chiropractic care.
I was also privileged to meet Dr Leah's husband Eddie, who is a real asset and support to her within the business. They both make you feel very welcome, and I can assure you, you wouldn't experience anything else quite like their service and care!!!"

Here is another patient story of one of her patients, Mrs Paula Mahon, MBE
"I want to express my gratitude to Dr Leah Remeika-Dugan for all that she has done for my wellbeing and that of my family. I would particularly like to thank her for helping my daughter Kate who was left with no feeling in her legs from her waist to her knees and severe headaches.
Spending considerable time in hospital and being subjected to all sorts of medical tests including MRI scans and lumber punctures, Kate's condition still baffled her doctors.
For a considerable length of time she was given increasingly stronger drugs for her headaches and missed so much schooling. One visit to Dr Leah improved her condition and within a couple of visits the feeling returned to her legs and her headaches cleared up. I have total faith in Dr Leah Remeika Dugan, her treatment plans, and her outstanding professionalism.
Over the period of time that I have known her, I have also gotten to know her husband Edward who is a wonderful person and who is very supportive of her and all her work. They are without a doubt a perfect couple who support each other. When Edward was ill, Dr Leah was quick to recognise the symptoms and ensured he got the best medical care, and without her care and quick action and that of his surgeon, he may not be alive today.
I believe that people are very lucky to find her and be under her chiropractic care and that they make a great team both professionally and personally."

The next story is from another patient, Mr Robert L., skilled tradesman:
"As far as I'm concerned Dr Leah Remeika Dugan is 100%. I am one very satisfied and loyal chiropractic patient. When I came to her I wasn't walking, I was waddling, and now I know I should never have waited so long. It was down to my knees and I felt it in my hips, but I didn't even know it was coming from my spine and nerves. I've had a lot of experience trying to get treatment, and her chiropractic treatment is 100% bar none. I've told hundreds of others the same thing and I've sent loads of people to her - go to her (Dr Leah Remeika-Dugan), definitely!"
- Robert L., 2008
Another testimonial from a patient:
"The compliments are well deserved as finding a 'good' chiropractor is very difficult and I found that her style of treatment suited me.
She was only with us in Sheffield on a temporary locum at the time, but after she left, I looked for her for nearly two years, and finally found her website,
www.coolgreenplanet.co.uk
I am disappointed that she is no longer in Sheffield, but wish her all the very best.
She was the chiropractor for me."
- Annette C., UK Estate Agent, April 2008
Her colleagues also have something to say:
"Dr. Leah Remeika-Dugan has my highest recommendation as a chiropractic physician. Having worked with Dr. Leah, I quickly realised her competency and passion for the healing arts and to see people healed and renewed in their personal lives.
Combining her clinical thoroughness with her experience in medical and chiropractic clinics, she has an unusual confidence and ability to help people. Dr. Remeika-Dugan is an asset to any facility in which she works.
Since knowing her, it has become very evident that Dr. Remeika-Dugan has a special calling to practice her profession and offer her gifts to the people of the UK and Ireland.
I truly believe that given the opportunity, she will be an immeasurable blessing to those she touches. She will certainly continue to bless those she touches..."
- Dr. Patrick V. McClure, BS, DC, Chiropractor and Certified Hospital Chaplain
And...
"Dr Leah did an extended in house clinical with me over a decade ago for about a year, at the Springwater Trail Clinic.
I have had the pleasure of similar type clerkships with medical students (housemen) and have never had a medical arts person (she was the first trained chiropractor) in training who impressed me to the extent that Leah did.
She is a Registered and Licensed Chiropractor for a long time now, very impressive indeed.
I found her insights and general attitude and demeanor to be quite helpful during our relationship. And I would strongly recommend Dr Leah Remeika-Dugan to anyone and wouldn't hesitate to take my own family to her for treatment. I feel that the chiropractic profession is greatly enhanced by having Leah as a member."
