What is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome?

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of genetic connective tissue disorders. It affects how the body produces collagen, the protein that helps hold everything together, from skin and joints to internal organs.

For people with EDS, joints may be overly flexible or prone to dislocation. Skin can be soft and fragile, and daily life may include chronic pain, fatigue or digestive problems. Every person’s experience is different, which is why personalised care is so important.

How chiropractic may help

Chiropractic care will not fix EDS, but it can offer meaningful support.

We take a gentle, adaptable approach that respects the needs of people with EDS. Care may help to:

  • ease joint and muscle pain
  • ease muscle tension and spasm
  • support posture and body awareness
  • help you feel more able to relax

We avoid any high-force or uncomfortable techniques and use Network Spinal, a gentle approach tailored to your body and your comfort.

Your experience with us

Trust and safety matter, especially when you are living with a complex condition like EDS. That is why care always begins with a thorough consultation, where we take time to listen and learn about your health, your history and your goals.

If we believe chiropractic care is appropriate for you, we will create a plan that works with your body, not against it. You are always in control, and we explain everything as we go.

Questions people ask

Can a chiropractor help with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome?

Chiropractic care will not fix EDS, but gentle care may help with related muscle and joint pain and tension. We use Network Spinal, which involves light touches rather than high-force adjustments.

Is chiropractic safe if I have hypermobile joints?

We avoid high-force techniques and adapt everything to your body and comfort. We start with a thorough consultation, and only recommend care if we believe it is appropriate for you.
