Back, neck and nerve pain: what people come to us with
Lower back pain
It aches after a day at the desk or a long drive, catches when you bend, or makes mornings stiff. We look for the cause first, then explain what can be done about it.
Neck pain
A stiff neck that is hard to turn, or pain that spreads into the shoulder or between the shoulder blades.
Sciatica and disc problems
Pain that runs from the lower back into the buttock and leg. If you have an MRI or X-ray, bring it with you.
Headaches from the neck
Headaches that start at the base of the skull, often worse later in the day or after long hours at a screen.
Pins and needles
Tingling or numbness in an arm, hand, leg or foot. Worth having checked.
What it can meanPosture and desk work
Rounded shoulders, a tired back by the end of the day, a laptop on the sofa instead of a desk. We work on the body and suggest small changes to how you sit and move.

What happens at your first visit
No rush. You leave knowing what is going on and what to do next.
Your story
Where it hurts, how it started, what makes it better or worse, and what you have already tried. Bring any MRI, X-ray or doctor’s reports.
Safety checks
We ask about the signs that need a doctor rather than a chiropractor, such as the red flags listed further down this page.
Examination
Simple tests of movement, strength and sensation to find where the problem is coming from.
A clear explanation
What we found, what we think is behind it, and what your options are, in plain words.
Treatment, if suitable
If chiropractic care suits you, treatment can start at the same visit. If it doesn’t, we say so and suggest who to see.

Pins and needles, numbness or tingling in an arm or leg
These are nerve symptoms. Often they come from a nerve that is pressed or irritated where it leaves the spine. Sometimes they don’t, and that is exactly why an examination matters.
From the neck into the arm
An irritated nerve root in the neck can cause tingling, numbness or pain in the shoulder, arm, hand or fingers. Sometimes the arm bothers you more than the neck itself.
From the lower back into the leg
In the lower back, the same thing can send symptoms into the buttock, leg or foot. When they follow the path of the sciatic nerve, this is called sciatica.
Where you feel it is a clue
Each nerve root supplies its own strip of skin, so the exact place you feel the tingling helps show which level of the spine may be involved. The examination then checks movement, strength and sensation.
Not every case starts in the spine
A nerve can also be squeezed at the wrist or elbow, and conditions such as diabetes or low vitamin B12 can cause tingling in the hands or feet. Some of these causes need a doctor first. If your symptoms don’t fit a problem we can help with, Dr Zano will tell you and suggest who to see.
Tingling that won’t settle?
Have it examined in Nicosia. If it isn’t something for a chiropractor, we will tell you.

Questions about the Nicosia clinic
Anything else, just ask. Call or message us on +357 99 433537.
Do I need a referral from a doctor?
No. You can book directly. If you have an MRI, X-ray or letters from your doctor, please bring them.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Any scans you have (MRI, X-ray or CT) with their reports, letters from doctors, and a list of the medicines you take. Wear clothes you can move in comfortably.
Do you treat sciatica and disc problems in Nicosia?
Yes, we see back pain with leg pain, sciatica and disc problems in Nicosia. At the first visit Dr Zano examines you and checks for signs that need a doctor first. If chiropractic care suits you, he explains the plan and how many visits he expects you to need. If it doesn’t, he tells you and suggests who to see.
Is chiropractic safe? Who should not have spinal manipulation?
For most people with back or neck pain, chiropractic care after a proper examination is a reasonable and generally safe option. Some people feel mild soreness for a day or two afterwards, much like after exercise. Spinal manipulation is not suitable for everyone, for example after a recent fracture or serious injury, with severe osteoporosis, with an infection or tumour in the spine, or when nerve symptoms are getting worse quickly. That is why we examine you first. If manipulation is not right for you, we will say so and talk you through other options, or refer you to a doctor.
Can I have acupuncture or dry needling in Nicosia?
Dr Zano uses acupuncture and dry needling alongside chiropractic care when they suit the problem. If you would like needling at your Nicosia appointment, mention it when you book so we can confirm. Both are also available at our Limassol clinic.
Which language are consultations in?
Consultations are in English. Dr Zano can also do a basic consultation in Russian, and he replies to messages in Russian on WhatsApp and Telegram: +357 96 117140.
