About Erik Rudberg, licensed chiropractor in Spånga

My name is Erik Rudberg and I have been a licensed chiropractor since 1985. I see patients at my clinic at Sundbyvägen 91 in Spånga.

I help patients with both acute and long term problems in the back, neck, hips, muscles and joints. What I care about most is finding the right cause, so you know what you have and what you can do yourself.

Erik Rudberg’s training and licence

I trained at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic (AECC) in England and have been a licensed chiropractor since 1985. Chiropractic is a licensed healthcare profession in Sweden, supervised by the National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen). This means I am bound by patient confidentiality, keep medical records and follow the same rules as other licensed healthcare staff.

I am a member of the Swedish Chiropractic Association (LKR).

Experience

Over my years as a chiropractor I have worked at places such as Spine Center and Sollentuna Rehab, in teams with other back and joint specialists. Since then I have run my own clinic in Sundby, Spånga. In total there have been more than 90 000 patient visits.

How I work

The examination comes first. At the first visit we go through your symptoms, your medical history and any earlier tests, such as X-ray or MRI. Then I examine you and explain what I find.

Treatment is adapted to you. It may include manual treatment, advice and exercises to do at home. The goal is to reduce your symptoms, improve function and help you back to an active everyday life.

I refer you on when needed. If the examination shows that something else needs looking into, I recommend it or refer you to another care provider.

My motto is simple. The right diagnosis and a strong back for life.

• Headache possibly linked to the neck

Research

I am a co-author of two studies on chiropractic in Sweden, carried out with the researcher Charlotte Leboeuf-Yde and published in 1997. Swedish chiropractors interviewed just over 600 patients in total. One study described which patients see a chiropractor and what treatment they receive. The other looked at which reactions are common after treatment. They were usually mild and passed within a day.

I like to share what I know

On my YouTube channel and on Instagram I explain common problems and show exercises. Longer explanations are under Articles, and in my newsletter Axis Signals I write about what the back, neck and hip are telling you.

I also help employers who want a clear path when back and neck problems affect work. Read more under For employers.

I see patients in Swedish and English.
