Small firms experiencing a tentative recovery, FSB statistics reveal
30/06/2009 by admin.
A comparison of FSB data collected over the past ten months suggests that the economic position small businesses are in is starting to improve since a low point at the end of last year.
A rising number of small businesses are now experiencing an increase in trade, with the latest poll showing 23 per cent of FSB members noticing a rise compared with 16 per cent in February.
By the end of last year, up to 40 per cent of small businesses had highlighted the cost of finance as a big problem. Now 25 per cent cite the cost of finance as a concern, which indicates that small firms are seeing a very gradual easing.
According to the latest poll, 68 per cent of business owners are looking to act on a rise in confidence and say they plan to grow in the next six months, with firms hoping to invest in new products, more staff and marketing.
Over half of respondents (57 per cent) said they were ‘quite confident’ about the future prospects of their business. The FSB is urging the Government to ensure small firms can be at the forefront of tackling unemployment by supporting apprenticeships, short-time working subsidies and increasing the thresholds before Income Tax and National Insurance contributions are payable, which would benefit employers and employees.
John Wright, National Chairman, Federation of Small Businesses, said:
“Small businesses are naturally flexible and innovative in recessions and these figures show that despite the very many negative forces on them, they are being cautiously optimistic and are looking to expand. Although we are certainly not out of the woods yet, many small firms are seeing increased footfall and finding it easier to obtain crucial finance in the winter months, when things were at their worst so far.
“The Government must look to small businesses to build the post recession economy and help them employ more people and ease the bureaucracy and tax burdens which many still face.”

Local chiropractic clinic welcomes new NICE guidelines on low back pain
09/06/2009 by admin.
On the 27th May the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) issued significant new guidelines to the NHS to improve the management of low back pain. The guidelines recommend chiropractic as an effective and safe treatment to manage low back pain. It is recommended that a course of manual therapy, including spinal manipulation, spinal mobilisation and massage, a package of care that chiropractors offer, can be very effective in improving back pain. The guidelines are written for people with non specific back pain,i.e. problems with the joints, discs, muscles , tendons and ligaments of the back.
The Chiropractic Clinic based in Garden Village Wrexham is one of the few private clinics in North Wales offering integrated musculo-skeletal care. In addition to chiropractic, the clinic offers acupuncture, physiotherapy, remedial massage treatment, as well as, Pilates classes. The clinic combines the expertise of a range of healthcare professionals in providing care for patients with a wide range of musculo-skeletal disorders. The clinic aims to provide safe and effective treatment of disorders including upper and lower back pain, neck pain, sciatica, whiplash, arthritis, shoulder pain, knee pain and sports and other injuries. All of the clinic practitioners have the highest level of UK qualification in their field and are fully registered by their own professional organisations.
“We welcome this significant development, which we hope will widen access to chiropractic treatment and look forward to working closely with local GP’ s to provide a package of care which will be of great benefit to patients suffering from back pain. This is the moment of time in which chiropractic treatment has at last been accepted by the mainstream medical community. The extensive research undertaken by NICE to establish the new guidelines confirms the effectiveness of chiropractic treatment for managing low back pain, a condition which is very common in Wales. Around 8 out of every 10 people are affected by it at some time in their lives which can be very distressing and have wide- ranging effects. Pain affects your mood, daily activities, sleep and ability to work. The guidelines suggest that a course of chiropractic treatment will improve back pain so that it has less effect on day to day life. I urge back pain sufferers to contact their local GP to discuss the how new guidelines can help manage their back pain. ”
Peter Wagenaar, Principal, The Chiropractic Clinic.
