What is Chiropractic?
Become Well Adjusted
Chiropractic is a primary health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, and the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health.
Over time, accidents, falls, poor daytime posture, unnatural sleep conditions, stress, lack of exercise and a host of other life events can cause spinal decay and damage.
This damage leads to pressure on the spinal cord, which in turn affects the health of your central nervous system and your overall health.
Our chiropractors use their hands to treat disorders of the nerves, bones, muscles and joints caused by this damage. Your chiropractor will use a range of techniques, with an emphasis on adjusting the spine. They will also offer advice on diet, exercise and lifestyle, and rehabilitation programmes that involve exercises to do in your own time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take?
For your initial consultation and examination you need to allow approximately 45 minutes. This allows time to fill out any necessary paperwork, and also gives our chiropractors adequate time to perform your examination, and answer any questions you may have.
Does it hurt?
Our Chiropractors use a range of techniques suited to your body and symptoms to help make your adjustment more comfortable.
Do I need to see my GP. before making an appointment?
Chiropractors are primary health care practitioners, this means you can make an appointment without requiring a referral from your GP.
Can I bring my child to my appointment?
Yes! We are a family-focused practice which means at least 40% of our patients are kids. We have plenty of toys, books and colouring pages to keep the kids occupied whilst in the clinic to attend appointments.
How old does a child need to be before they can have Chiropractic care?
Children can be checked right from birth. This is particularly important if forceps or ventouse have been used during delivery, or a caesarian has been performed.
Is Chiropractic covered by ACC?
Yes, all of our Chiropractors are ACC registered. We can provide you with the paperwork to complete if needed when you come in for your appointment.
Will I need an X-ray?
After your examination, your Chiropractor will advise you if x-rays are considered necessary. This recommendation will be based off of your examination findings. We have a state of the art digital x-ray machine located on site for your convenience.
Can you have Chiropractic care if you are pregnant?
Chiropractic care during pregnancy is important as it helps to prepare the body for a good pregnancy and birth. There are a range of techniques and positions that we can adjust you with to make it as comfortable as possible for you. X-Rays will not be performed if you are pregnant.
Where do I park?
We have 4 off street car parks based at the front of the building and 11 car parks located down the drive.
