Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic treatments address musculoskeletal issues through precise spinal adjustments. We specialise in back pain, neck pain, and joint problems, using manual techniques to improve mobility and reduce nerve irritation. Each session includes posture analysis and tailored exercise recommendations to support long-term recovery and prevent future injuries.
Hypnotherapy
Combining clinical hypnosis with cognitive behavioural therapy, we help manage anxiety, phobias, and stress-related conditions. This evidence-based approach promotes mental clarity and positive behavioural changes. Sessions focus on building resilience and developing coping strategies for improved emotional well-being and daily functioning.
Prescription Orthotics
Custom-made insoles are designed to correct foot alignment issues and improve overall posture. We conduct gait analysis to create tailored solutions for foot pain, knee strain, and lower back problems. These orthotics help distribute pressure evenly, enhancing comfort during daily activities and physical exercise.
Back Pain Treatment
We address various back pain causes including disc problems and muscle strain. Treatment combines spinal manipulation with soft tissue therapy to reduce inflammation and restore mobility. Patients receive ergonomic advice and strengthening exercises to maintain spinal health between appointments.
Neck Pain Treatment
Specialised techniques target neck stiffness and headaches originating from cervical spine issues. Gentle adjustments improve joint mobility while muscle release techniques alleviate tension. We provide posture correction guidance to prevent recurrence of neck-related migraines and nerve compression symptoms.

As a fellow Chiropractor running my own busy clinic , I have received treatment for back and neck pain from Jamie Fraser - Nash for many years. His friendly but professional approach make it an excellent experience and always feel so much better after treatment - even though he and I both know it often takes several treatments to sort me out!! His clinic premises look very smart, and his receptionists are always very welcoming and efficient - both face to face and over the phone. I will always recommend this clinic to patients of mine who ask me about a chiropractor in the Bournemouth and Poole

I have been receiving care from Jamie on a monthly maintenance programme for some years, mainly for my neck & upper back although he has helped me through my rehab following a bunion removal & a wrist injury in the past. He offers advice, recommends exercises to do at home & the occasional anatomy & physiology lesson to help you understand your condition & treatment better !
Jamie is an excellent caring professional with a pleasant & friendly manner. I would also like to mention the lovely, helpful receptionists who always welcome you with a smile. I highly recommend the Amethyst Clinic.

After suffering with lower back pain and a creaking neck for some time a colleague recommended Jamie Fraser-Nash at the Amethyst Clinic as other therapies had proved ineffective. I am extremely pleased that I did as my symptoms have been ameliorated and I have been guided on a path to improving my fitness and strength. I now visit the clinic on a maintenance program, feeling fitter and more confident.
Jamie has a thorough and professional approach to his work and I have always felt that he has time for me. I have no hesitation in recommending the welcoming and friendly Amethyst Clinic to anyone

I had been told by the NHS that I was suffering from Sciatica and was being fed strong pain killers. A lot of pain killers! I am on heart medication for a blocked artery (now protected by a stent)that interrupted my so far healthy life in 2004 and so I can't take anti-imflamatories. After about a month I was not getting any better. I was getting more sleep because the medication was knocking me out and masking the pain. I became concerned because I run my own freelancing business and I was incredibly busy with a pipeline of heavier work looming. I was walking around with a walking stick like
