Services
Back Pain
Personalised treatments for back pain combine advanced techniques with tailored care plans. We focus on spinal alignment to relieve pressure, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility. Our approach addresses both immediate discomfort and long-term health, using manual adjustments and rehabilitation exercises.
Sciatica
Targeted sciatica treatments identify root causes like spinal misalignment or disc issues. We use gentle adjustments and therapies to alleviate nerve compression, reduce pain, and promote natural healing. Long-term strategies prevent recurrence and improve mobility.
Posture Correction
Posture assessments identify imbalances causing strain. Corrective treatments include spinal adjustments, muscle relaxation techniques, and ergonomic advice. This service reduces discomfort and prevents future musculoskeletal issues through improved alignment.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy enhances blood flow, relieves muscle tension, and supports recovery. It complements chiropractic adjustments by addressing soft tissue restrictions. This ancient technique aids pain management and improves circulation for faster healing.

I visited Rob Bateman following recommendation from my brother. I attended several times over a few months. I found the treatment for my lower back pain improved my symptoms. He was very professional and I wouldhighlyrecommend him.

Absolutely fantastic !! It's so difficult to know who to go and see with a bad neck of back ...well this is the guy ! I had been to the GP they are useless and 2 physiotherapists I'm self employed and had been off work for weeks ,I didn't want more tablets or wait 3 weeks for an appointment with a headache or pain guy or be told to not sit all day at a desk anymore ...what I liked about dr Bateman and chiropractors is they actually do something to solve the problem ! And it works ! can't recommend this guy enough !!!
