Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating mechanical health issues through spinal adjustments. This non-invasive approach alleviates pain, improves mobility, and supports the body's natural healing processes. Ideal for patients seeking long-term wellness without surgery or medication.
Back Pain Treatment
Specialised treatments for back pain address spinal misalignments and muscle tension. Using manual adjustments and therapeutic exercises, we target the root cause of discomfort, offering lasting relief for chronic or acute back pain sufferers.
Neck Pain Relief
Neck pain relief involves targeted adjustments to improve spinal mobility and reduce nerve irritation. This service addresses issues from poor posture, injuries, or degenerative conditions, restoring comfort and range of motion.
Headache Therapy
Headache therapy utilises chiropractic techniques to relieve tension and improve nervous system function. By addressing spinal imbalances, we reduce the frequency and severity of migraines and tension headaches naturally.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Sports injury rehabilitation combines chiropractic adjustments with rehabilitative exercises to accelerate healing. This service helps athletes recover from sprains, strains, and joint injuries while preventing future complications through improved biomechanics.

Would highly recommend. Very friendly place and Dr Fripp listened to my issues I have been having and provided me with treatment straight away and home exercises which have helped improve my back weaknesses. Couldn't fault the company or the staff.

Superb. Dr Fripp really quickly diagnosed and solved a problem with my neck that was not only causing me a lot of persistent discomfort, but also stopped me from being able to rotate my head when cycling and looking behind for traffic. Every step of the way the treatment was clearly explained to me. I would definitely return to Active Health should another issue arise.

After fall from a height in South Africa, I was diagnosed with 8 broken bones, spent 3 weeks in hospital and had constant back pain, which was put down to having 5 broken ribs.
5 weeks later after a wedding in Cornwall, the pain was so bad, paramedics were called out at night and I had to take to a wheelchair for the rest of that holiday. On returning home I contacted Active Health for an initial 20 consultation with x-rays, it was very thorough. 2 days later I returned and was shown to have a fractured Thoracic vertebrae. A gentle plan was put in place to keep the muscles relaxed, to enable

Originally went to see Pete with lower back pain which he sorted out for me and have been going to him every 6 weeks for maintenance of good health and to sort out other problems which crop up every now and then. I have every confidence In Pete who is friendly and efficient (as are all the staff I have had dealings with) and have recommended him to many friends and family.

Highly recommend this practice. I personally saw Ross who was fantastic and showed his expertise on my lower back injury but I'm confident that all the staff are amazing. I experience any pain or injury I'll call Active Health. Excellent service.

Great experience in sorting radiating pain up and down my leg. Excellent patient care from Ross from initial consultation and treatment through to a maintenance phase. Did a great job of explaining mechanisms behind the pain and the treatments.
