Services
Chiropractic Treatment
Our chiropractic treatment focuses on diagnosing and managing musculoskeletal conditions, particularly spinal disorders. Using manual adjustments and evidence-based techniques, we alleviate pain, improve mobility, and promote nervous system function. Tailored to individual needs, this service addresses acute and chronic issues, offering long-term relief for conditions like lower back pain, neck pain, and migraines.
Sports Massage
Sports massage enhances recovery and performance by targeting muscle tension and soft tissue injuries. Our therapists use deep-tissue techniques to improve flexibility, reduce scar tissue, and increase circulation. Ideal for athletes and active individuals, this service complements chiropractic care to address sports-related injuries and prevent future strains.
Diagnostic Ultrasound
Diagnostic ultrasound provides real-time imaging of soft tissues, aiding precise diagnosis of musculoskeletal conditions. This non-invasive technique evaluates tendons, ligaments, and muscles to guide effective treatment plans. Available onsite, it ensures rapid, accurate assessments without radiation exposure, supporting targeted interventions for chronic or acute injuries.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy delivers high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in chronic tendon injuries. Clinically proven for conditions like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow, it accelerates tissue repair and reduces pain without surgery. This non-invasive option is ideal for patients seeking rapid recovery from persistent musculoskeletal issues.
Spinal Rehabilitation
Spinal rehabilitation strengthens stabilising muscles to prevent recurring pain and injury. Our programmes combine targeted exercises, posture correction, and manual therapy to restore function and endurance. Designed for post-treatment maintenance, this service ensures long-term spinal health and reduces reliance on ongoing interventions.

I have just had my fifth treatment at the Chelmsford chiropractic clinic after suffering from severe lower back pain. The care I have received has been excellent from the first appointment. There has been a gradual improvement after every visit and most importantly Ive been given a confidence that my problem will be resolved. The clinic itself is immaculate, with very friendly staff and excellent Covid measures. Would have no doubt in recommending to others.

MIKE THE MAGICIAN!
Mike is a magician, wizard, genius, life saver! I've seen every chiropractor, osteopath, physio, you name it, for the last 10 years and not one of them has managed to cure my ongoing shoulder, neck and leg pain.
Mike dug deep to look for issues that could be giving me the annoying pain I had been suffering for a long time, this involved numerous tests and nutrition checks. I've been seeing Mike for roughly 3-4 months and can safely say he has cured my pain and also taught me a lot about nutrition which has led to weight loss and feeling a lot better mentally and physically

Very pleasant and calm surroundings. After the first treatment by Mike my back was greatly improved and after the second visit I am pain free. Will definitely return should I need treatment in the future. Thank you.

As a long term client, I have always been able to rely on receiving professional advice and treatment for the realignment of my back. The staff are always friendly and the premises is very welcoming. Always very reassuring to feel safe in receiving treatment in these difficult times.

The staff are very welcoming and put you at ease straight away. I have seen Dicken a few times in the last couple of weeks and I am so impressed with his knowledge and willingness to answer and explain any question I may have. I look forward to each session and am confident I will continue to see and feel a lot of physical improvement.

Absolutely fantastic treatment, I've been walking around with a twisted spine for years and within 2 sessions I have been realigned and I feel amazing. Great value money, reassuring and professional service. I couldn't recommend it enough.

Excellent service, was seen very quickly after I contacted them with back pain. Had a thorough first examination followed by treatment. Laura was very good and explained what she was doing and why, after the second session I felt better and have continued to improve with regular sessions with her. Would not hesitate to recommend this clinic, Laura has got me feeling human again !!!
