Services
Chiropractic Treatment
Our chiropractic care addresses neck/back pain and musculoskeletal issues through spinal manipulation and manual therapy. Using NICE guideline-aligned techniques, we relieve joint stiffness, muscle spasms, and nerve-related pain. Patients receive posture advice and rehabilitation exercises to prevent recurrence while our evidence-based approach ensures safe, effective treatment for both acute and chronic conditions.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy sessions combine massage, ultrasound, and targeted exercises to treat soft tissue injuries and mobility issues. Dawn Cornforth specialises in post-injury rehabilitation, using sports massage and therapeutic techniques to restore function. This approach complements chiropractic care by addressing muscular imbalances and enhancing recovery through supervised exercise programmes.
Sports Massage
Sports massage services target athletic injuries and muscle tension through deep tissue techniques. Andy Cook delivers sessions that improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and enhance flexibility for both professional athletes and recreational exercisers. Combined with posture correction advice, this treatment prevents sports-related injuries and optimises physical performance through tailored rehabilitation plans.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments utilise fine needles to stimulate healing and alleviate chronic pain conditions. Integrated with conventional therapies, this technique effectively manages sciatica, migraines, and joint pain by releasing natural painkillers in the body. Patients benefit from reduced inflammation and improved mobility as part of our multidisciplinary approach to musculoskeletal health.
Rehabilitation Exercises
Personalised rehabilitation programmes develop strength and flexibility to prevent recurring injuries. Supervised by qualified trainers, these exercises target specific muscle groups affected by spinal issues or sports injuries. The clinic's facilities support postural retraining and core stability work, ensuring patients achieve long-term improvements in mobility and functional capacity.

Couldn't recommend this place more highly. It's a clean, welcoming practice, the chiropractors are highly skilled and have helped with not only my back problems but with chronic migraines too. In a post covid world, the fact that everything is cleaned down between patients, temperature checks are carried out and there is hand sanitizer everywhere makes it a comfortable place to visit.

I have had 2 sessions here. Whilst the team maybe be friendly, the treatment seems lazy.
Having forked out over 100 I would expect more than a single neck crack and some fingers gently held into places on my back that did nothing. I expected realignment, stretches and plenty of pops. I got nothing really
I got a few exercises emailed to me.
Lazy practice.

I had never been to a chiropractor before and was lucky that I had booked in with Gemma, who immediately made me comfortable. She explained the process and everything that she was doing and I felt relaxed while also feeling like I was being listened to (it's hard to describe a bad back but Gemma paid attention and was very knowledgable). Over 5 sessions I can honestly say that my lower back has never felt better and I haven't had a flare up or pain. If it does come back I will be heading straight back to Gemma!
