Chiropractic Treatment
Our chiropractic treatments focus on restoring proper joint function and nervous system communication. Using precise manual adjustments, we address misalignments that cause pain and restricted movement. Each 20-minute session combines spinal manipulation with soft tissue work to improve mobility and reduce inflammation. This evidence-based approach helps patients achieve lasting relief from chronic conditions and acute injuries.
Sports Massage Therapy
Specialised sports massage techniques target muscle tension and soft tissue restrictions. Our therapists use deep pressure and myofascial release to enhance recovery, improve flexibility, and prevent injuries. This treatment benefits both athletes and non-athletes experiencing muscular discomfort from daily activities or specific injuries.
Neurological Rehabilitation
Our neurological assessments identify imbalances affecting posture and movement patterns. Through targeted exercises and reflex testing, we retrain brain-body communication to resolve chronic pain. This approach addresses conditions like vertigo, balance issues, and persistent musculoskeletal problems that traditional treatments fail to resolve.
Whiplash Recovery
Comprehensive whiplash management combines spinal adjustments with neurological testing to address both physical and cognitive effects. We use gentle mobilisation techniques alongside visual exercises to restore normal brain function and prevent chronic pain following neck trauma from accidents.
Nutritional Support
Personalised nutritional guidance complements our physical treatments by addressing systemic inflammation. We provide practical dietary recommendations to enhance recovery and maintain musculoskeletal health. This holistic approach helps patients achieve better outcomes through lifestyle modifications that support long-term wellness.

Brilliant...after a few sessions with Steve I feel great. Having back, hip and leg pain was affecting mobility and my sleep and it was getting me down. Excellent service of manipulation, acupuncture and advice on exercises. No longer taking painkillers.
Steve was recommended by a family member and a work colleague. Thank you Steve....I feel 10 years younger

I had such a poor experience with this place I felt the need to get set up and post a review. I just needed some advice and so popped in and spoke to a very rude old guy with grey hair who couldn't have been less welcoming and I was unable to make my appointment. I have now been elsewhere but at this time in history I'm amazed that businesses treat their potential customers in this way so I certainly won't be going back. There are many good chiropractors in this area so I'd go to another one if I were you.

Steve is very good at what he does and went that extra mile for me and my health problems. He makes you feel comfortable and relaxed and his techniques over the past few weeks with my back pain has been very beneficial. Always on time, good friendly team. Highly recommend.

DO NOT visit this Chiropractor. Steve made an adjustment to my sons neck. Left him in extreme pain that still has not eased, then tried to charge to have it checked. Showed no compassion or understanding. Advised us to get a second opinion if we were not happy. Totally unprofessional. I would give no star rating, but the system will not allow. I find your response highly offensive. We took on board and acted on your suggestions. You called to check on my son, but this was almost six weeks later. I feel you suggested I saw another chiropractor as you were unhappy about my questioning your ability
