Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractors use the Diversified Technique to realign joints, reducing pain and improving mobility. This hands-on approach targets spinal and musculoskeletal misalignments, promoting natural healing. Patients receive tailored adjustments during private sessions to address specific conditions like back pain or sciatica.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Myofascial release and trigger point massage alleviate muscle tension and spasms. This therapy focuses on connective tissue and muscle knots, enhancing circulation and recovery. Ideal for sports injuries or chronic stiffness, it complements adjustments for comprehensive pain management.
Dry Needling
Trained chiropractors use thin needles to release tight muscle knots, easing tension and inflammation. This optional, no-cost treatment targets myofascial pain, often benefiting patients with headaches or sports injuries. It integrates seamlessly with other therapies for enhanced outcomes.
IASTM
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation employs tools like activators to break down scar tissue and muscle adhesions. This technique improves mobility and reduces pain, particularly effective for chronic conditions or post-injury rehabilitation when combined with manual therapies.
Sports Massage
Tailored 60-minute sessions address sports injuries, muscle tension, and recovery needs. Therapists combine deep tissue work with stretching to enhance flexibility and performance. This service caters to athletes and individuals managing everyday muscle strain or postural imbalances.

Adam is an absolute pro. His diagnosis was spot on and his treatment very effective. He takes great care to focus on addressing the cause, and not just the symptoms.

I have visited the practice a few times now, each time Ive had different kinds of treatment. Always having great results. Super friendly atmosphere with great staff, who take the time to talk about your queries, who listen and then go into depth about what they will initially do in the session. Extremely knowledgable!

Ive had many chiropractic treatments from Neil and massages from Wendy. I can honestly say they are both amazing and skilled at what they do. Not only do I physically feel better after my treatments but Im so relaxed and happy. Ive recommended them numerous times to friends and family and I will continue to do so.

I have been using City Chiropractic for about 6 or 7 years now after injuring my lower back in an accident at my work. The pain seems to raise its head about twice a year. I am treated by Neil Cruickshank who I think is the senior partner in the clinic and he certainly knows how put me at ease and to get me back in shape. Sometimes I have turned up at the clinic unable to bend over to put my socks on and after a couple of visits I have felt that good that I could climb Arthur's Seat, O.K. I might be exaggerating there but I certainly feel an awful lot better after each visit. So if you are looking

Have been seeing Neil for over 3 years now. Back pain now negligible and my hip issues with regular treatment and different alternative therapies now manageable. Such a relief after seeing others before with much less impact. Have referred family and friends too and all with good things to say. Great regular fix and great coffee shop next door too!

Excellent treatment at city chiropractic (& at Borders chiropractic). Provided a very flexible approach to my treatment & I was able to have chiropractic treatment, acupuncture, ultrasound, & massage in the same appointment, if needed. Pam listened to my areas of concern but took a holistic approach, and identified other related problem areas to work on. Also advised on stretches and strength exercises for me. I've found Pam great for treatment of specific injuries and issues, as well as for more general MOT-type appointments. Best chiropractic care I've encountered & this is number 6. Worth every
