Chiropractic Treatment
Our core chiropractic care focuses on manual spinal adjustments to alleviate pain and improve musculoskeletal function. Using evidence-based techniques, we treat back pain, neck pain, and joint issues through precise manipulations. This non-invasive approach helps restore mobility and promotes natural healing for patients seeking drug-free pain management solutions.
Diagnostic Ultrasound
We utilise advanced diagnostic ultrasound technology to visualise muscle, ligament, and tendon structures in real-time. This non-invasive imaging technique enables accurate diagnosis of soft tissue injuries without radiation exposure. Our chiropractors use these detailed images to develop targeted treatment plans for optimal recovery outcomes.
Shockwave Therapy
Our Swiss Dolorclast shockwave therapy delivers high-energy acoustic waves to treat chronic musculoskeletal conditions. This evidence-based treatment stimulates healing in affected tissues and effectively addresses shoulder, knee, and foot problems. Clinical studies support its efficacy in reducing pain and improving mobility for persistent injuries.
Osteoporosis Screening
We offer specialised screening for osteoporosis using advanced diagnostic equipment to assess bone density and strength. This crucial service helps identify brittle bone disease in its early stages, enabling preventative measures and appropriate treatment planning for at-risk patients.
Paediatric Chiropractic
Our certified paediatric chiropractors provide gentle, age-appropriate treatments for children. This speciality addresses developmental concerns and musculoskeletal issues in a nurturing environment, supporting healthy growth and addressing childhood postural challenges through safe, non-invasive techniques.

I had 5 session with Manual Cabrera back in February 2020, I didnt feel any benefits from his sessions were very short always in hurry to do another job outside the chiropractic clinic.He seems to me not even qualified unfortunately. Waste of money to be honest. There was a good a chiropractor his name is Gareth Slade who saw me back 2018 .

I've used osteopaths and chiropractors for the last 40 or so years. Suffice to say that I now use Hugh at Clifton Chiropractic and no one else. Hugh has a rare mix of knowledge which stretches across many ailments which allows a level of care which is very hard to match. I've never had such a thorough assessment or had so much insight into my underlying issues. Keep up the good work and see you soon.

Really welcoming and friendly staff, the most thorough diagnostic I've ever had in my many years of trying to heal my back and very professional modern diagnosis equipment. Hugh is very thorough and has a more holistic approach than other back specialists I've encountered which I appreciate.

Such a fantastic Practice! The atmosphere is extremely professional yet warm and welcoming; I feel like I'm known personally by the receptionists . Great treatments which have been thorough and really helped my back, neck and shoulder problems. One of the things I like best is the supervised and tailored rehab gym sessions, held in the basement, which are strengthening and reinforcing all the adjustments made by the chiropractors.

Even after just two meetings, I have felt reassured by David Wells that his chiropractic treatment, along with all the core strength training I am already engaged in, will eventually lead to positive results. I have been greatly impressed by his knowledge, thoroughness and professionalism. David is a friendly and approachable person who puts his patients at ease. Thank you.
