Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractors diagnose and treat musculoskeletal disorders through manual adjustments. This evidence-based approach restores joint mobility, alleviates pain, and improves nervous system function. Patients benefit from individualised treatment plans addressing back pain, neck pain, headaches, and sports injuries through non-invasive techniques.
Paediatric Treatment
Specialised chiropractic care for infants and children addresses developmental asymmetries and supports optimal growth. Gentle techniques correct spinal misalignments affecting nervous system development, helping with issues like feeding difficulties, sleep disturbances, and motor skill development while ensuring comfortable, safe treatment for young patients.
Pregnancy Care
Our pregnancy-specific chiropractic treatments address biomechanical changes during gestation. Using the Webster Technique, we improve pelvic alignment to enhance foetal positioning and reduce labour complications. Specialised equipment enables comfortable treatment throughout all trimesters, addressing common discomforts like back pain and sciatica.
Sports Rehabilitation
Combining chiropractic adjustments with McKenzie therapy accelerates recovery from sports injuries. This integrated approach restores joint mobility, strengthens supporting muscles, and prevents future injuries through tailored exercise programmes. Athletes benefit from improved performance and reduced recovery times for both acute injuries and chronic conditions.
Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese acupuncture complements chiropractic care by addressing pain and inflammation through strategic needle placement. Our practitioners use this technique to treat chronic pain conditions, stress-related disorders, and musculoskeletal imbalances, promoting natural healing responses and improved energy flow throughout the body.

Arthur has been enormously helpful in terms of both an ankle injury and a back problem. A colleague in the theatre world referred me and said he was brilliant, which turned out to be the case. Highly recommended.

I went to this clinic with my heel pain. The lady at the reception was incredibly helpful. I saw Paul Carless and he identified my problem straightaway and gave me an advice how to treat it. Excellent clinic, highly recommended! Will be definitely back.

I visited Elphick Clinic for neck and back pain and received excellent treatment from Luke. I felt much better after my first visit, and am very happy with the whole experience. Luke is thorough and knowledgeable, he gave me some exercises to do at home which are easy and effective, and tips on seating and posture. Recommended.

Can't speak highly enough of the Chiropractic treatment with Luke - after agony with Sciatic pain - after two weeks of treatment, at last progress, and I am able to get a night's sleep, and move around far more easily and quickly. Highly recommended.
