Chiropractic
Chiropractic treatment focuses on spinal health and nervous system function. Our practitioners use manual adjustments to improve joint mobility, alleviate nerve irritation, and enhance overall wellbeing. This drug-free approach addresses back pain, neck pain, and musculoskeletal conditions through evidence-based techniques. Patients benefit from individualised care plans developed through comprehensive consultations and physical examinations.
Sports Therapy
Specialised sports injury treatment combines chiropractic care with soft tissue therapy. Our practitioners hold postgraduate sports chiropractic qualifications and have experience working with professional athletes. Treatment includes injury assessment, rehabilitation exercises, and performance enhancement techniques. We address acute injuries and chronic conditions affecting sports performance and recovery.
Massage Therapy
Professional massage therapy addresses muscle tension and improves joint mobility through various techniques. Our certified therapists use remedial, deep tissue, and sports massage approaches tailored to individual needs. Treatment helps relieve stress, improve circulation, and complement chiropractic adjustments for enhanced recovery and pain management.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatment involves precise needle placement to stimulate healing and pain relief. This traditional technique complements chiropractic care by addressing musculoskeletal pain and promoting natural healing processes. Practitioners integrate acupuncture with other therapies for comprehensive pain management solutions.

Report
A very professional service from my first session with Freddie who diagnosed my acute lower back pain and treated it accordingly bringing some relief. I have a further 3 sessions booked and after the 2nd session this week the relief of the acute pain is disappearing with every session which is very welcome indeed. The reception staff are welcoming and friendly and the chiropractor staff are the same. Very clean and hygienic building which is kept immaculate, well done to all staff, I would certainly recommend this practice to my friends & family.

Report
I had never visited a chiropractor before so I was a bit nervous going in as I wasnt sure what to expect. On entering I was greeted by a lovely receptionist lady who was chatting to me whilst I filled out the paperwork. When I went in to see my chiropractor Joe on my first visit he explained everything very thoroughly to me and was very calm and professional. For my first treatment he knew I was nervous and he checked with me at all stages to see what I was comfortable with. Every treatment thereafter we gradually increased the treatment intensity as I got more comfortable with it.

I have been a patient of Sykes Verwey practice for many years. During which time I have been a patient of Frank Verwey And then Ewen Merry. After Ewen retired earlier this year I required a replacement chiropractor that spoke the same language and that would treat my ongoing back issues with the same care and medical approach that I have received in the past.
Freddy is just the person for the job. I felt at ease and the treatment he gave was just what I needed. Thank you Freddy
