Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic treatments address musculoskeletal issues through manual adjustments and personalised care plans. Specialising in neck pain, back pain, and sports injuries, we help patients of all ages achieve better mobility and pain relief. With over 37 years of experience, our certified chiropractors use evidence-based techniques to treat the root causes of discomfort rather than just symptoms.
Acupuncture
This ancient healing practice combines traditional Chinese techniques with modern understanding of pain management. Our expert acupuncturists treat conditions ranging from chronic pain to anxiety using fine needles to stimulate energy flow. The treatment helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote natural healing processes in the body through targeted meridian point stimulation.
Massage Therapy
Our therapeutic massage services address muscle tension and promote relaxation through various techniques including deep tissue, pregnancy, and sports massage. Each 45-minute session targets specific problem areas while promoting overall wellbeing. Treatments help improve circulation, reduce stress hormones, and enhance recovery from physical strain or athletic activity.
Psychological Therapies
Led by Dr Chnanis Ladha, our psychological services combine cognitive behavioural therapy, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness techniques to address anxiety, stress, and emotional wellbeing. These sessions help patients develop coping strategies, improve sleep patterns, and achieve better mental balance through a combination of talking therapies and practical exercises tailored to individual needs.
Sports Therapy
Designed for active individuals, this service combines sports massage, rehabilitation exercises, and performance enhancement techniques. Our therapists work with amateur and professional athletes to prevent injuries, improve flexibility, and accelerate recovery from sports-related injuries. The programme includes tailored stretching routines and biomechanical assessments to optimise physical performance.

Dr Shannon Leach has helped in no uncertain terms after I hurt my back carrying out a very simple task. It has taken me somewhere in the region of 6 months to have the condition and pain alleviated. I am still carrying out simple tasks/ instructions given by "Shannon" and no doubt it will take a few months yet before I am 100%. Many, Many thanks Riverside!

I've been attending James for several months now. He has been brilliant from the beginning and is not just 'doing his job', but is genuinely interested in my injury history and how he can help me achieve my goals. I turned to RCC following unsuccesful treatment at another local Chiropractic Group. James' treatment has really helped me and his chiropractic treatment is much better than some of my previous experiences. He is very honest and always positive, this has made me feel better and I actually look forward to my treatment. Would definitely recommend James to anyone looking to overcome any

Have just had our second baby chiropractor visit to Dr James Noble for my 6 month old baby and I wish I had went sooner! After our first session my baby sat up for the very first time that afternoon and was able to roll both directions which was something she had been struggling to do since learning to roll! Her feeding has also been much better and enjoying playtime a lot more. The appointment itself was fairly quick and Rhea enjoyed most of it apart from a small bit of discomfort which was soon forgotten about once she was back in mums arms! I feel like its all totally worth it for the difference
