Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic treatments address musculoskeletal conditions through manual spinal adjustments and joint manipulations. This evidence-based approach improves mobility, reduces nerve irritation, and promotes natural healing. Patients benefit from individualised treatment plans addressing back pain, neck pain, and sports injuries while receiving expert guidance on posture correction and preventive care.
Shockwave Therapy
Radial and focused shockwave treatments stimulate tissue regeneration for musculoskeletal injuries. This NICE-approved therapy effectively treats chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and tendonopathies. Sessions deliver targeted acoustic waves to accelerate healing, with most patients requiring 4-6 weekly treatments for lasting pain relief and improved function.
Dry Needling
This targeted therapy uses sterile needles to deactivate muscle trigger points causing pain and tension. Effective for headaches, back pain, and sports injuries, dry needling improves circulation and releases muscle knots. Treatments complement chiropractic adjustments, with therapists trained in safe, precise needle placement techniques.
NESA Therapy
Non-invasive neuromodulation therapy addresses nervous system imbalances through low-level electrical stimulation. This treatment helps manage chronic pain, sleep disorders, and stress-related conditions by restoring autonomic nervous system balance. Sessions use microcurrents to promote relaxation and improve symptoms associated with fibromyalgia, overactive bladder, and anxiety.
Erectile Dysfunction Treatment
Focused shockwave therapy offers a drug-free solution for vascular erectile dysfunction. This non-invasive treatment stimulates blood vessel growth and improves penile circulation. Clinical studies support its effectiveness in restoring natural erectile function, with most patients experiencing sustained improvements after completing the recommended treatment course.

Absolute scam artist do not use this practice !!!
Went for a 2 minute consultation as had muscular pain ended up with 18 sessions on my crushed discs
Was in pain and didnt have time to think or process the diagnosis before I was signed up to a direct debit mandate and agreed to pay hundreds of pounds. After 10 , 30 second treatments I cancelled my direct debit and ask for a refund. Then I started receiving emails at 5am in the morning asking for money constantly. What a complete scammer it turns out my back is completely perfect ! please research more then I did and save yourself

So disappointed with Chiropractic First. Having used them for a year, I had to move an appointment on the day and they were unable to accommodate me. I live very close and offered to be squeezed in for any availability for my 5 minute appointment but just got a flat refusal. Its such a pity there is no flexibility with their terms and conditions even though this was my first time moving an appointment within 24 hours. They had no issue with me moving my business elsewhere. I feels like a reflection on how little they care for their customers.

Before going to see Dr. Lorena at Chiropractor First I had difficulty in twisting my neck round to side plus, I was unhappy with my posture in that my shoulders were too much forward. Now after a treatment programme I have full mobility in my neck and my posture is so much better. I can recommend Dr Lorena.

Chiropractic First has been helping me to manage a congenital spine condition that had deteriorated after I had children (and carried them on my shoulders and hips!) Through regular management, we're developing better muscular support (unmanaged, the muscles can contribute to the problem by pulling my spine further out of shape) and I'm pain-free and able to be very active.

I cant rate Chiropractic First highly enough. I was referred to them after I started to experience bad back pain and Lewis identified a few issues which were resolved very quickly. Going back for regular maintenance checks has ensured any problems dont reoccur. The team is very professional, knowledgeable and the practice is extremely clean and safe.
