Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions through manual adjustments. By realigning the spine and joints, we alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance nervous system function. Patients receive individualised treatment plans combining adjustments with rehabilitative exercises for long-term results.
Sports Chiropractic
Designed for active individuals, this service addresses sports-related injuries and performance optimisation. We use biomechanical analysis and targeted adjustments to treat strains, sprains, and overuse injuries while preventing future issues. Treatment integrates soft tissue therapy and sport-specific rehabilitation to accelerate recovery and enhance athletic performance.
Western Medical Acupuncture
This evidence-based therapy involves inserting fine needles into trigger points to relieve chronic pain and muscle tension. It effectively treats headaches, migraines, and musculoskeletal pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. Sessions typically last 20 minutes and are often combined with chiropractic adjustments for enhanced outcomes.
Massage Therapy
Provided by a dual-qualified chiropractor, our massage therapy targets muscle tension and pain through Swedish, hot stone, and reflexology techniques. It complements chiropractic care by addressing soft tissue restrictions, improving circulation, and promoting relaxation, thereby enhancing overall treatment effectiveness.

You've waited long enough! If you are suffering, don't wait for a second longer to book an appointment with Steve. You will kick yourself for leaving it as long as you did!

I have been to Steve for some years now. Initially to solve a problem with my back, neck and shoulder: and now for preventive treatment every so aften. My aim being to prevent trouble. This has worked very well and and also is cost effective. Well done Steve, aided by Stormy a most efficient secretary and organiser.

I was very nervous about my first appointment, too many silly clips from films! But what a fantastic experience.
Stormee - Mrs McCarthy, the receptionist. Put me at ease straight away with a warm smile and friendly chat.
Steve - Mr McCarthy, the chiropractor. Also put me at ease, and checked in with me throughout treatment. I've had a problem with my shoulder for years and years. One treatment, the relief was immense. Although I'm a wee bit sore now, it's nothing I wasn't advised about and still better than the excruciating pain I have endured for years. I can't recommend this lovely couple

I was an absolute sceptic prior to visiting Active Chiropractic, I could not have been more wrong! My extremely sore shoulder is no more, and I feel so much better as a whole. I visit Steve every 10 weeks or so now and will continue to do so. Steve and Stormee are two of the nicest people I have ever met and they deserve their hard earned success :)

Steve has resolved a long standing problem that I'd previously been given medicine for that just alleviated this problem temporarily .. Now, after Steve's amazing work that problem has gone . No more discomfort and pills I am delighted. Thankyou Steve and Stormee for the wonderful service you provide.
