Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on spinal alignment to relieve pain, improve mobility, and promote overall wellness through manual adjustments. We treat chronic back pain, neck pain, sciatica, joint stiffness, and sports injuries using gentle, precise techniques suitable for all ages. Tailored care plans address root causes of pain, ensuring long-lasting results through rehabilitative exercises and wellness care.
Digital X-Rays
We utilise state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology to capture detailed images of spinal structures, identifying misalignments, disc issues, and postural imbalances. This diagnostic tool helps create accurate treatment plans by revealing underlying conditions like scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, and joint degeneration. The process is quick, safe, and minimally invasive, providing essential insights for effective chiropractic care.
Sports Injury Treatment
Our sports injury treatment specialises in recovery from athletic trauma, including sprains, strains, and overuse injuries. We combine chiropractic adjustments with targeted exercises to restore function, reduce inflammation, and prevent re-injury. The service addresses conditions like tennis elbow, runner's knee, and shoulder impingement, helping athletes return to peak performance safely and efficiently.
Migraine Relief
We offer specialised migraine and headache relief through chiropractic adjustments targeting neck misalignments and muscle tension. This approach reduces nerve interference and improves blood flow, addressing root causes rather than masking symptoms. Patients experience decreased frequency and severity of migraines, with many reporting complete resolution after consistent treatment.
Posture Correction
Our posture correction service addresses forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and pelvic imbalances through spinal adjustments and corrective exercises. By realigning the musculoskeletal system, we alleviate pain caused by poor posture, improve breathing capacity, and enhance overall body mechanics. This service benefits office workers, athletes, and individuals with chronic postural strain.

Report
I'd been aware for a while that I was a bit 'twisted', but didn't think too much of it. I'd get a tweak to my back or neck frequently but it'd go after a few days. Then I injured my lower back at the gym - after a couple of weeks of persistent pain I was in desperate need of some help. I was in agony just trying to do up my shoe laces. I convinced myself I was going to be in pain forever. I came to Will as my wife had been successfully treated. Will has straightened me out with regular adjustments and prescribed exercises. He is very personable, listens well and explains exactly what he is doing

I have visited Dr Goddard with lower backpain from which I have been suffering for about 10 years. I liked the fact that during the initial assessment I had an x-ray as I never had one with other practitioners. I was given a clear treatment plan which I have just completed. Although this plan requires commitment from the patient as well, it will bring results. Now I am much more mobile and my back pain is gone, I feel like a healthy person again. I would definitely recommend Dr Goddards practice if you are looking for a long term solution.

I have been visiting Will at Goddard Chiropractic for the past three months for treatment for neck stiffness causing migraines and have been incredibly pleased with the results. My headaches are now much more manageable and the difference to my day to day life is unbelievable. I have gone from being impacted daily by headaches and neck pain to being able to live life normally with only the occasional issue - which now I am able to manage with exercises and regular sessions with Will. The team at Goddard Chiropractic are always polite and helpful and I could not recommend both the treatment and

I am very happy with the service I receive from Goddard Chiropractic. Will and the reception team are always friendly and helpful. I initially went for pain in my lower back but I feel it has been more of a whole body approach. I had cervical spinal surgery a few years ago which cured the excruciating pain but left me with a stiff neck, limited movement and occasional pain but this has improved greatly since I started treatment. I am happy to recommend this service.

Cant recommend Goddard Chiropractic enough! Will is very knowledgable, calm and thorough. He has a way of explaining what the issue is in a simple easy to understand manner and also gives great advice on how to change small components of daily life to improve your back. Been a client since the clinic opened and cant fault them in any way!
