Chiropractic is a primary health care profession, specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions caused by mechanical dysfunction of joints, muscles and nerves.
In plain English, that means finding out what’s wrong, treating the relevant joints and muscles to relieve pain and get you feeling better. We will also recommend specific exercises, posture correction, ergonomic advice and dietary changes to maximize your chances of getting well and keeping fit.

No, as we are Primary Contact health professionals – just like dentists or opticians. Though GP's frequently recommend us, we treat local GP's as patients, and we welcome their referral, you don’t need a medical referral from your GP to make an appointment. We are more than happy to work in concert with GP's and will contact them if the patient requests, or is relevant to their case.

We will start by asking you lots of questions about the areas of your spine/body that are aching/painful etc.  After checking your medical history, we’ll carry out a full physical examination.  This involves checking your joints, muscles and nerves to see precisely what is causing the trouble.  Once the sources of dysfunction are identified, we will explain to you in simple easy to understand terms what’s going on, what we’re going to do to get it better, and what treatment entails.  Providing you're a good candidate for chiropractic treatment, we can then get started in getting you back on track and feeling better! The treatment that follows will be geared to your specific needs.

The amount of treatment required varies from one patient to the next and the nature/type of condition.  Generally speaking, the amount of treatment you need depends on how long you’ve had the problem, how severe it is, and how good you are at following the advice we give you!
Treatment plans are always tailored to each individual.

The decision on whether or not x-rays or MRI are necessary is made after the Chiropractor has taken a full case history and examined the patient thoroughly.  The decision will depend on several factors, including whether the information yielded by an x-ray justifies exposing the patient to the radiation involved in taking it, and the clinical benefit from that information.
We have access to x-rays locally and to MRI scans at a very competitive price, and are only used if necessary for your case/condition.

Generally Chiropractic treatment does not hurt, although in the early stages of treatment there may be some short term discomfort which quickly passes for most patients.  Most patients come to us as they’re in pain already, and generally treatment will be no more uncomfortable than the pain you’re already suffering.  Usually, follow up treatments become much more pleasant as symptoms improve and mobility increases.  Nearly all of our patients find their treatment a good experience – something to look forward to!

No! The title of chiropractor is protected by law. Only practitioners registered with the GCC can use the title of chiropractor. It is illegal for anyone else to do so.  The GCC regulates the profession and was established as a result of the Chiropractors Act 1994.
Regulation ensures that chiropractors have undertaken approved training to qualify as a chiropractor and also that they continue to update their knowledge and skills by attending seminars, practical workshops, conferences etc each year. Registration is reviewed annually by the GCC.

These members must subscribe to the code of ethics, rules and by-laws laid down by the Association.
