What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractors specialise in the diagnosis, treatment and management of mechanical conditions of the joints and soft tissues. Emphasis is usually on the spine and the effects on the nervous system. A Chiropractic manipulation (adjustment) is a highly skilled technique, which gently releases stiffness. Pain often occurs when joints stop moving healthily. When a joint is treated and returns to normal healthy movement there is resolution of pain. Most treatments will include some soft tissue work to relax muscles and improve healing.

  • Back and Neck: backache/pain, neck pain.
  • Joints and Muscles: Joint pains (including hip/knee from osteoarthritis), muscle spasms, and cramp.
  • Specific Injuries/Conditions: Sciatica, tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), Shoulder/rotator cuff injuries, and ankle/plantar fasciitis.
  • Head/Other: Headache (arising from the neck), migraine prevention

Aftercare and home advice are often given to maintain the positive effects of treatment and prevent reoccurrence.

    • WHO Guideline (Dec 2023/Jan 2024): The World Health Organization released new guidelines for the non-surgical management of chronic primary low back pain, which includes conditional recommendations for spinal manipulative therapy (SMT).
    • Systematic Review Updates (2024): A systematic review published in The Spine Journal (July 2025, search updated to March 2024) assessed high-quality guidelines, supporting the use of manual therapy, exercise, and education for back pain.
    • NICE Guidelines (UK): The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines for low back pain and sciatica were updated in March 2021 and are still actively utilized, emphasizing manual therapy (including chiropractic) in combination with exercise.
    • Best Practices (2022-2023): Updates to best practices for chiropractic management of adult patients were published in late 2022, focusing on evidence-based, conservative care.

What to Expect

Your initial visit to the clinic will begin by completing a short registration form. You will then be greeted in the waiting room by your practitioner. The consultation gives you the opportunity to bring us up to speed with your condition or concerns. We may ask questions about your previous health history or family history. This is not to be nosy but can help us to accurately diagnose and formulate the best plan of action for you. You will then be examined using specialised Orthopaedic and Neurological tests. Sometimes special tests like x-rays or MRI scans will be needed to fully assess you before diagnosis can be made. Once diagnosed, your practitioner will explain your condition and you will be invited to ask any questions that you may have. We will discuss your treatment options including the number of treatments required and techniques that can be used as well as things that you can do yourself to help with recovery. If Chiropractic treatment is not suitable for your condition, then you will be referred on in the right direction to get the help you need.

I suffer from a stiff neck and shoulder pain mainly because of years sitting at a computer and not moving my body as it’s meant to move; also there is an age issue here (58). The stiffness and some of the pain has already been taken away after only 2 sessions. Staff are attentive and help me to feel comfortable and at ease with the process.
Denise Eccles,

I have been visiting Claire regularly for 4 years now to help me effectively manage my Fibromyalgia Syndrome. My pain levels and muscle soreness have been reduced, and my energy levels significantly increased. I have also experienced debilitating episodes of Hemiplegic Migraine but with Claire's gentle 'needling' technique I am very happy to say I have been clear for 3 years now. Claire is a true professional and takes time needed to get to know her patients as individuals thus treating them accordingly.
Julie Haynes,

I visited Claire with severe crippling back pain being 18 weeks pregnant. I found my treatment very professional, time was taken to talk, the cause of my problem was identified and sorted. Friendly, helpful and a very calm environment. Never rushed and consideration for baby and myself at all times. So glad to have someone I can call on if it happens again.

I have been in agony with my back for the last 2 days... 45 minutes and I am pain free... I cannot believe how good this is!!! I have already booked my next appointment! Highly Recommended!!!

I initially sought Chiropractic care over 15 years ago for back and neck pain and Claire has very successfully treated me for the last 8 years. I can confidently say that she is by far the best Chiropractor that I have ever seen. My back used to regularly sieze or go into spasms but this rarely happens now and I believe it is because of the excellent treatment that I receive from Claire. She is gentle and effective, and I have no hesitation in recommending her treatment.
Sarah Smith

I would just like to say the help and caring treatment I had from Claire enabled me to get through a very difficult time. In particular her techniques for guiding me through a very distressing cardiac stress MRI scan which I was dreading as I am very claustrophobic.

It was all down to my mental control and use of visualisation telling me I was safe and could deal with the situation, combined with words of encouragement and affirmation. I would not hesitate to see her again if the need arises.

Thank you once again for a wonderful massage. It is always a great way to relax as you are so thorough. The pressure is always spot on. Helps me cope with the week ahead. Many thanks.
Sue Convery

As you know I have a muscular condition but after your very careful massages all my aches and pains are spirited away. I always look forward to my next one and the relief it gives me. You are very thorough with your questions and have totally taken on board my illness and the restrictions necessary. Thankyou.
