CONDITIONS WE TREAT
Conditions we help with
Whether it’s back or neck pain, a sports injury, muscle tightness or restricted movement – we help people recover from the same issues that physiotherapists treat.
Our goal is to identify what’s really causing your pain and create a tailored treatment plan to restore your body’s balance and function.
- Back pain (acute & long-term)
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Shoulder pain and rotator cuff issues
- Hip and knee pain
- Sports injuries and strains
- Muscle tightness and imbalances
- Postural pain from desk work
- Repetitive strain injuries (RSI)
- Reduced mobility or flexibility
If you’re unsure whether we can help, your initial consultation will give you clear answers.
Same Results. Different Approach.
Physiotherapy mainly focuses on:
- Exercise-based rehab
- Often symptom-focused
- May need a GP referral
- Can involve long waiting times
In reality, what most people need is a clear diagnosis and a structured treatment plan – not a specific job title.
Our approach offers an effective alternative to physiotherapy by combining:
- Joint-based treatment
- Soft tissue therapy & rehab
- No referral needed
- We identify and correct the underlying cause
- Addresses both joints and muscles for complete recovery
- Long-term relief, not just short-term fixes
Our Treatment Options
We use a combination of evidence-based techniques to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support long-term recovery.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Restore normal joint function and relieve pressure on nerves
Sports Massage
Release tight muscles, improve flexibility and circulation
Soft Tissue Therapy
Target specific trigger points and muscle imbalances
Sports Rehabilitation
Rebuild strength, stability and confidence after injury
Shockwave Therapy
A non-invasive treatment that helps speed up recovery for tendon and soft-tissue pain by boosting circulation and tissue repair.
YOUR FIRST VISIT
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first visit is about understanding what’s causing your symptoms – not just treating where you feel pain.
01
Full Medical History:
We take the time to understand your current health, past injuries, and lifestyle factors that may be affecting your wellbeing.
02
Chiropractic Examination:
A series of physical checks to assess movement, alignment, joint function, and nerve responses.
03
Postural Assessment:
We’ll assess how your posture may be contributing to pain or discomfort — and what we can do to improve it.
04
Digital X-Rays:
We will carry out a series of diagnostic X-rays if clinically required to help aid an accurate diagnosis. This provides important information about your spine and condition. Your X-rays are included in our consultation fee.
05
Your Report of Findings:
Following your consultation, we will get you booked in asap for your follow-up Report of Findings, where your Chiropractor will talk you through their findings and results of any diagnostic images taken. If you’re ready, we can get started straight away with our first treatment. (Treatment fees apply)
“I came in thinking I needed physiotherapy, but after my consultation and report, I realised chiropractic care was exactly what I needed. I felt improvement straight away!”
Please note: There is no treatment on your first visit; this is your opportunity to be heard and for us to fully understand the bigger picture of your health.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some answers to common questions we get asked…
Do I need a GP referral to see a chiropractor?
No. You do not need a GP referral to book an appointment with our chiropractors. You can contact our clinics directly to arrange your visit or book directly online.
Is chiropractic the same as physiotherapy?
No – but both aim to reduce pain, restore movement, and improve function. Chiropractic care places more emphasis on joint mechanics and nervous system function, often combined with soft tissue therapy and rehabilitation exercises.
Can I see you instead of a physiotherapist?
Yes. Many people choose us as an alternative to physiotherapy, especially when they want hands-on treatment alongside rehab and movement correction.
What conditions do chiropractors treat that physios also treat?
Back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, muscle tightness, joint pain, posture-related issues, and movement restrictions.
Will I get exercises like I would with physiotherapy?
Yes. Where appropriate, we provide personalised rehabilitation and corrective exercises as part of your treatment plan. These are available on our app, which is free to use when you become a client.
Is chiropractic suitable for sports injuries?
Absolutely. We regularly treat sports-related injuries and overuse conditions using massage, rehab, and joint-based care.
How much does chiropractic treatment cost?
Our usual New Patient Consultation cost is £56, which also includes your X-Rays to help with an accurate and fast diagnosis.
With this offer, however, you get this plus your 1st treatment for just £49.
The cost of your chiropractic treatment will depend on the nature of your treatment plan. This will be discussed with you following your consultation and your Report of Findings.
We operate a transparent pricing policy and will always explain and agree on fees with you in advance of your treatments.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on your condition, how long it’s been present, and your goals. This will be discussed clearly after your assessment.
How soon can I get an appointment?
We are always flexible at our clinics. We try to make it as easy as possible for people to book an appointment to see us, as we understand that when people are in pain, they need to find a solution fast.
This is why we are able to offer same-day appointments in most cases. We are also open evenings and weekends to offer flexibility.
