As the clinic has been exceptionally busy we haven't really posted a lot lately. However, we aim to improve that over the coming weeks and months.

To those that are new here, welcome. We hope you learn a little something that might be useful now or in the future.

We are a group of 5 chiropractors who all trained in human chiropractic and then went on to train at postgraduate level with Options for Animals - UK.

Chiropractic is a profession concerned with improving structure to have a positive effect on function. Simply put we want to improve how the nervous system can operate by correcting issues with the musculoskeletal system.

Most people think chiropractors adjust (specific manipulations) which we often do but did you know we also:
✅ Use therapeutic ultrasound
✅ Use cold laser
✅ Use the stance analyser
✅ Use a theraplate
✅ Give home care advice and rehabilitation strategies
✅ Work a lot with other healthcare providers e.g. hydrotherapist

🤚🏼 In this treatment session I’m using a more traditional hands-on approach

🧔🏽‍♂️ The patient attended with their usual stiffness and soreness, but also presented with a new issue — plantar fasciitis. This was assessed and treated as part of the session. As always, treatment is tailored to the individual and what they are experiencing on the day.

✨ Regular maintenance care can be really helpful for keeping the body moving well and reducing the likelihood of recurring problems.

🐶 ‘Happy Dogs Make Us Happy’ -

I’ve had another gorgeous dog (Zilla, the Rhodesian Ridgeback) in the clinic today for her check over before Crufts tomorrow 🐾
Good luck Zilla 💚

I’ve been seeing lots of dogs in the clinic recently for a range of conditions 🐶

⬆️ This is an 8-year old Frenchie with a history of IVDD and I’ve been working with him and his owners on strength and stabilisation in those hind limbs

🐕 I’ve also recently treated an ex-agility Border Collie, a Rhodesian Ridgeback on its way to Crufts, a Dalmatian and a Cane Corso

As a dog owner myself it’s so rewarding being able to help and improve the lives of our four legged friends 🐾

Different lifestyles. Same problem — your body under stress.

💻 Office workers — long hours sitting, tight hips, stiff necks, tension headaches.
🏋️ Athletes — heavy training loads, mobility restrictions, recovery demands.
👶 M**s — lifting, carrying, feeding, broken sleep, and very little time to recover.

Different stress. Same system.

Chiropractic focuses on the neuromusculoskeletal system — helping your joints move properly, improving muscle balance, and reducing unnecessary strain.

It’s not just about pain relief.
It’s about helping your body cope better with what you ask of it every day.

Move better. Feel stronger. Function well.

Chiropractic adjustments aren’t always about the audible ‘crack’ but it sure does feel good! ✨
