Spinal Health Care. Chiropractic, K Laser and Massage Julien Barker B.Sc. Aged 17 I hit a parked car on my push bike and went through the back windscreen.

(Hons) DC MMCA MCA

Like many graduates of the McTimoney Chiropractic college, my first experience of Chiropractic was as a patient. A bit of a stiff neck became a serious problem several years later, severely affecting my shoulder and sleep. At the age of 19, I was being advised that I would need to take painkillers for the rest of my life. My mum suggested a Chiropractor (Chiro what?). Three sessions later and the problem was resolved. To date, it still hasn't returned. Of course there have been a few injuries since then but Chiropractic is always my first choice for treatment and is the key to a speedy recovery. I'm still a maintenance patient myself every 3 months! I graduated with B.Sc Hons degree in Applied Biology from Bath University in 1992. After a few years working in a hard science environment as a microbiologist, I trained as a Chiropractor. After 4 years of training I graduated and began my career in May 2000 at the Rose & Crown clinic in South Molton. After ten good years, I decided it was time to fly solo and set up my own clinic at 11 South Street. Whilst holding true to the principals of McTimoney Chiropractic, I mostly use Activator Chiropractic methods these days. I am one of only forty Advanced Proficiency rated Activator practitioners in the UK and, to date, the only one in Devon. I also integrate Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT) as well as Dry Needling. I am proud to say that the bulk of my referrals come from personal recommendation. Simply put, once the patient's problem is diagnosed, I use a variety of skills to create a bespoke treatment which will fit their individual healthcare needs. When I'm not busy doing this, I live on a smallholding with my wife Claire and our two beautiful daughters. I love surfing, mostly on my longboard at Saunton Sands.

Our new collage is here, capturing moments from the October-December quarter last year.

Teamwork is incredibly important to us, and these collages celebrate that - while also reminding us of the great memories and fun we’ve shared along the way.

Book recommendation 📚
The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk

A thoughtful exploration of how trauma can shape the mind and body, and how our experiences are held within us over time.

Van der Kolk looks at the role of relationships, connection, and our wider social environment in supporting resilience, as well as approaches that may help people recover after trauma.

If you’re interested in understanding trauma from a body-based and relational perspective, this is a widely discussed and influential read.

In this episode of Just A Thought, Julien explains how to set new year's resolutions that you can actually achieve.

A good resolution can help you trigger a positive feedback loop in your brain, helping you to be productive and reach your goals.

We just wanted to say a quick thank you to the lady who found a phone outside the clinic and gave it to us. It has now been returned to its owner who was very grateful.

We see a wide range of subluxations throughout the month, but every so often one seems to appear again and again.

Since returning from Christmas, L5 has been a particularly common one we’ve noticed.

L5 often shows up following things like falls, heavy lifting, or long periods of sitting. With the festive season bringing plenty of sitting, travelling, and lifting boxes, it’s no surprise this has become a bit of a January favourite.

If you’ve been feeling a little stiff or out of sorts since the holidays, you’re certainly not alone.

To kick off the new year, we’ve added a little fun to your visits.

We’ve created a bowl of health-focused New Year’s resolutions for you to pick from at your next appointment. Each one is centred around movement, nutrition, exercise, sleep, or mental wellbeing - all things that matter to us (and to your health).

Next time you’re in, have a rummage in the bowl and see which resolution you get!
