Yes it is. When it is done by someone properly trained and registered chiropractic care is a safe and natural option for helping your body feel and move better. Like anything in healthcare there can be some small side effects like feeling a bit sore or tired after treatment but these usually pass quickly.

The big scary risks you sometimes hear about are extremely rare. Studies show serious problems happen in only a tiny number of cases, much less often than with things like long term pain medication. A lot of people actually choose chiropractic because it is drug free, non invasive and works alongside your body not against it.

Thousands of people in the UK see chiropractors every day and the safety record is strong. We always make sure what we are doing is right for you and talk through everything before we start. The British Chiropractic Association put together this handy little table if you would like to read more.

Your first visit includes a thorough consultation, a detailed assessment (including a separate scan, posture analysis and vital stats) and a chance to discuss your health goals. We’ll explain everything clearly and answer any questions you have. We have a dedicated page that goes into this in much more detail. Click here to find out more.

Your first visit usually takes around 60 minutes and includes your full consultation and scan. After that we book you in for a 30 minute report of findings session where we go through everything in detail and talk about your care plan. Follow up appointments are booked in 10 minute slots but we have designed our clinic and diary for flexibility so we can spend more time with you if it is needed because real life does not always run on a strict schedule.

The initial consultation for soft tissue therapy (massage) usually takes around 60 minutes with your report of findings session lasting about 40. Ongoing appointments are either 30 or 60 minutes depending on what your care plan recommends and what your body needs.

For your initial consultation and scan we ask that you wear comfortable clothes you can move in as we will use movement to form part of our assessments. We will need to see your posture clearly so tighter fitting clothing is helpful and you will be asked to remove your top for part of the scan. We provide gowns for modesty and ask that women wear a standard clip back bra rather than a sports bra so we can access the spine without needing to remove it.

Comfortable clothing is also recommended for all follow up sessions since you may need to move around on the bench.

For soft tissue therapy we have a strict clothing policy to make sure your therapist can work safely and effectively. You will need to remove clothing over the area being treated. Women must wear a clip back bra as sports bras cannot be used for assessment or treatment. If we are working on your legs please wear or bring loose fitting shorts so we can reach the area properly. If clothing requirements are not met we may not be able to carry out the session.

Chiropractic care should not hurt but if you are already in pain some movements might feel a little uncomfortable at first. The techniques are gentle, controlled and always matched to what your body needs. You might hear a click or pop during treatment which is just a bit of gas escaping from the joint (a bit like cracking your knuckles) and it's honestly nothing to worry about. Some people feel a bit sore afterwards (kind of like you did a workout you weren't entirely prepared for) but that usually fades within a day or two. Most people walk out feeling looser, lighter and way more comfortable and if anything feels off we adjust on the spot and make sure you are feeling good before you leave.

The number of sessions you will need really depends on you, what you are coming in with, how long it has been going on and other lifestyle factors such as stress, daily movement and your overall health. After your first consultation we will put together a care plan that we think will help you reach your goals in the most efficient way. We check in regularly during your sessions and have specific progress reviews to see how things are going and make changes if needed. Your body is always changing so your care plan can too.

Absolutely! We offer both services independently, but many clients find the best results when they’re combined.
