Report
I came to the clinic after experiencing almost daily excruciating headaches and neck pain. Richard (my chiropractor) was more than happy to answer my questions, explained the likely cause of my discomfort and conducted treatment in a private room. After the first treatment I felt relief and after 2 further treatments, I'm happy to report I have no pain at all! I was provided access to an app with simple exercises to do at home alongside treatment, and to continue afterwards. My experience has been nothing but positive and I'm very grateful to be pain free. Thank you Richard and co.

Richard is a fantastic chiropractor. Having been to other chiropractors in the past it was a relief to finally find someone who is able to help. Richard very professional in his approach and more importantly he takes the time to explain what he is doing and why. I would recommend him to anyone.

Report
Richard walks on water I have had a bad back since my early 20s (now 64) and have at times been unable practically to walk. I have visited many Osteopaths and Chiropractors over the years and without doubt Richard is up the top of the tree. If you have a bad back don't give it a moments thought give him a call. I was there yesterday and today I feel 10 years younger

Both Myself and partner have suffer back issues since Christmas so I immediately contacted Richard after seeing him 10 years ago and receiving amazing service back then. We are now both up and running again yeah!! What I like about Richard is he talks you through everything he does as well as giving you advice on how to help your situation. After trying several Chiropractors I will never go to anyone else again and can highly recommend Richard
