Duchy Chiropractic

Our chiropractic care addresses musculoskeletal conditions through manual adjustments and holistic treatment. We specialise in resolving back pain, neck pain, and joint issues by restoring proper alignment and function. Treatment plans combine spinal manipulation with lifestyle advice to promote long-term wellness and prevent recurring symptoms.

Specialised spinal manipulation techniques target restricted joint movement in the spine and extremities. This hands-on treatment improves mobility, reduces inflammation, and alleviates nerve irritation. Each session is tailored to address specific areas of dysfunction while ensuring patient comfort and safety throughout the process.

Personalised posture assessments identify alignment issues contributing to musculoskeletal pain. We provide practical ergonomic recommendations for workspaces and daily activities to prevent strain. Corrective exercises and movement patterns are taught to maintain proper posture and reduce injury risk over time.

Custom rehabilitation programs strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance joint stability. These evidence-based exercises target specific areas affected by injury or chronic pain. Patients receive detailed instructions to perform movements correctly at home, supporting faster recovery and preventing future issues.

Targeted treatment for sports-related injuries focuses on restoring function and preventing recurrence. We address common issues like ligament sprains, muscle strains, and overuse injuries through combined manual therapy and sport-specific rehabilitation. Return-to-play guidance ensures safe resumption of physical activities at optimal performance levels.

see Liz regularly for treatment to help manage my complex on going health issues. Liz is extremely kind, caring and professional she goes out of her way to help and continually support me. Liz always puts me at ease with her friendly approachable manner she is by far the best chiropractor Ive ever seen; the treatment I receive is amazing as is Liz I cannot recommend Liz highly enough! Thanks Liz for all your help.

Liz is hilarious, and a damn fine chiropractor. Now she's got me to a place of minimal pain, I now visit her as and when the long standing shoulder/neck pain and headaches/migraines make an appearance due to me sleeping wonky or doing something I shouldn't (like strimming ). Thank you Liz, please don't ever retire!

Having dealt with back issues for over 30 years, I can't speak highly enough of chiropractic, and Duchy Chiropractic has the most caring and skilled practitioners in Liz and Mike that I've been privileged to be treated by. One might say they're a 'crack' team. Thank you for straightening me up.

I was on holiday in Bodmin having been suffering hip problems for some time. I only truly realised the extent to these when I got down to Cornwall and found that basic walking was becoming nigh on impossible. I decided that I would book an appointment with chiropractic therapist and the Duchy Chiropractic Clinic fitted me in as an emergency patient and Mike Barber provided me with a thorough consultancy and 3 sessions of massage.

He was kind, funny, open and honest. He told me what he couldn't do but also told me what he could do to help. After my first appointment I noticed a huge difference and by the end of my holiday I had improved so much. It's been a real 'game-changer'. I used to have to lift my foot with my hand. Now I can raise my leg above the ground with ease. As well as Mike's efficient and friendly treatment, I have to mention the lovely receptionist who always sent me off with a kindly "Go Well" and arranged so that I could park outside the clinic. Everyone that I had contact with impressed me so much, I just wish I could move them to Essex, or move me to Cornwall! Thank you!

Had my first appointment at the weekend and feel like I have new legs! Didnt realise how awkward walking was until it was less so! Liz is fantastic and explained everything really well. Im looking forward to becoming much less wonky, and very glad I found Duchy.

I have seen Liz for treatment. She is an excellent Chiropractor also very friendly and would highly recommend her as a professional Chiropractor.

Lovely clinic, really friendly staff. Liz is absolutely amazing, I always feel better after seeing her and I always come out with a smile on my face. All the staff make time for a friendly chat and make sure I feel welcome every visit. Would highly recommend.

Hurt my back when cycling Camel trail and the wonderful girls squeezed me in to allow to get back to Padstow which I did! Thank so very much.

can't recommend the guys enough at duchy, have seen quite a few members of the team new and old and they have all helped me massively with on going health issues, very helpful, expert treatment and very friendly

I cannot reccomend this place enough, the staff are so lovely and friendly, and I feel amongst friends there. The reception staff are just lush and always try to accommodate me. The chiropractor I have right now is Ben,.. He's been amazing at sorting out my hip and been helping relieve pain in my shoulders and back. One thing I really like about him is that's he's really respectful, especially when doing an adjustment near a private area..

He will explain what he will do before, ask if I'm OK to receive that adjustment, and if I am, he will check I'm OK after. I'm someone who's not had the greatest experiences with some men in the past, so knowing i have a practitioner who shows this level of professionalism is very relieving for me and reduces my anxiety.

I've visited several chiropractors locally, and I was advised to try Duchy. I can't praise Elizabeth enough; she's incredibly customer-oriented, providing comprehensive treatment during generous appointments and offering fantastic personalized advice. In terms of value, Duchy is unparalleled. Thanks to them, I finally feel like I'm on the path to recovery and experiencing far less pain than I have in years. Many thanks to the team at Duchy Chiropractic Clinic!

Always warmly greeted and looked after. The chiropracter i see, Elizabeth, is amazing. Always manages to fix me while putting me at ease with her friendly conversation. Would highly recommend.

I recently experienced a massage session with Anna, and it was absolutely fantasticexactly what I needed. Anna attentively listened to my concerns and expertly targeted the areas that needed attention. Her skill and care were exceptional. Moreover, the treatment room had a cozy ambiance, far from the clinical feel of many places. I highly recommend Anna and will certainly be returning. Thank you, Anna, for the wonderful experience!

James and the team at Duchy Chiropractic are brilliant! I Should have written a review a long time ago. James has helped me with my persisting back problems which manifested from years of desk work and has given me methods of strengthening it to stop the issue reoccurring. His passion to help his patients is evident to see in his caring approach and his depth of knowledge surrounding the human body. James has also helped with my Golfer's elbow, something which I wasn't expecting. As you can imagine, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND his services. In fact, my partner has just received her first treatment from him today! Thank you for all that you do.
