Expert Chiropractic Care Across Central & South West London

Chiropractic is a regulated healthcare profession. It deals with mechanical problems in the joints, muscles and nerves, with a particular focus on the spine.

In practice, that means finding out why a joint has stopped moving properly, getting it moving again, and helping you keep it that way.

A course of care usually includes:

A full case history and physical examination before anything else happens
Hands-on adjustments to restore movement to stiff or restricted joints
Soft-tissue work to release tight or overworked muscles
Exercises you can do at home to hold the improvement
Practical advice on your desk, your sleep, your training and your daily habits
On-site digital X-ray where imaging would make the diagnosis clearer

There isn't one single chiropractic technique. Some people want the classic adjustment. Others would rather not be anywhere near it, and there are low-force and instrument-assisted approaches that work perfectly well instead. We'll ask what you're comfortable with and adapt.

General acute and chronic backache and back pain, and lumbago
Mechanical neck pain
Sciatica
Headache arising from the neck, and migraine prevention
Shoulder complaints, including rotator cuff injuries and soft tissue disorders of the shoulder
Elbow pain and tennis elbow arising from associated musculoskeletal conditions of the back and neck
Joint pains, including hip and knee pain from osteoarthritis, alongside core treatment and exercise
Muscle spasms, cramp and generalised aches and pains
Minor sports injuries, ankle sprain and plantar fasciitis
Tension and an inability to relax

If your symptoms suggest something that isn't a chiropractic problem, we'll say so and point you back to your GP. That's part of the job.

Our team is the best thing about us. Highly trained, properly experienced chiropractors who are professional without ever being stuffy - and who are genuinely pleased you came in.

Many of them have run their own clinics and chose to be part of ours instead, which tells you something. They'll take the time to listen, explain what's actually going on in language that makes sense, and treat you like an adult who can handle the truth about their own back.

Every chiropractor is registered with the General Chiropractic Council, with their registration number published on their profile

Six clinics across Central and South West London, so there's a familiar face near your commute

Have a look at the whole team and pick whoever you like the look of.

The first visit is mostly talking and testing. You'll be asked about the problem, your general health, your work and what you do with your week. Then a physical examination - movement, joints, muscles, and orthopaedic and neurological testing where it's relevant.

After that, we explain what we've found in plain English, tell you whether we can help, and set out what treatment would look like.

Wear something you can move in - shorts and a t-shirt are ideal
Allow more time for your first visit than for follow-ups
Bring any scans, X-rays or reports you already have
Treatment often starts at the first appointment, if it's appropriate
Follow-up sessions are shorter and more focused
Nothing is a fixed commitment - we review as we go

Chiropractic Questions, Answered

No. You can book directly. If you're claiming on private health insurance, check with your insurer first, as some policies do require a referral.

An adjustment shouldn't be painful. Some people feel mild soreness for a day or so afterwards, in the way you might after a first session at the gym. Tell your chiropractor if anything is uncomfortable — there's almost always another way to do it.

It's gas releasing from the fluid inside the joint, the same as when you crack a knuckle. It isn't bones cracking, and the noise itself isn't the point of the treatment.

It depends on what's wrong, how long you've had it and what you need to get back to. Your chiropractor will give you an honest estimate after the examination rather than a number plucked out of the air.

Yes, we work with the major insurers. Check your policy for cover limits and referral requirements before you book.
