What is chiropractic therapy?
Chiropractic is a regulated healthcare profession. Chiropractors assess and treat problems with muscles, joints and the spine, mostly using their hands.
Treatment usually includes some of these:
- Spinal manipulation (adjustments), massage and stretching
- Strengthening and mobility exercises
- Advice on your desk set-up, work and activity levels
Getting your spine and joints moving better can ease pain and make everyday movement easier.

When to get chiropractic therapy
Some of the most common reasons people come to see us. If yours isn't here, call us on 0191 447 2540 and ask.
Sports injuries and strains
Picked up a minor sports injury or strain? We'll assess it, explain what we find and let you know whether chiropractic care is the right place to start.
- Minor sports injuries
- Muscle strains and spasms
- Joint pain from training
For long-standing pain
Chiropractic care can help with long-standing back, neck and joint pain.
- Chronic back or neck pain
- Headaches that start in the neck, and migraine prevention
- Persistent joint pain
Strain from work and posture
Desk work, driving or a physical job can leave your neck, back or shoulders sore. Chiropractic care can help ease it.
- Neck and shoulder strain from desk work
- Stiffness from sitting for long periods
- Aches from lifting and physical work
Regular check-ins
Some people like a regular check-in, especially with an active lifestyle or a physically demanding job. We'll talk through whether that's worth it for you.
- People who train regularly
- Workers with repetitive physical tasks
- People who've had back or joint problems before
Your first visit
Before you arrive: we’ll send you a few short forms to fill in online, covering your health and what you’d like help with. It saves time on the day, so your appointment is spent on you.
- A full history: your health, your lifestyle and what you’d like help with. If something’s bothering you, how it started and what makes it better or worse
- An examination: neurological and orthopaedic tests, plus a look at your posture and how you move
- A plan in plain English: what we’ve found, what we suggest and why. Nothing starts until you’re happy with it.
- Treatment, if it’s right to treat that day. This can include time in our massage chair first to help your muscles relax. Then we recheck how you’re moving.
- Exercises and advice: what to do at home to help between visits.
- After today: follow-up visits, working towards what you came in for, whether that’s easing pain, getting back to training or keeping on top of things.
If we can't help, you won't pay
If we assess you and don't think we can help, you don't pay for that appointment, and we'll point you to someone who can.
Dual sessions
You can book chiropractic back to back with a sports massage or physio at our Heaton clinic. It saves you a second trip and costs less than booking them separately.
Sports massage and chiropractic
A 30-minute sports massage first to ease off tight muscles, then your chiropractic treatment. One trip, and it costs less than booking the two separately.
First chiropractic visit and massage
On a first visit the chiropractor goes first: we talk through the problem, assess you and start treatment. Then a 30-minute sports massage to finish.
Chiropractic and physio
See the chiropractor and the physiotherapist in the same visit. Useful when you want hands-on treatment and a rehab plan sorted together, without coming in twice.
Maintenance treatments
For the aches and pains that keep coming back.
- "My back goes every few months." Regular visits help you keep moving well between flare-ups, and we deal with niggles before they build up.
- "It never fully goes away." If you live with long-standing back or neck pain, regular care can help you manage it, so it gets in the way of your life less.
- "I've got a long-term condition." We see people with scoliosis, osteoarthritis and old injuries that still give them trouble. We can't change the condition itself, but regular care can help with the pain and stiffness that comes with it.
- "I'm stiff after a day at the desk." We treat neck, shoulder and back tension, and give you set-up tips and stretches you can actually fit into your day.
- "My job is hard on my body." For lifting, driving or long shifts on your feet, regular treatment helps you stay on top of the aches that come with the work.
- "I train a lot and something always niggles." We deal with niggles early and plan treatment around your training and events.
- "I only come in when I can't move." Planned check-ins mean you're seen before it gets that bad, by someone who already knows your history.
We'll suggest how often to come back, if at all. For some people that's monthly, for others it's only when things flare up. Ask us about membership if you'd like regular appointments.
Sound like you? Book an appointment and we'll talk through what's going on and suggest a plan that fits, whether that's monthly visits or just when you need us.
