Don’t just take our word for it…
Having been to many chiropractors over the year, Philippa is the one I keep coming back to. Her method is gentle but affective and you leave her clinic feeling really fantastic. Highly recommended.
I have been going to Dan for 10 months now and am so glad I made the decision to do so. I wanted to improve my posture and Dan was recommended to me by a fellow gym member. It has been amazing! I am now much straighter and feel so much better. People have commented on how much better I look, and that I look much slimmer! Dan is really lovely. He makes me feel at ease and I enjoy every session. I walk out, up-right and feeling like I’m walking on air. I now choose to see Dan every month and its worth every penny. I would highly recommend Espina Chiropractic Clinic. Go on, give it a go. You’ll not regret it.
Charley is the ‘go-to’ chiropractor for the area; professional, thorough and kind. She has worked wonders for my very painful back. Highly recommend!
I found Tamsyn through the pelvic partnership after Pelvic Girdle Pain left me in excruciating pain and unable to walk. She has done wonders for my pregnancy and made my pregnancy enjoyable again. Professional and friendly Tamsyn is very welcoming and makes treatment enjoyable. I would highly recommend Tamsyn to anyone but especially mums to be who are experiencing difficulty during pregnancy.
Are you struggling?
Every day of the week our top chiropractors frequently see patients with a variety of muscular, joint and skeletal conditions. From relieving stress and tension as a result of every-day work and life, to managing ongoing degenerative conditions. Or diagnosing the cause of headaches, dizziness or migraines.
From working with patients through sporting injuries or simply following the sudden onset of lower back pain after doing something small. Our centres of clinical excellence are perfectly placed to get you back enjoying life with confidence, stronger than ever.
