shockwave therapy
 

Neil is a doctor of chiropractic, medical acupuncturist, medical educator, medical sonographer and our Clinic Director. Neil has had an interest in health and movement since beginning his Martial Arts training in the late 90s. This ancient system of Martial Arts known as Ninjutsu involves an integrated form of Japanese Medicine; this age old warrior art and treatment system gave Neil a unique insight into how the body works and how it can be greatly influenced by such a small intervention.

Neil studied at the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic (University of South Wales) and graduated in 2013. Since graduating, Neil has completed several postgraduate degrees as well as certifying in shockwave therapy and Webster technique (pregnancy specific chiropractic). Neil is also currently undertaking a part-time PhD with Teesside University (completion due August 2022) and is a clinical supervisor at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic (AECC) in Bournemouth, where he supervises final year chiropractic students in the outpatient clinic.

Testimonials

Daily tension headaches left me feeling tired all the time and prescription painkillers led me to suffering with feelings of sickness and rebound headaches. Just 4 months of treatment, reduced my headaches and left me more energised. I feel like a new person!

LM Age 26 – Tension Headaches

I have been receiving chiropractic treatment for the past 15-16 years after a severe sporting injury. Each chiropractor that I have seen has kept me mobile and fighting fit.
