The Benefits Of Chiropractic
Chiropractic care offers a natural and effective approach to finding relief from back pain, neck pain, headaches and much more. Here are some of the main benefits of choosing chiropractic care.
Targeted Pain Relief
Chiropractic adjustments are highly effective in providing focused pain relief for back pain.
By addressing spinal misalignments (subluxations), chiropractors work to alleviate pressure on nerves and surrounding tissues. This precise approach reduces inflammation and supports the body’s natural healing processes, delivering both immediate and lasting relief from back pain.
Drug-free Pain Management
In an age where medication is often relied upon, chiropractic care offers a drug-free alternative for pain relief.
Chiropractors focus on natural, non-invasive techniques to manage and alleviate back pain. By avoiding pharmaceutical solutions, patients can minimise potential side effects and dependency, embracing a treatment approach that works in harmony with the body’s innate healing abilities.
Holistic Approach to Wellness
Chiropractic care takes a holistic view of health, acknowledging the interconnected nature of the body.
Rather than focusing solely on symptom relief, chiropractors consider lifestyle factors, stress, and other contributors to back pain. By addressing these underlying causes, chiropractic care aims to not only alleviate immediate discomfort but also support long-term wellness and resilience.
Improved Spinal Function
A well-functioning spine is essential for overall health. Chiropractic care centres on restoring proper alignment and spinal function.
Through targeted adjustments, chiropractors work to enhance spinal mobility, reduce stiffness, and improve flexibility. This approach not only addresses existing back pain but also helps prevent future issues, promoting a spine that is more resilient to daily stresses.
Personalised Treatment
Each person’s experience with back pain is unique, and chiropractic care reflects this individuality.
Chiropractors tailor their treatment plans to meet each patient’s specific needs. During your initial consultation, including a detailed assessment and lifestyle discussions, they develop a personalised approach to address the root causes of your symptoms, providing care that supports both recovery and long-term well-being.

Hear What Some Of Our Clients Have To Say About Us
"In my mind, I still just think it's magic. There have been times where I've been here and with the lightest of touches, I felt like I could fall asleep.
He used gentle adjustments to start with. But as soon as the proper adjustments started, I really noticed the difference. So anyone that's worried about it... don't be."
Lucy
"First visit with Francesco, where he did some corrective treatment on me, I literally haven't had a painkiller since then.
I'm a lot more mobile now. I can walk for extended periods, of more than 2 hours without pain and just have a bit more freedom."

FAQs
Is Chiropractic safe?
Chiropractic treatment is very safe and has far fewer risks than many other treatments for your problem, such as medication and surgery. I am fully qualified and registered with the General Chiropractic Council and I am a member of the United Chiropractic Association. My approach is particularly gentle and the treatment will be tailored to your specific needs depending on any risk factors that are identified before treatment commences.
Is there parking?
Yes, we work in a leisure centre so there is plenty of parking.
How can I book?
After filling in your information, one of our friendly team will give you a call to book in your initial assessment. You can also use our booking widget on the 'thank you' page once you have submitted your information.
Where is the clinic located?
We are located in Ferndown, conveniently serving clients from Bournemouth and Ringwood as well. Our address is Ferndown Leisure Centre, Cherry Grove, Ferndown BH22 9EZ, United Kingdom. You can also see where we are located on the map just below.
Is it safe for pregnant women, babies and the elderly?
Yes. I will only use safe, gentle techniques that are suitable for your age and condition.
How long will it take to work?
It depends on your particular condition, its severity and your response to treatment. The longer that you have been suffering with symptoms, the longer it can take to get better. I will advise you at your Report of Findings of your own likely recovery time, and how to minimise the chances of problems happening again.
Do I need to see my GP first?
Chiropractic training prepares practitioners to recognise conditions which are not appropriate for chiropractic treatment, so it is safe for you to go directly to a chiropractor without having to see your GP first. This is part of the purpose of the initial consultation, to ensure that there is nothing else going on which may warrant referring you back to your GP or to any other appropriate specialist.
Will I need to get undressed for treatment?
Chiropractors work holistically and prefer to see the whole spine as they treat. Therefore I do ask patients to undress to their underwear. You can tell me if you would rather remain clothed and I will be happy to accommodate you. The most important thing is that you feel relaxed and comfortable at all times.
