As you can see from the clinic name, my name is David. Since the age of 13 years old I have been a chiropractic patient. I did not have any symptoms but met my first Chiropractor due to my older brother receiving treatment for sports related injuries. This was when my interest in the philosophy of chiropractic care started.
At the age of 20 I enrolled at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic in Bournemouth where I completed a five year Master degree in Chiropractic.
In 2009 I graduated from the AECC and have been in private practice ever since.
Now with over 16 years of clinical experience and with a young family, I've decided to open a state of the art clinic close to home.
My underlying objective when assessing any patient is to investigate the route cause of any neuro-musculoskeletal issues they have. Not just rely on the symptoms someone may or may not have.
The promotion of health and function is key for everyone, any age, any time. Our spine has evolved to house the spinal cord and is its primary protector. The spinal cord is an extension of our brain and the brain relies on the nerves that exit the spine to send and receive accurate messages in order to heal, move, feel and function. The holes in the spine where the nerves exit are a very specific size and shape for these nerves, therefore any change in the alignment of the spine may result in an interruption of the signals between the brain and the body, this in turn is what often causes symptoms such as pain, headaches, sensation or movement issues or disfunction.
My primary objective with every patient is to help enable them to have a healthy spine in order to optimise their own health and live the life they want to lead.
Age is not a barrier, I see new born babies through to people in their nineties.
I look forward to meeting you in our clinic and helping you reach your own health goals.
