Chiropractic care in
Shipston-on-Stour

DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC: Julie
At Chiropractic & Wellbeing, we provide professional chiropractic care for people experiencing back pain, neck pain, joint discomfort, muscle tension and restricted movement. Based in Shipston-on-Stour, we welcome patients from the surrounding areas including Moreton-in-Marsh, Brailes, Hook Norton and Stratford-upon-Avon.
Will examine your spine for interferences and remove them using gentle, low force techniques called adjustments. This will remove tension in the nervous system that is often responsible for many of the common ailments experienced in modern life.
Chiropractic adjustments help the nervous system function more efficiently and improve brain function.
Chiropractic Techniques (some examples)

Drop Table
This technique makes use of specialised drop piece mechanisms in the table to assist the adjustment. Individual cushions or “drop pieces” located along the table support each area of the spine until a gentle thrust is given. Each drop piece then gives way, reducing the pressure needed to move a specific spinal segment.

Blocks
This involves using blocks and gravity to gently traction joints to relieve tension on nerves and muscles. Brilliant for muscle spasm and lower back pain.

The Activator
The activator is a tool used to gently adjust vertebrae and relax muscles. It is ideal for elderly patients, children, nervous patients, and patient’s post-surgery.

Chiropractic treatment may be suitable for many people looking to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support their overall wellbeing. Whether you’re experiencing back pain, neck pain, joint stiffness, muscle tension, headaches, or difficulty moving comfortably, a chiropractor can assess your condition and recommend the most appropriate care for your needs.
Your first appointment is a chance to discuss your concerns, understand your symptoms, and receive a personalised assessment in a comfortable and supportive environment.

Chiropractic care is commonly used to help people experiencing musculoskeletal problems, including back pain, neck pain, joint stiffness, muscle tension, and issues affecting movement. Many patients also seek chiropractic treatment to improve flexibility, posture, and overall physical function.
During your assessment, your chiropractor will discuss your symptoms and determine the most suitable approach for your specific situation.
The number of chiropractic appointments you need depends on your individual condition, goals, lifestyle, and how your body responds to treatment. Some people notice improvements after a few sessions, while others may require a longer-term approach for ongoing support.
Your chiropractor will regularly review your progress and adjust your care plan to ensure it continues to meet your needs.
For your chiropractic appointment, it is best to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move easily. Your chiropractor may need to assess your posture, movement, and joints, so clothing that does not restrict movement can be helpful.

After years struggling with a crippling fear of flying I decided it was time to take action. After exhausting all other avenues I was recommended to make an appointment with Richard for Hypnotherapy. From our first phone call to our only hypnotherapy session I found Richard to be very friendly and straight away put me at my ease. Coming away after I felt very positive about my upcoming 8hr flight. Post flight I can honestly say it was the best decison I ever made! Not only did I get through the flight without a complete meltdown, I actually relaxed and enjoyed it. This is something I never thought would be possible in my lifetime. I’m now looking to book my next holiday…two world here I come!!Posted on Google Ruth GaleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could leave 10 stars I would!

I came to see Julie at first because I was due a surgery through NHS, (carpal tunnel). I was really not up for it and felt like it was too early to do so and that I could use other practices before taking the surgery road. I'm now half way through the treatment plan Julie put up for my needs, and she had quite a lot to deal with! (Not only the one why I came at first!) I'm amazed how much it already made a difference. And she told me that my body is responding well, which is a great bonus! It had straighten my spine, giving me the great feeling of having better postures, soreness relief all over my body, a feeling of lighter members and joints. Really appreciated feelings without any doubts!! I will certainly recommend anyone to go to see Julie, she is professional, so knowledgeable and friendly 😃Posted on Google Charles CooperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't recommend enough the quality of service and the change for me that Chiropractic and Wellbeing, Shipston-on-Stour has made. I work in construction and like to keep fit and active. When I first started coming I would wake up every morning with a stiffness in my back and often quite uncomfortable pain. Through the work that Julie has done I no longer suffer like I did. It's been a transformation and was 100% the right decision, I'm very grateful.Posted on Google R HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
