Cardiff Chiropractic Clinic
Are you dealing with aches, pains, or injury? Come and visit our specialist chiropractic clinic in Cardiff. We’ve helped thousands of people get back to doing what they love without pain, and we’d love to do the same for you.
As trained Chiropractors we have been taught to see how the Spine works. This involves understanding how it moves, how it feels and what this means to you, your injury and your health.
We want to understand why you have back pain, neck pain, or other common issues. Our main goal is to figure out the cause. This means more than just hands on treatment.
Our unique 5 step process covers hands on treatment, exercises and strengthening, education and more.
Chiropractic traditionally focuses on manipulating the spine, and we agree that this can be helpful.
Our chiropractors in Cardiff use both traditional methods and modern technology. This combination improves our services. We aim to give you the best results.
If you’re not sure we can help, schedule a free phone consultation to share your story and ask any questions you have.

What do our Chiropractors do?
Our chiropractors use the latest research to provide quick and effective treatments for muscle, nerve, and spine issues. This results in fast and long-lasting pain relief at the clinic.
We quickly relieve pain with specific adjustments and techniques. These target issues in the spine and joints. These issues may cause misalignments or dysfunction.
By adjusting these structures, we can relieve pressure on nerves, improve blood flow, and help the body heal itself faster. This leads to less pain and better movement for patients.
All of our chiropractors are registered, accredited by professional bodies, and fully insured through the General Chiropractic Council.
Common Conditions Treated by Chiropractors
Back Pain
Our expert Osteopaths are trained to diagnose and treat low back pain. From acute muscle strains, to disc injuries, sciatica, chronic pain, arthritis and more. We take a thorough assessment to get a root cause understanding of your issue.
Back pain can be caused by an acute injury, such as sprain or strain. It can also often be caused due to a problem elsewhere.
As Osteopaths, we look at the body as a whole. We recognise through Osteopathy that when the Back hurts for “no apparent reason” – It often means that the back is the GOOD GUY. It is the compensation. So our job is to look for the key area, often a past injury, that is the real cause of your current complaint.
Neck Pain
- Disc Prolapse
- Degeneration
- Ligament Tear / Strain
Headaches and Migraines
Headaches and Migraines are two very separate conditions. Headaches can be classified as a Tension Headache, Cervicogenic (Neck) Headache, Cluster Headache and more. Migraines are another form of Headache that often involve other symptoms such as visual changes, tingling and neurological changes.
Our job as Osteopaths is to diagnose you with the correct form of Headache so we can best tackle the issue.
We also utilise our RightEye technology within the Clinic to get a deeper understanding of how your Eyes and Ears work.
What many people do not understand is that the eyes, neck and balance system are all tied together. Often tension in the neck (leading to headaches) is a compensation for faulty eye muscles and balance issues.
We often are able to then relate this back to past Injuries such as Whiplash or Concussion.
All of our Osteopaths have Masters degrees, whereby they are trained as Primary Healthcare Practitioners to help diagnose your complaint accurately.
Sciatica and nerve-related issues
Sciatica is a often misunderstood issue whereby there is compression or irritation onto the Sciatic nerve which runs from the Low Back, down the back of the leg to the foot. Most people with Back Pain are told they have “Sciatica” when in fact, they DO NOT.
The Sciatic nerve can become irritated for a number of reasons, from Degeneration, Muscle Tension, Disc Bulges and more. When irritated, we can often feel a sharp, shooting, electric shock like pain down the back of the leg, often accompanied with tingling or numbness.
As Osteopaths, we use a number of techniques to allow the Nerve to heal, and get you back on track. Based on our Unique 5 Step Process, we use our Thor Red Light Laser to help improve the initial healing. Once done, we use hands on techniques to allow the body to settle, reduce pain and free movement.
We can progress you through a bespoke exercise plan, housed within our Members Portal.
The Goal is to not just get you out of Pain, but to end up with a stronger back so that the issue does not re-occur!

Chiropractic Techniques Used
Our chiropractors are trained in various techniques. We use spinal and joint manipulation, soft tissue and muscle relaxation techniques, and exercises to improve mobility and strength.
At the foundation of all our treatments: Our expert team use a neurology focused technique called P-DTR. We are the only clinic in the world that has two instructors working in the clinic. We are proud to teach students from around the world who want to learn this technique.
P-DTR is a unique approach to resolving Chronic Pain. This gentle method helps us find areas in the body that the brain sees as dangerous. This can cause an increase in pain signals without actually causing any pain or invasion. We locate sensitive areas near past trauma and reset them to stop the brain from sending pain signals.
We have a special 5 Step Process to help you recover. We use our Thor Red Light Laser to speed up the healing process. Once done, we use hands-on techniques to allow the body to settle, reduce pain and free movement.
How to Prepare for Your Chiro Appointment
New patients should fill in the online intake form prior to their visit to the clinic. You will see this in the confirmation email and text that you will receive. This will allow us to review your case before your appointment to better understand your issues.
This will allow more time to be spent at your consultation examining you complaint and starting your treatment
We advise wearing comfortable clothing, such as sports clothes that are flexible and easy to manoeuvre.
We first will sit down and discuss your complaint before starting our examination.
We look at the way you stand and move, before feeling your muscles and joints and looking for hidden reasons for your issue.
Once understood, we can sit down and discuss the root cause of your issue and lay out a roadmap and treatment plan to help you get better.

Holistic Approach to Chiropractic Care
Chiropractors view the body as a complete system, rather than just separate parts like the neck or back. Problems in one area can cause issues in other areas over time.
This is when patients are told that nothing is wrong – The scans are normal and there is no reason for the pain they feel.
Sometimes, the back tries to help the hip, but the hip is adjusting because of an old ankle injury. This creates a complicated situation with many compensations built up over time.
We will review your medical and injury history to understand your situation better. This helps us create a plan to guide you on your journey to recovery and get you back to feeling your best.
