What We Do
We help with everything from general aches and pains and sport injuries to chronic pain, migraine prevention, osteoarthritis, sciatica and more. Our approach means blending the very best in person-centred care, hands-on therapies, exercise management and return to function.
Please find below some examples of what we can help with. If you have any questions about our services or would like to schedule a consultation, please contact us. We are committed to helping you achieve optimal musculoskeletal health in a safe and ethical manner.
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care. Whether you’re experiencing acute or chronic back pain, our team specialises in diagnosing and treating various back conditions, including general backache, lumbago, and mechanical neck pain. We’ll work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan to alleviate your discomfort and improve your quality of life.
If you suffer from headaches or migraines, chiropractic care may offer relief. We specialise in treating headaches arising from the neck (cervicogenic) and migraine prevention. Through gentle adjustments and targeted therapies, we aim to reduce the frequency and severity of your headaches, allowing you to live pain-free and more comfortably.
Joint pain, whether it’s in your hips, knees, shoulders, or elbows, can significantly impact your mobility and overall well-being. Our chiropractors are experienced in managing joint pains associated with osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions. We utilise a combination of manual adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and lifestyle modifications to help alleviate your discomfort and improve joint function.
Whether you’re a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, sports injuries can happen to anyone. Our clinic offers specialised care for minor sports injuries and tensions, including muscle spasms and rotator cuff injuries. We’ll work closely with you to develop a customised rehabilitation program tailored to your specific injury and fitness goals, helping you get back to peak performance safely and efficiently.
Sciatica is a common condition characterised by pain radiating along the sciatic nerve, typically down the back of the leg. Our clinic specialises in diagnosing and treating sciatica, helping you find relief from the discomfort and limitations it can cause. Through targeted adjustments and rehabilitation, we aim to help reduce symptoms and restore proper function to the affected area, allowing you to move more freely and comfortably.

Hear From Our Patients
A huge, heartfelt thank you for identifying that I needed a hip replacement and starting the ball rolling. Without you I'd still be consumed by pain and probably totally immobile by now! Your wealth of experience, knowledge and impeccable patient care is an exemplar to others in health care.
Some years ago I had 2 shoulder surgeries; I went to AECC for some help to rehab my shoulders and they did an amazing job. Whenever I need help after injuries, I always go back to AECC. All staff including the students, are friendly, professional, helpful and always listen to you. I am very grateful
As a long term patient, I've had nothing but exemplary care at AECC. The chiropractic students are highly committed and passionate about healthcare. I find them to be positive and encouraging and without their support i would not be able to continue doing the sport that I love.
My Chiropractor referred me to AECC a few years back for an ultrasound scan. Thanks to them, I was able to show my GP something wasn't right with my hip. X-rays, MRI, CT, Physiotherapy and a referral to a specialist all happened thanks to that initial scan at AECC.

Who will I be seen by?
