About the Chiropractic Clinic
While receiving care, you’ll be in the safe hands of our student chiropractors, and academic staff chiropractors.
Our students are student healthcare professionals in their final stages of training at the AECC University College. They work under the close supervision of qualified chiropractic tutors, who will discuss and review all aspects of your diagnosis and management of your condition.
When we first meet you we’ll go through your medical history, perform a physical examination, general medical check, and thoroughly assess your problem areas. This first appointment takes up to 90 minutes as we want to fully understand you and your problems.
