Opening our doors in 2011, we have been working in the York community to provide exceptional chiropractic care. We strive to integrate both passive and active interventions to develop bespoke care packages for our patients' helping them achieve their goals, whether that is to play bowls, mowing the lawn, or run a marathon.
With this in mind, my approach here would be to firstly use some passive care, such as spinal manipulation, mobilisation or various soft tissue therapies, secondly move into some specific. These problems often seemingly appear from nowhere, such as waking with it, or turning your head to look at something, rather than there being some big event such as a fall which may.

Services
We try to see new patients within 24hrs, for this, we have flexible appointment times from early mornings into the evenings, we also try to sandwich the first two visits together to start the process of getting you right, however, it is not always possible. On your first visit to the clinic, you will be welcomed by one of our reception team.
Chiropractic is a non-invasive, hands-on health care discipline that focuses on the neuro-musculoskeletal system. Chiropractors practice a manual approach. Doctors of Chiropractic are specifically trained to detect and correct problems in the spine, often before the patient is even aware they exist.
The Activator is a small, hand-held instrument which delivers a gentle impulse force to the spine with the goal of restoring motion to the targeted spinal vertebra or joint. It is an alternative to the traditional manual form of spinal manipulation discussed above. Huggins T, Boras AL, Gleberzon BJ, et al.
Myofascial release therapy is a type of medical massage, which helps to release the tightness and shortness in the muscles. Myofascial tissue is the thin but strong fibrous tissue that can be found throughout the body. This connective tissue provides important support to both muscles and bones.
Most participants choose MFR therapy after losing function in a particular area of the body or if they're experiencing pain in the soft tissue of that area.For myofascial release, a therapist will stretch and massage the areas of your body with tightened muscles with manual pressure. The therapist then releases pressure and repeats the process until they feel the tension in the trigger point or other area has successfully been released.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a process in which the clinician uses a hand-held instrument to help fascial restrictions in soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia, and nerves) start to slide over one another again.
Once the damaged areas are detected, the instrument is used to deliver a controlled microtrauma to the affected area this is to stimulate a local inflammatory response, which initiates a cascade of healing activities.Adhesions within the soft tissue that may have developed as a result of surgery, immobilization, or repetitive strain, are broken down, allowing the patient to regain function.

Andy has done a cracking job fixing my neck pain (excuse the pun!). I had been suffering with severe neck and shoulder pain for years, due to long hours sitting at a desk. It was becoming unbearable, causing daily headaches and sleepless nights from the pain and discomfort. However, after my first appointment with Andy I felt he was a miracle man! The pain almost totally disappeared and I could move my neck in directions I'd forgotten were possible.
I've continued my appointments regularly and following Andy's advice I rarely suffer with the same level of pain as before and sleeping through the

After suffering severe pain in my neck for 5 weeks I had to do something about it and quick. During the initial appointment Andrew gave me a clear and thorough explanation of what was going on.
After my first treatment my pain and movement had improved 100 %, 2 more sessions and I am totally fixed.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Andrew and his company in my position again.
Thank you

I have been using Andy’s services for several years, initially to diagnose and treat a Hamstring injury. Not only was he able to sort this issue and resulting issues fully but he continues to advise and manage issues and exercises going forward. As a keen and active sports person himself, his knowledge and experience shine through. No hesitation is recommending this professional service.

I've been going to Andrew for a couple of years now and I would always recommend his practice. When I first arrived I had very bad back pain but he managed to fully alleviate this within a couple of visits and I have had no problems since then. I have continued the treatments as I find regular realignments have helped with my posture and Andrew's extensive knowledge has also made me aware of bad habits which can cause back issues. The service is always friendly and professional and I genuinely look forward to my appointments.

I have been going to see Andrew for about 4 years now following a painful back injury that he was able to correct and adjust for me in the first instance. I have continued to see him on a regular basis to help to ensure that my problems do not reoccur and they haven't!!
He is always approachable and manages to keep me fit and active and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone!

Andrew has really helped me understand the route causes of my irregular lower back problems and as well as his manipulation sessions has given me various simple exercises to fit around my busy schedule to minimise the problems and causes.
A very friendly and approachable team that will make you feel at ease from your first session, with a price point to match.
I highly recommend you try them.
