Chiropractor Michael Lucas obtained his chiropractic education from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic in 2007. He then moved to Kent to help grow our practice in Ashford. Here, we offer drug-free chiropractic care for all ages, along with massage and on-site X-rays. During his time at university, Michael read some books by Dr. James Chestnut, who coined the concept: Eat Well - Move Well - Think Well.
Coming from a family that is very much involved in the healthcare industry, I always felt destined to do something within the healing professions. My journey to becoming a chiropractor however, really began as a patient myself.
I sustained a very bad whiplash injury after being side-struck by a Volvo (a very well built Volvo I should add) and proceeded to suffer needlessly for several months, trying various treatments without success, before someone advised me to try chiropractic care.Needless to say, the results spoke for themselves, and from that point onward there was no confusion about what I wanted to do for a living.

At Family Chiropractic, we're proud to be able to offer massage therapy, both as a complement to your chiropractic care, or as standalone service. Just as you might expect, massage therapy involves the manipulation and kneading of soft tissues and muscles of the body. This action helps to promote healing and enhance a person's health and well-being, as well as being very relaxing!
At Family Chiropractic we have two Podiatrists/Chiropodists both are qualified to treat any number of foot problems, for example corns and callouses, ingrown toenails as well as biomechanical problems for which shoe advice and insoles are needed. Also available is podiatric acupuncture which is beneficial when dealing with pain.

Being a desk based individual I’ve had back pain on and off for many years, it finally became bad enough for me to seek professional advice. I was reluctant to see anyone and as an individual on the ASD spectrum I dislike close proximity to people - I explained this to Michael and he has been great. I’ve now been going 7 weeks and my pain has subsided and I’m much more comfortable. The reception team are friendly and I really can’t fault anything!! As I expect to spend the next 20+ years at a desk I will be booking for regular maintenance!

So grateful to have found Family Chiropractic after a few years of bouncing around different healthcare professionals for an on-going shoulder problem. From my first phone call to the practice, I was impressed with the professionalism and service I received and continue to receive. Patients are greeted by name as they come through the door and are instantly put at ease. Michael is a fantastic Chiropractor and takes the time to get to know his patients.

All staff members are so kind and attentive. My general quality of life has improved massively since starting my treatment with James - very thorough and effective chiropractic adjustments and I recommend Family Chiropractic to everyone I know who complains of neck and/or back pain. So happy I decided to stop coping with no relief after years of pain and finally seek help - it’s definitely an appointment in my diary I look forward to every time! Thank you!!!!

I have been going to Family Chiropractic for about 4 months and am very impressed with the care and attention I receive. From the informative reception staff at the time of booking my first consultation, every week they are happy and kind. My first consultation was very thorough and I enjoyed looking at my x-rays and discussing my care plan. I now see Michael on a monthly basis. My posture is improved and I am more aware of when to correct it. I have less aches and pains than before. I even enjoy doing my exercises at home. Each time I visit Michael has a different quote/topic on his window ledge

Michael and the team are great. I started with a thorough X-ray and check over along with a 2x a week appointments for 6 weeks. This then gradually was reduced to now 1x a month. It is really worth persevering through the initial programme to then be able to just keep maintaining it. I have really noticed the difference in my neck, back and hip since going regularly. Just wish I had found them sooner!

Always a warm friendly greeting from Suzy and Collette on the front desk, who are always happy to help with any queries you may have.
Michael is fantastic, at first I was really apprehensive but Michael soon made me feel very welcome and at ease. He always goes above and beyond to help.
I would recommend family Chiropractic again and again. They have all made such a difference to me in 6 months. Absolutely brilliant chiropractors.

Highly Recommended! Having tried virtually all of the chiropractors within a 20 mile radius, I can honestly say that Michael is head and shoulders above the rest. His attention to detail, empathy and execution of technique is second to none. I would not hesitate in recommending Ashford family chiropractic to anybody. Ten out of ten!

Highly recommend Family chiropractic clinic! Everyone is just amazing! I am always greeted with the biggest smile upon arrival and the ladies are very nice at the reception.
I see James for my chiropractic sessions who is very knowledgeable and very professional. I've had many advices how to release pain in my shoulders and neck and he is fixing my long term back and lower back pain and he encourages me to re-educate my body into a better posture.
I also see other James who is the new massage therapist. He has started in this position recently and I can honestly just recommend him. He is professional

Highly recommended.
Been going to Family Chiropractic for a number of years after a car accident.
The whole team are extremely friendly and can't do enough to help you.
The treatments are excellent so are Michael and James the practitioners. Definitely improving things for the better.
Collette and the reception team are extremely friendly and also very flexible around any last minute cancellations around my shift worker job.
