About Us

Established in 2002, St Ives Chiropractic Clinic has built a strong reputation for providing high-quality chiropractic care to the local community. Our aim is to help our patients manage pain, recover from injury and maintain good spinal and joint health.

We see a wide variety of patients, from those experiencing back, neck and joint pain to people looking for support with sports injuries and maintaining an active lifestyle.

Traditional and McTimoney Chiropractic

At St Ives Chiropractic Clinic, we offer both Traditional and McTimoney Chiropractic care.

Both approaches use chiropractic assessment and hands-on treatment, but they differ in the techniques and style of adjustment used.

Traditional Chiropractic uses a range of specific, hands-on adjustment techniques tailored to the individual patient. These involve controlled, directed adjustments with varying levels of force, with some adjustments producing the familiar popping or clicking sound.

McTimoney Chiropractic uses precise, controlled adjustments delivered with speed and accuracy. The techniques are generally perceived as lighter and gentler by patients, while still providing an effective chiropractic adjustment.

The most appropriate approach depends on the individual patient, their needs and their preferences. Our chiropractors will assess you and explain the approach they feel is most suitable for you.
