About Us

Our Clinic

Blackfen Chiropractic Clinic opened its doors in 2012. We relocated in 2018 from Smile Sensations dental practice to 248 Blackfen Road, just across the road! We now have treatment rooms on the ground floor and first floor so if stairs are difficult for you, please request to be treated in one of our ground floor treatment rooms.

Our team of therapists includes three Chiropractors, two Osteopaths, four Clinical Massage Therapists, a Counselor and a Clinical Hypnotherapist. We draw on each other’s special clinical areas of interest to provide a complete package of care to our patients.

We look forward to meeting you and we will strive to exceed the expectations you have for a healthier lifestyle.

What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring, preserving and enhancing health through natural hands-on care. Chiropractors use a variety of treatment techniques to optimize spinal function and improve posture and movement patterns; thereby improving your overall health and wellbeing. Chiropractors work on all joints of the body, but concentrate on the spine. Chiropractic is a regulated primary healthcare profession.

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a gentle and effective hands-on approach to healthcare, based on the principle that the way your body moves influences how it functions. Osteopaths are highly competent healthcare professionals, recognised by the NHS as fully qualified to diagnose and treat independently.

What is Clinical Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy helps to reset muscular tension patterns and compliments Chiropractic and Osteopathic techniques (as Chiropractors and Osteopaths tend to focus on improving the bony framework of the body). Massage therapy can be very effective as a stand alone treatment too, and can help:

Relieve pain and stiffness
Improve blood circulation
Help fluid drain more efficiently from parts of the body
Improve the movement of different parts of the body
Promote relaxation
Reduce levels of anxiety
Improve sleep quality

What is Counselling?

Counsellors play a crucial role in improving the health and wellbeing of our society. They help people talk about their feelings, think about their choices or their behaviour, and make positive changes in their lives. Counselling is not about giving advice or opinions, but rather a platform to help patients understand themselves better and to find their own solutions to resolve or cope with their situation.

What is Clinical Hypnotherapy?

In broad terms hypnosis is simply an altered state of consciousness. Clinical hypnotherapy is the use of this altered state of consciousness to achieve a therapeutic outcome. With the help of a skilled hypnotherapist it’s possible to experience positive changes in sensation, perceptions, thoughts or behaviour; a bit like hitting a mental reset button.

C.T. & his staff are brilliant

C.T. & his staff are brilliant & provide a fantastic first class service. This morning for example I couldn't move my neck, emailed the clinic at 8am followed by a call from CT, and I was booked in for 9.30am. I saw Jen and she did a great job and explained what was causing the problem. Very highly recommended !! Don't leave those aches / pains like I used to do!!
