The Body's Framework
The bones, joints, muscles and nerves form the body’s framework. Caring for this framework has a positive effect on our health and supports overall well-being. When we move well and have no pain, we can do the things we love.
Chiropractors help people with complaints relating to their framework. We are extensively trained to assess, diagnose and treat conditions affecting these important parts of the body. We provide a personalised approach, using a combination of hands-on treatments, education, advice and exercises to restore healthy movement patterns and optimise posture.
Chiropractors are primary healthcare professionals and can see you without a referral.
We are regulated by the General Chiropractic Council, so you can be confident that you will receive the care you deserve.
What To Expect
Your first visit:
During this appointment, your Chiropractor will do a full assessment, including taking a health history and performing a physical examination. Sometimes you will be referred for X-rays, MRI scans or blood tests. This may be helpful for your Chiropractor to be able to make the most precise diagnosis.
Thereafter your Chiropractor will explain what is wrong, and what can be done to help get you better but more importantly keep you better too. We call this your treatment plan. We usually start treatment during your first appointment with us.
We frequently work in conjunction with our on-site soft tissue therapists, as we find that a combined approach is often indicated, and leads to quicker, better results. Your Chiropractor will discuss this with you, if it is relevant to your individual care and treatment plan.
Following your first appointment, we will provide you with a written report, outlining your diagnosis and treatment plan. This will help you and your loved ones in understanding your condition and your recovery journey and will support you in taking an active role in getting better again.

EXCELLENT 258 reviews Lee Samwell2025-06-24 Great service as always, from walking into reception and getting warmly greeted to Rowan doing her magic once more. Patrick Carey2025-06-19 Dr Rowan Chanin has been very professional and friendly throughout my treatment. My sciatic pain has very much eased due to the treatment I have received. Keith R2025-06-19 Highly recommend Rowan. She immediately reduced the excruciating pain from my trapped nerve, over the following couple of weeks had it under control and a few short weeks later managed completely. Her excellent knowledge is delivered with great care and attention. Thank you. Chris Lee2025-06-18 Dr Rowan is amazing !! In just a few treatments my chronic neck and head pain has been significantly reduced and virtually pain free. I have received a mix of techniques, including acupuncture , alignment manipulation, and massage. Dr Rowan has got to know me, and knows what my body needs each time i see her. Philip Joyner2025-06-11 I first attended Blackfen Chiropractic with hip and Achilles problems. Over several visits my hips have settled down and I can now enjoy long walks which were not possible a year ago. I have had a couple of massage sessions on my legs which have also helped. CT introduced me to a programme of Shock Wave therapy which has reduced the pain and inflammation in my Achilles. I have a few more sessions to go but can thoroughly recommend the clinic. Everyone is so pleasant and willing to please. Every part of my treatment has been fully explained throughout. Megan B.2025-06-11 I was recommended Blackfen Chiropractic from a family member who had a really positive experience, and am glad to say that I have as well! I've been seeing Dr Rowan for a few months now, and it had made such a difference - not only to my pain levels, but also to my own awareness of what's going on with my body and how I can better take care of it in between sessions. Ugo Macri2025-06-10 Excellent experience. My back pain is getting better and better. I have tried other chiropractors in the past 25 years and I think Dr Aimee Nicholas is the best I have met so far.

Aimee has really helped release issues with my shoulders and look at new Injuries I've caused to myself whilst I've been under their care.
