Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care addresses musculoskeletal conditions through manual therapies and evidence-based techniques. We treat back pain, neck pain, and joint issues while emphasizing patient education and preventive strategies. Treatment plans incorporate spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and lifestyle recommendations to improve mobility and reduce discomfort.
Initial Assessment
New patients receive comprehensive evaluations lasting 45-60 minutes. This includes medical history review, physical examination, and discussion of treatment options. We prioritize informed consent and develop personalized care plans based on individual needs and clinical findings.
Follow-up Treatments
Follow-up sessions focus on implementing treatment plans through manual therapies and therapeutic exercises. Each 20-30 minute appointment includes progress monitoring and adjustments to care strategies. We emphasize patient participation through self-help advice and home exercise programs.
Therapeutic Exercises
We prescribe customized exercise programs to complement manual treatments. These exercises improve strength, flexibility, and posture while preventing future injuries. Patients receive clear instructions and ongoing support to ensure proper technique and progression.
Spinal Adjustments
Our spinal manipulation techniques aim to restore joint mobility and alleviate pain. Performed with precision and care, these adjustments target specific areas of restriction while maintaining patient comfort. We discuss potential benefits and risks before administering any manual treatments.

What an excellent service Francis and Rachel offer. Unfortunately in August I again hurt my back which only seemed to get worse over the next couple of days. I contacted Rachel who arranged for me to see Francis within a few days. Upon examining me he found significant tension in my lower back, right hip and leg which severely restricted my movement causing severe pain. After my treatment I was a lot more comfortable but still had some restricted movement.

I was given a set of simple exercises to help and had two futher visits with Francis before we were confident I was properly on the mend. After a couple of weeks continuing with the exercises I am fully recovered. I cannot thank Francis enough and highly recommend the service he offers. Having made a silly move while gardening I hurt my back which after 5 days wasn't getting better. After a very thorough examination & explanation of my issues Francis manipulated my my back giving me more movement & comfort which has continued to improve each day since I highly recommend this practice

I can't recommend Furness Chiropractic highly enough. I had suffered with back pain on and off for the better part of a decade until Francis assessed and treated back, the results are fantastic.

Very professional and friendly, extremely knowledgeable and gives a good insight into whatever the issue you are trying to resolve may be, is very honest in what you can expect from treatment. I suffer from a long term condition that Francis is helping me to understand and explore different types of treatment in order to aid with symptoms. I would definitely recommend Furness Chiropractic to anyone that could benefit from it

I had my first appointment today and I wasn't expecting any miracles but my back instantly feels much looser. Francis and his wife where very friendly and welcoming and very informative, I would certainly reccomend Furness Chiropractic to any one suffering from pain or discomfort.

I can't thank Francis at Furness chiropractic enough. After suffering excrutiating neck pain, shoulder pain and headaches for close to two decades; Francis managed to provide me with relief after only a few sessions. He carefully explained what I could expect from his procedures and he listened to my concerns. He is easy to talk to and puts you at ease with his professional and friendly manner. I only wish I had seen him sooner. If your in pain with your spine or neck I highly recommend you visit Furness Chiropractic.

Lovely people with a wealth of experience. Felt really involved in every step of my treatment and took the time to explain the problem and the best approach to fixing it. I would highly recommend Francis should you need the services of a chiropractor.
