Chiropractic Care
Our comprehensive chiropractic care addresses musculoskeletal conditions through evidence-based manual therapies. We specialize in treating back pain, neck pain, and joint issues using hands-on adjustments and personalized treatment plans. Our approach emphasizes functional improvement and long-term wellness.
Spinal Adjustments
Precision spinal adjustments form the core of our treatment methodology. Using controlled force techniques, we correct vertebral misalignments to improve nervous system function and alleviate pain. Each adjustment is tailored to the patient's specific condition and comfort level.
Therapeutic Exercises
Customized therapeutic exercise programs enhance treatment outcomes by strengthening supporting musculature and improving flexibility. We provide guided exercise prescriptions to complement manual therapies and prevent future injuries.
Postural Assessment
We conduct detailed postural assessments to identify biomechanical imbalances contributing to pain. Our corrective strategies include posture retraining and ergonomic recommendations for work and home environments to promote optimal spinal health.
Preventive Care
Our preventive care programs focus on maintaining musculoskeletal health through regular check-ups and maintenance treatments. We educate patients on self-care techniques and lifestyle modifications to prevent recurring issues and maintain overall wellness.

Report
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.
