Frequently Asked Questions
I am not sure whether a Chiropractor can help with my condition?
If you’re unsure if chiropractic treatment can help with your condition, you may wish to arrange a free, no-obligation discussion with a chiropractor. This may be over the telephone or at the chiropractor’s practice. You should ask whether the chiropractor treats your condition.
If you decide to go ahead with treatment, your chiropractor will assess your condition during your first visit (the initial assessment) before explaining possible treatment recommendations.
You don’t have to agree to the treatment the chiropractor recommends then and there. Just let the chiropractor know if you would like more time before deciding.
Finally, you may also wish to consult with your General Practitioner and seek their advice.
Can you just go to a chiropractor?
Yes, you can self-refer. You do not need a referral from your GP. In fact, many GP's will recommend to see a chiropractor if you present to them with back pain.
How can I be sure treatment is safe?
Chiropractic treatment is safe when performed correctly by a trained and registered chiropractor.
It is common to experience mild to moderate aches and pains, stiffness and tiredness. However, these side effects are usually mild and generally pass within a few days. More serious side effects are rare but have occasionally been reported following spine manipulation.
If you have a pre-existing medical condition, certain risks may increase. For this reason, the chiropractor will take a detailed medical history and examine you prior to treatment (the initial assessment). It is essential that you provide the chiropractor with accurate information regarding your medical history.
The chiropractor is obliged to treat all information confidentially. Any particular risks that may be relevant to you or your condition should be explained by the chiropractor before consent to treatment is given.
Will the treatment hurt?
Chiropractic treatment is usually painless unless an area is swollen. If this is the case, your chiropractor will alter the treatment that you receive. You may also hear a clicking or popping noise. This is perfectly normal and commonplace with chiropractic treatment.
Some patients also report temporary aches and pains during and after treatment. Again, this is nothing to worry about and is perfectly normal.
If you are uncomfortable with the techniques being used during your treatment, you should talk to your chiropractor.
What if the treatment doesn't seem to help?
At the start of your care, the chiropractor will explain what improvements they hope to achieve and when these might occur. The chiropractor will monitor your progress at each visit.
Some conditions may only improve after a few treatments. If not, the chiropractor will reassess you and decide whether to change their treatment approach or refer you for further investigation (MRI, X-ray) or treatment to a different healthcare professional.
If your chiropractor decides to refer you to another healthcare professional, they will ask for your consent to communicate with that professional regarding your treatment.
Can I claim on my health insurance to cover the cost of chiropractic appointments?
The majority of health insurance companies such as 'Vitality' will provide you with a certain amount of cover over a period of a year, this could be up to a specified amount or a percentage of the fee of each appointment.
Please check your cover to understand what you can expect to claim.
What Our Patients Say
DON'T JUST TAKE IT FROM US...
Absolutely wonderful practice, prompt, professional but ‘human’!!
Nice feel overall.
Managed to get a quick appointment once I explained the pain I was in.
I booked in to to see Mike Gillingham for an initial neck injury problem - couldn’t move my neck and in a lot of pain.
Walked out with no pain and able to move my head/neck again, comfortably.
Am being treated too now for other issues I had and am extremely pleased with the results so far.
He is very caring, understanding and talks you through every step of the way and explains everything before, during and after. Mike promotes a feeling of confidence and ease which is so lovely when feeling very nervous, unsure and in pain.
Worth every penny.
Thank you Mike!

NECK PAIN
I had a trapped nerve, that caused me neck pain, and pins & needles down my arm and hand.
I went for a few sessions and now feel much better. Would highly recommend.
Andrew T.
NERVE PAIN

Michelle T.
BACK PAIN
I had the pleasure of meeting Mike Gillingham chiropractor years ago when I was in desperate need of treatment for my neck and shoulders, which had effectively seized up and left me disabled he saw me very quickly and resolved my problem.
I have continued to have treatment every few months to maintain my good health. The cost is very reasonable, considering the benefit I derive from my ongoing treatment
I always look forward to my appointment as Mike is a lovely caring person and very professional. I give him the highest recommendation and my thanks.

NECK PAIN
I've been going to see Mike since 2021 following an injury. Ever since regular check-ups have kept me upright! Mike is professional, knowledgeable and caring. The new set up in Nansledan is great.
Seth R.
BACK PAIN
Have been Mikes patient for quite some time now so it was very easy to follow him to his new nansledan practice.
Apart from the wonderful location (much better) Mike always continues to provide the very best of treatments, he’s genuinely a kind, caring yet such a professional practitioner.
With his calm gentle manner you always know he listens and he explains everything prior and throughout a treatment which puts your mind at rest.
I see him regularly every 5/6 weeks to keep topped up, and he’s always available if any little problems crop up in between.
Can’t recommend Mike enough, he’s a credit to his profession.
Do book in with him you won’t regret it.
Thank you for all you do Mike ⭐️
