Treating problems with joints, bones, muscles and their effects on the nervous system

York chiropractic primary health-care treatments

Chiropractic is a primary health-care profession, so you do not need to be referred by your doctor, instead you may approach us directly.

A chiropractor is trained to diagnose your problem using careful examinations and x-rays/MRI scans where appropriate, and will refer you to another health-care practitioner if necessary.

Joints, bones and muscle problems?

Chiropractors treat problems with joints, bones and muscles, and the effects they have on the nervous system. Working on all the joints of the body, concentrating particularly on the spine, chiropractors use their hands to often make gentle, specific manipulations, to restore normal function, relieve pain and aid the body's natural healing ability.

Treatments catered to you

Chiropractic treatment can involve a range of other techniques, including massage, exercise and stretching advice. Every patient is carefully assessed and, if suitable, an appropriate treatment plan is designed to maximize their potential benefit. We are confident that our friendly team will see you through to recovery.

The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends chiropractic treatment for lower back pain. Chiropractic does not involve the use of any drugs or surgery and is a treatment suited for all ages.

Went in a few weeks ago with what I can only describe as chronic nerve pain.
Henry explained the problem in plain English and without medical jargon so I could actually appreciate and understand what he was passing on to me.

Been every week since I walked in and seen continuous improvement since my first visit. What makes this a 5 star review and not a 4 is the first class customer serviced I have experienced since attending.

Henry is superb and I have recommended him any chance I have gotten. Still wouldn’t be able to sleep properly if he hadn’t corrected my nerve troubles!

Thanks a lot to Henry & the team.

Been visiting Acomb Chiropractic for a few months now and it's made a huge difference to the way I feel. I was getting a lot of pain across my lower back and shoulders (probably caused by being hunched over a desk all day) and since I started coming regularly it's eased up massively. Definitely recommend!

I have been struggling with back issues for a number of years which has resulted in me finally accepting that I can probably not run at all anymore. My back was getting to the point that even walking recreationally was starting to cause me issues. However, after just one session with Henry Atkinson my back showed signs of improvement and I was able to go for a 13 mile run / walk in the North York Moors which felt so good. It has felt so good to have the ability to exercise pain-free again and I even completed the Hardmoors Ultra recently, a 30 mile trail run in the North York Moors. I will continue to see Henry to ensure that I can continue to enjoy walking and running in the hills!
