Chiropractic is a registered primary healthcare profession that specialises in finding out the root cause of your symptoms and providing highly skilled treatment to help resolve the problem. People mostly see chiropractors for back and neck pain, but chiropractors are trained in managing other musculoskeletal problems too, for example Tennis Elbow, Frozen Shoulder and more. Chiropractors specialise in treating problems of your joints, bones and muscles and the effects they have on your nervous system. Chiropractors use safe, gentle, specific spinal manipulation to release joints in the spine or other areas of the body that are not moving properly. This is sometimes called an “adjustment”. Apart from manipulation, chiropractors may use a variety of techniques including ice, heat, ultrasound, exercise and acupuncture as well as advice about posture and lifestyle. Doctors of Chiropractic (DC’s) must undergo a minimum 4 year full-time training covering subjects such as; anatomy, biomechanics, biochemistry, general diagnosis, neurology, nutrition, pathology, philosophy, psychology, physics, physiology, radiography, radiology, along with spinal analysis and adjusting procedures. Chiropractic treatment is therefore very safe as chiropractors undergo excellent education. They keep their knowledge up to date by undergoing Continued Professional Development. Chiropractic dates back to 1895 when Canadian Daniel David Palmer performed the first chiropractic adjustment and went on to found The Palmer School of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa in 1897. Chiropractic has since developed and is underpinned by scientific research, hence gaining recognition and respect for the place it has taken in the primary healthcare environment.
Accredited by Private Healthcare Providers
95% of people will receive a treatment on the first visit. However, in some circumstances, it is important to have an x-ray before commencing treatment. Soonius Chiropractic can refer you for a private x-ray or write to your GP explaining that further investigation is necessary before commencing treatment.
Soonius Chiropractic aims to provide exceptional Chiropractic care. These are our beliefs:
That each one of us is individual, and has unique needs. What works for one person might not work for another, so additional time is always taken to provide personalised treatment programmes. As a result, each person gets as long as they need for treatment.

She holds a qualification in advanced dry needling (medical acupuncture). Dry needling is very effective for pain relief and has helped many of her patients.
She has trained in Sacro-Occipital technique, which is a gentle technique enabling her to help pregnant women. Andrea found that she really enjoyed seeing great success treating pregnant ladies, so went on to train in further pregnancy courses to give her the skills to help women at this important time of their life.
She also discovered the importance of faulty foot biomechanics (problems with your feet) and how it is linked to spinal and lower limb pain. This led her to specialise in Orthotic Therapy. Andrea uses an advanced diagnostic system called Gait Analysis to advise people on whether prescription made insoles can help reduce their pain.
In 2008 Andrea had a serious car accident. Her own injuries have led her to an even deeper understanding of pain and joint problems. Andrea says: “When I was seen by a therapist I wanted them to listen to me, answer my questions, take their time, perform a thorough treatment and give me additional advice if needed. I am a friendly, honest, positive person and believe that everyone should be treated with the highest level of chiropractic care. I am committed to helping people. My approach is to “leave no stone unturned!” I want to know what is causing the pain, and how can we get rid of it for good. I give advice on exercises for rehabilitation, nutritional, lifestyle and ergonomic advice. I can adapt my technique to treat people from all different backgrounds. I use minimal pressure so that people can relax and enjoy their treatment, and I always aim to achieve maximum results.”
