Your First Appointment
Our Initial Consultation Process
We take time to understand your condition properly before any treatment begins. Here is exactly what to expect when you visit us for the first time.
1
Discussion of Health and Symptoms
Your chiropractic journey begins with a detailed discussion of your health, lifestyle, and current symptoms. This helps your chiropractor understand your needs and tailor your treatment for the best results.
2
Physical, Posture and Movement Exam
We carry out an assessment of posture, movement, and spinal alignment to identify areas of tension or restriction. This allows for a more accurate and effective chiropractic approach to your individual case.
3
First Chiropractic Treatment
If clinically appropriate, you will receive your first personalised chiropractic treatment at this appointment. Using safe, evidence-based techniques, we focus on easing pain, restoring movement, and improving overall function.
4
Aftercare and Home Advice
After your session, we will provide simple aftercare guidance, including stretches, exercises, and lifestyle tips, to help you maintain progress and prevent future discomfort between sessions.
5
Your Treatment Plan
To support lasting results, we will outline a personalised treatment plan covering the number of sessions expected, the techniques we will use, and your goals. Whether you are seeking pain relief, posture improvement, or ongoing maintenance, we will guide you toward better movement and wellbeing.
Conditions We Treat
Conditions Our Chiropractors Treat in Bristol
Our chiropractors assess and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions affecting the spine, joints, and soft tissues. Whether it is a recent injury or a long-standing issue, we identify the root cause and create a personalised plan to get you moving again. We always start with an initial consultation, where we establish the cause of your pain and agree a plan of action.
Back Pain
The most common reason people visit a chiropractor. Whether it’s a sudden onset or a long-standing problem, our team identify the underlying cause, disc, joint, or muscle and build a plan to get you back to normal.
Sciatica
Sharp, shooting pain that travels from the lower back into the buttock, leg, or foot, often caused by a compressed or irritated nerve. Chiropractic assessment and treatment can relieve pressure and reduce symptoms effectively.
Neck Pain
Poor posture, long hours at a screen, whiplash, or a stiff waking-up injury, neck pain has many causes. We assess the whole cervical spine and surrounding structures to treat the source of the problem, not just the symptoms.
Shoulder Pain
Rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, impingement syndrome, and bursitis all respond well to expert assessment and hands-on treatment. We examine both the joint and the surrounding structures to find what’s really driving your pain.
Elbow Pain
Tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and general joint stiffness around the elbow are often caused by overuse or poor movement patterns. Our team assess and treat the soft tissue and joint mechanics contributing to your discomfort.
Knee & Hip Pain
From sports-related strain to osteoarthritis and bursitis, our team assess the whole kinetic chain, not just the joint itself. Understanding how the hip, knee, and foot work together is key to lasting pain relief.
Headaches & Migraine
Many persistent headaches originate from tension in the neck and upper back, particularly in people who spend long hours at a desk. Chiropractic care can significantly reduce both the frequency and severity of headache episodes.
Why Choose Us
Why Choose The Hanham Clinic for Chiropractic Care
We believe great healthcare starts with honest, qualified professionals who put your wellbeing above everything else. Here is what you can expect when you choose The Hanham Clinic for chiropractic treatment in Bristol.
GCC Registered & Regulated
Registration with the General Chiropractic Council is a legal requirement under the Chiropractors Act 1994, it is a criminal offence to call yourself a chiropractor in the UK without it.

Our chiropractors are trained in a wide range of techniques and select the most appropriate approach based on your individual assessment findings. These include Diversified spinal manipulation, Activator methods, joint mobilisation, Active Release Technique, soft tissue therapy, dry needling, and tailored rehabilitation programmes. No blanket approach, no unnecessary treatment.
No-Pressure, Pay-As-You-Go
Unlike some clinics, we do not ask you to commit to a block of sessions before your treatment begins. Your chiropractor will give you an honest estimate at your first appointment and review your progress at each visit. You book as you need to, and every recommendation is made in your best interest, not ours.
Longer Sessions, Better Care
At The Hanham Clinic we do not rush our treatment sessions. You will be given the time you need. Our sessions typically last twice as long as appointments at some other chiropractic clinics, meaning a thorough assessment and high-quality treatment every single visit.

FAQs About Our Chiropractic Treatment in Bristol
Everything you need to know about chiropractic treatment at The Hanham Clinic. If your question is not answered here, please call us on 07946 426514 or email info@hanhamclinic.co.uk and we will be happy to help.
What does a treatment from a chiropractor involve?
Chiropractic is not a specific treatment, but a regulated healthcare profession. At The Hanham Clinic, our GCC-registered chiropractors use a range of evidence-based techniques tailored to your individual needs and clinical findings. These may include spinal manipulation (including Diversified technique and Activator methods), joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, Active Release Technique, dry needling (medical acupuncture), kinesio taping, and personalised rehabilitation exercise programmes
What conditions can a chiropractor help with?
Our chiropractors commonly treat: general, acute and chronic back pain, sciatica, mechanical neck pain, cervicogenic headaches and migraine prevention, rotator cuff injuries and shoulder pain, ankle sprains, muscle cramps and spasms, tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow, hip and knee pain from osteoarthritis alongside exercise, lumbago, minor sports injuries, and plantar fasciitis. This is a broad list and individual suitability depends on your specific case. If you are unsure, call us on 07946 426514 and we will advise honestly.
Do I need a GP referral to see a chiropractor?
No. You can book a consultation directly without a referral from your GP. Although many patients visit us following recommendations from other healthcare practitioners, self-referral is entirely straightforward. Once booked, you will receive a confirmation email containing appointment details and a link to a brief online medical questionnaire to complete before your visit.
Is chiropractic treatment safe?
Yes. Chiropractic care is considered safe when delivered by a qualified, GCC-registered practitioner following a thorough assessment. GCC registration is a legal requirement in the UK under the Chiropractors Act 1994. All our chiropractors are fully registered and carry out a detailed consultation and physical examination before any treatment begins to ensure it is appropriate for your condition.
How do sessions at The Hanham Clinic differ from other clinics?
We pride ourselves on giving the highest quality service by not rushing our treatment sessions. You will be given the time you need. Our sessions typically last twice as long as appointments at some other chiropractic clinics. We always encourage you to take an active role in your recovery, providing goals, exercises, and strategies to help yourself between sessions. We do not block-book large numbers of treatment sessions and your care is never a blanket approach.
Can I choose which chiropractor I see?
Yes. You can select a specific practitioner through our online booking page. If you call us to book, you can also request a particular team member, though this may sometimes mean waiting a little longer for availability. All our chiropractors are qualified to Masters Degree level and are registered with the General Chiropractic Council. You can read about each team member on our meet the team page.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies depending on your condition, how long you have had it, your age, and your response to treatment. Many patients notice meaningful improvement within 3 to 6 sessions. Your chiropractor will give you an honest estimate at your first appointment and review your progress regularly. We do not require you to commit to a fixed number of sessions upfront and will always be transparent about your progress.
How quickly can I get an appointment with a chiropractor in Bristol?
We are usually able to offer an initial consultation within 48 hours, depending on availability. We offer flexible appointment times including early mornings and evenings to suit patients across Bristol. You can check current availability and book online via our booking page, selecting either an Initial Consultation for new patients or a Follow-Up Appointment if you have seen us before.
Is chiropractic treatment suitable for sports injuries?
Yes. Chiropractic care can be effective for a range of sports-related injuries including joint strain, muscle tension, and postural issues related to training load. Our clinic provides personalised rehabilitation programmes to help athletes recover safely and improve performance. Several members of our team have personal experience competing at club level and understand the demands of sport from both a clinical and practical perspective.
What qualifications do your chiropractors hold?
All our chiropractors hold Masters Degree level qualifications and are registered with the General Chiropractic Council. Our team have trained at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic (AECC) and the University of South Wales, two of the UK’s leading chiropractic institutions. Dean Matthews, our Clinic Director, also holds a post-graduate qualification in Medical Ultrasound from the University of the West of England (UWE, 2023). You can read more about individual qualifications on our meet the team page.
