What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a primary healthcare profession that specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and overall management of conditions relating to joints, ligaments, tendons and nerves, especially relating to the spine.
Treatment involves a wide variety of manipulative techniques designed to improve the function of the joints, relieving pain and muscle spasm. Other methods of treatment such as mobilisation, soft tissue therapies, stretches and the use of rehabilitation programmes may also be used.
Chiropractic focuses on causes, not just symptoms. It is therefore suitable for both acute (recent) and chronic (long term) conditions.
Chiropractors are trained to take and interpret x-rays and as primary health care professionals are qualified to assess your general health.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US

Tom

Having grown up in Cornwall I have a certain appreciation for the pace of life here and the traditional values that bind the local communities together. I try to keep life as uncomplicated as possible and that translates to how I try to work as a chiropractor. An important part of the job is taking complex issues and breaking them down into their constituent parts so that they are easier to understand and explain.
I graduated from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic in 2009 and after working in various clinics to build experience in 2013 I took up a position as an NHS chiropractor at Cathedral Chiropractic in Truro. The clinic suited my philosophy of keeping treatment evidence based and sticking to the tried and tested techniques that chiropractors perform well. The patients’ best interests are at the core of the way I work and the advice that I recommend.
In 2022 building work was completed for a new clinic to run alongside the Truro practice to provide a dedicated space from which to work from home.

Tansy

I grew up locally with my brother Tom and can’t imagine anywhere else I would rather bring up my 3 energetic young boys. After college I followed my desire to become a masseuse and graduated in 2010 with diplomas in massage therapy, hot stone massage, Indian head massage as well as a diploma in anatomy and physiology. I have worked in a spa setting as well as offering treatments from home.
I took a little break while I had my children, but I am really excited to continue my passion of massage therapy. My husband building a clinic next door for Tom provided the ideal opportunity for me to do this.
