I struggled with lower back pain for years, having tried several other Chiropractors and Osteopaths, I have never had such amazing results. Arlene is extremely thorough in diagnostics and has reduced my pain with every session so far. I’ve had 3 of 12, and can say honestly I feel so much better, not totally pain free, but not off pain killers and am. Getting more mobile every week.
My husband has been coming to Arlene for a few months now. He has a rotator cuff injury and hasn’t been able to play any sports for 2 years. Thanks to Arlene and her great advice and treatment he was able to hit golf balls again this week. He still has a way to go but with patience on both sides he’ll be back playing. I thought my back was ok and decided just to have it checked. It wasn’t ok but now, after several weeks, I can’t believe how much stronger and flexible my back and legs are. Claire on reception always has a smille, the practice is very personal but also very professional from the moment you walk in.
My family and I have been visiting Chiropractic 1st for several years now as we enjoy the feeling of well-being that it gives us. We see it as maintaining the whole body, rather than just for back issues, as i initially thought chiropractors were used for. We travel a fair few miles for our visit but this is by choice as we put our trust in Arleen who is very knowledgeable especially when it comes to maintaining the body for maximum health benefits. The practice is very professional from the minute you step into it until you leave with a friendly/professional receptionist. There is also a fantastic range of health supplements on sale which have been recommended personally to us having noticeable benefits all round!
I have been seeing Arlene for several years after decades of suffering with back pain. Arlene has greatly reduced the severity and incidence of my problems and I consider her magic hands essential to my well-being.
Right from the start I felt confident in Arlene’s assessment of my situation, her advice and then her practice. The whole experience of attending Chiropractic 1st has a “feel good” factor and I have noticed a huge improvement in my pain levels and mobility.
Having suffered a chronic back problem for years and with little relief from osteopathy, I came to Chiropractic 1st with low expectations. Years on, maintained with only the need for monthly visits, I have never looked back – and when I do, it’s pain free thanks to the care I have received.
I bring my 12 year old daughter to the practice for adjustments. Arleen is amazing – calm, professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. She takes her time to explain the issues and offers advice on exercises to use at home to complement her treatment. Claire also is so friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend Chiropractic 1st.
Take the first step toward a healthier, pain-free life with Chiropractic 1st — your trusted chiropractor in North Yorkshire. We offer flexible appointment times to fit your busy schedule and provide expert care tailored to your needs.

Chiropractic 1st: Reviews
Fantastic experience: After having a flare up of a longstanding back problem I started going to Arleen. I could barely walk and was struggling, I’d tried physio before and it didn’t really help. Since going my back pain is barely there. Combined with exercise I now don’t take any painkillers, am active and virtually pain free.
Fantastic experience: Ive been coming to see Arleen for many years now. Both Clare and Arleen go to great lengths to make you feel you are worth their time and your care their priority. I came for a checkup and havent ever left. Their philosophy is about whole body care and can give advice an a multitude of things from vitamins to exercises to yoga to general wellbeing as well as the core chiropractic care. If you only come for that, your making a good start. They'll never judge your lifestyle choices but will support you gently into heathier living because we only live once and life's for living, right? Drop in and say hello. I promise you won't regret it.
Fantastic experience: I came to Chiropractic 1st as a bit of a sceptic, but I can honestly say I’ve been completely converted. Arlene, Claire and the whole team have been fantastic — not just in the treatment itself, but in creating such a friendly, welcoming, and supportive environment. They really take the time to listen and make you feel at ease, which makes a huge difference. I’ve had a really positive experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who might be unsure, like I was. Thank you to Arlene and the team!
Fantastic experience: Such a friendly , welcoming atmosphere. I have benefited greatly from my regular visits. My neck and shoulder problems have virtually gone.
Fantastic experience: I recently started visiting Chiropractic 1st for back pain, and I’m really impressed with the results so far. In just a few sessions, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my pain and overall mobility. Arleen & Clare have been incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional throughout, making the whole experience very comfortable. They take the time to really listen, explain everything clearly, and tailor the treatment to your specific needs, which makes a big difference. The clinic itself is clean, well organised, and has a very calming atmosphere. Appointments are well managed, and you never feel rushed, there’s a real focus on patient care and longterm improvement rather than quick I’d highly recommend this place to anyone dealing with any body pain especially back pain as it's my personal experience or looking for quality chiropractic care!
Fantastic experience: I had a really positive experience at this chiropractic clinic. From the moment I walked in the staff were friendly welcoming and professional which put me at ease. I originally went in because I was struggling with chronic headaches and previous physio treatments worked but temporarily. Arleen took the time to really listen to my symptoms and explained possible causes before beginning treatment. After just the first adjustment I noticed a significant reduction in both frequency and intensity of my headaches. It’s made a huge difference to my overall wellbeing. I would highly recommend this chiropractor to anyone dealing with headaches or tension related issues.
Fantastic experience: Receiving chiropractic treatment from Arleen has had an incredibly positive impact on my life. She has almost eradicated my pain from a sports injury, that I thought I’d have to deal with for life. It’s a very positive experience in great surroundings with a lovely team at the practice. Arleen is highly knowledgeable and professional and I would recommend to anyone seeking to enhance and improve their life.
Fantastic experience: I decided to invest a bit of time and money into myself at the start of 2026. The first thing being the lower back problem I have had for the last 4 years. It had got so bad it was affecting my sleep and I couldn’t lay on my left hip. 6 weeks into a course with chiropractor 1st and my lower back is feeling better than it has for a very long time and I am able to sleep comfortably again. I had tried osteopaths and physio’s but neither had made a difference. I cannot recommend chiropractor 1st highly enough. It has had an enormous impact on the quality of my life as I am now able to return to exercise and have so much more energy.
Fantastic experience: The BEST CHIROPRACTORS IN YORK I have used this practice for sometime for server back problem I have seen consultants in the past no operation can be done. Having had a serious chat with ALENE because of other medical complications it us best not to pursue any further pressure on my spine. Arlene as always been honest with my situation and I Can't thank her and her staff for the care I have received and would wish them a MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Arlene for sometime and found her very experienced and knowledgeable and forthright. Giving me a great deal of relief. Recently my situation as changed with regard to my person problem unfortunately two consultants have advised me that there's no operation can be done. I have spoken at length with Alene and due to other medical problems we have agreed to stop certain movements. Some chiropractors which I have come across would keep on taking money But not Arlene she calls a spade a spade. I personally have had the greatest respect for Arlene and the lovely staff. Thank you for your time of the years. I wish you and staff a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a PROSPEROUS New year. from TERRY. XX
Fantastic experience: I’ve been taken care of by Arleen for about a year now and I always look forward to my appointments. I originally attended for some pain my lower back and hip, which quickly eased, but I have been so impressed by how holistically Arleen works with the whole body, such as relieving some recent jaw pain and an injury in my shoulder. I always feel lighter and more regulated in my nervous system after an adjustment. It’s very clear that Arleen is passionate about her work and really cares. And I can’t forget Claire, always so welcoming and super efficient!
Very happy to hear you are feeling and functioning better. We are our biggest project and health is such a key part of living our best life. Thank you for your referrals as well. Looking forward to sharing a healthy 2026 with you. Thank you for sharing your story

Fantastic experience: After years of suffering from back pain, Arleen has made such a positive difference to my physical health and general wellbeing. I would highly recommend her.
Fantastic experience: Arleen is amazing and works miracles, after years of back pain I started going to Arleen who has 100 times over improved my pain and mobility. I still go every month for an adjustment to maintain my health,along with my daughter who is now seeing her every week for her ailments.
Fantastic experience: I never knew my posture would improve so fast after one year of relocating to the UK it felt like my body was not mine . But a single consultation with Arleen made me understand so much and my weekly meetings with her just made me realize how much my body could do if I could stick to certain healthy habits your body can cure itself And I wouldn’t forget Claire always up to date with every thing that has to be done
It has been a pleasure and you have taken all the advice on board and yes your body heals, it just needs a clear nervous system and some good lifestyle habits. Looking forward to sharing a health 2026 with you. Thank you for sharing your story
Fantastic experience: Excellent ongoing professional and treatment for my back from Arleen has reduced my pain and increased my movement. Always a friendly welcome from Claire on reception.
Fantastic experience: Friendly and informative treatment with everything explained thoroughly
Excited for next season for you. So many athletes use Chiropractic care to aid recovery and to stay well through intense training and long day. Thank you for your review
Fantastic experience: After struggling with crippling muscular back spasms and just thinking it was age and work related. I bit the bullet and enquired. Also at this time I was relying on a stick as I tore my hamstring. In my assessment it ensured that my spine was out of alignment causing my hips and shoulders to be also too. After my hamstring injury healed itself I still needed a stick. 3 weeks of twice weekly sessions stopped that. It also stopped my back pain. I now feel that I’m walking taller due to my exercises and weekly sessions. Thanks to you I’m a new woman. Still some work to do but I am now able to climb stairs , wash dishes and empty binbags. Daily tasks that I couldn’t bear before. I owe you so much. Many thanks again xx
I loved the day you told me you didn't need your stick anymore. We have to live a long beautiful life in these bodies and it is so much more enjoyable when we feel good and can do more. We are our biggest project, taking care of ourselves never ends. Thank you for sharing your story.
Fantastic experience: Amazing! Really helped me with migraines and over all health!! Highly highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic experience: I have been attending chiro 1st regularly for the last few years. The regular adjustments have made a big improvement to my back/neck pain and stiffness and keep it at bay. Arlene always knows exactly where the issue is and is able to treat accordingly. She has also given lots of advice and exercises to help alongside. The place is welcoming and Clare on reception is always friendly and helpful with appts. Would definitely recommend
It has been an absolute pleasure taking care of you over the past few years. A big part of regular care is keeping you well and making sure you can continue to do the things you love most. Thank you for sharing your story
Fantastic experience: After months of back pain with scans a physio not helping which was deteriorating to the point where my legs were giving way when trying to stand. I was introduced to the practice by a friend. I wasn't sure anything was going too help. I had just returned from two holiday I couldn't enjoy because I couldn't do anything. After my first session i felt an immediate impact. My neck hadn't moved as freely in years it felt like someone had put WD40 on it. Its not an instant fix but a gradual healing and aligning process. Arleen and Clare team up to give the most friendly professional care a person needs. Its not just about the back its a more holistic approach the wellbeing of the whole body. You are an individual there they know and your treatment is tailored to your individual needs. I paid in back by referring a good friend my friend told me she was so glad that she had gone there. Thank Chiropractic 1st
It has been an absolute honour taking care of you and so lovely to hear the improvements you are experiencing both in pain relief and other areas of health. We all need a bit of DW40 Chiropractic care as we get a bit older. Thank you for sharing your story and your referrals.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place and team, Arlene is brilliant, kind, caring and very thorough! Would not go anywhere else. You can tell she loves her job and is passionate about helping people. I cant wait to return here for treatment again, it made such a difference! Give it a go if you are on the fence and I guarantee Arlene can change your mind . I have also done the breathwork workshops which were truly fantastic. Arlene also helped me with her recommendation of vitamins to support my recovery. Thank you so much !
Fantastic experience: Arleen is very good at explaining how your body works and how with her adjustments it will start to heal again, Michelle who does the massage is really good aswell After only a few visits im starting to feel the difference, Im starting to build back my training routine now thanks to arleen Reception staff are friendly, all in all a great experience ,I would highly recommend
I love taking care of endurance athletes. That body has to work so smoothly through all that training. I know it still niggles but healing takes time. Great to hear you are able to up the training. Life is about doing more of what we love, and doing it without pain and injuries is always the best way. Thank you for sharing
Fantastic experience: I started chiropractic treatment in July after dislocating my hip & trapping nerves in my spine. I was in so much pain i hobbled into my first appointment & didn’t think the treatment would help, but within weeks I was pain free & I have felt so many other benefits since. My energy levels have increased, mental clarity, muscle strength, improved posture to name a few. Arlene has also given holistic advice on lifestyle, supplements & diet which have made a huge difference to my overall mental & physical well-being - no more achy joints or brain fog !!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and helpful to me and my partner. He has had back troubles all his life and hopefully they will sort this problem for him Thanks Karen
Fantastic experience: The service provided is time flexible and professional. I truly recommend all.
Fantastic experience: Arleen is a fantastic chiropractor. Very knowledgeable, caring and attentive. I have a much better posture after her treatment. Highly recommended!
So many more people are spending the majority of their days at computers including children. I am so happy you are getting the results you wanted. You can see that you are standing taller and just more relaxed. Your Posture is like the window to your spine. Thank you for sharing your story.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant-done from not being able to get out of a chair to nearly normal and mending every week after 30+ years of pain thank you x
You have responded so well and quickly to care. It is wonderful to see and I love hearing that you are able to do much more in your day to day life. Thank you for sharing your story
Fantastic experience: Really enjoying the whole experience of adjustments to alleviate my symptoms. I'm several years in and still learning how important a healthy spine really is! Always welcomed with a smile and receive a fabulous adjustment every time from Arlene. I leave feeling freedom in my spine and it sets me up for the day I would highly recommend anyone to take the first step to a healthier spine ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you
Fantastic experience: What a great service, expert knowledge and a friendly welcoming experience. As a man in his 50’s I was a little apprehensive about this but it has done wonders for my posture and overall wellbeing. Very good value for the expertise in adjustment and health management
Fantastic experience: I have been going to see Arleen for a couple of months now and have noticed a massive difference since my alterations, it has allowed me to exercise how I did previously, and play sports on a regular basis again, something I wasn't able to do before my sessions. Arleen is very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend.
I love seeing athletes back into the sports they love. Now to get you back on the squash court. Feeling good is the best way to live. Thank you for sharing your story
Fantastic experience: Can't rate Arleen and Claire highly enough. They are both very professional, efficient and friendly. I visited Chiropractor 1st after having months of constant back, neck and shoulder pain and within a few weeks I was and remain to be pain free
I love seeing transformations like yours. It can truly be life changing. I love that you come in smiling now and tell me how active your days are. Thank you for sharing your story
Fantastic experience: Aileen is amazing and although this is not a quick fix it has been worth it, I am pain free and cannot recommend chiro1st enough also a big shout out to Claire on reception who is super lovely and nothing is too much trouble
You are right healing naturally is not a quick fix, but restoring function takes time. The spine and nervous system are still largely neglected until we experience pain. It has been an honour. Thank you for sharing your story.
Fantastic experience: I have been visiting Chiropractic 1st to treat general stiffness in my neck and back for just over a month. Arleen’s extensive knowledge in the treatment to date has already started to deliver encouraging signs
I love taking care of athletes and looking forward to hearing about your next cricket season and experiencing the benefits of Chiropractic in sport. Thank you for sharing your story
Fantastic experience: Arlene at Chiropractic 1st has looked after me for almost 3 years now. In that time I have avoided muscle injury and barely picked up any sort of bug or illness. I truly believe that it is no coincidence!
It has been an absolute honour taking care of you through your healing journey. Chiropractic increases our resilience to all things, so we love to push our patients to do more as they get stronger. Thank you for sharing your story.
Fantastic experience: Arleen and her right hand woman, Claire are always cheerful and welcoming whenever I visit. I don't have a specific condition but I notice that I am releasing long term tension held in my body after each session. I appreciate the lovely environment and how I am proactively helping my own health and Wellness getting these adjustments along with lifestyle advice. I would recommend
I love when people start before the red flags, ie pain start. Stress and tension are held in our tissues and no we don't have to wait until we are in pain before seeing a Chiropractor. It has been a pleasure and love your positive energy in the practice. Thank you for sharing your story.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Arleen for a few months now. I really like the holistic approach to health. Very friendly and welcoming
It has been an absolute pleasure and look forward to hearing about your running adventures in the future Thank you for sharing your story.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Arleen and Claire. A very friendly, professional and warm team. Beautiful practice plus the treatment has been nothing short of incredible.
Fantastic experience: I came in with a few injuries that had been affecting my daily life for a long time, and thanks to the treatment and support, I’ve made a full recovery. Every session was professional, thoughtful, and effective. I felt truly listened to and well looked after. Highly recommend to anyone looking for real results and a welcoming atmosphere.
I think you quickly learned how important it is that we get the whole body to work together. It is never 1 joint or 1 muscle that is the culprit. The nervous system is the most intelligent network constantly working together with every cell in the body. It was also great to hear that you were running again pain free. Thank you for sharing your story.
Positive experience: Welcoming place but not for me found a better one at Active chiropractic. Which concentrates on the area in question and does acupuncture and other treatments as part of appointment. Plus I book when I want and am not having to pay lots
Fantastic experience: The best thing I have ever done. Could not recommend more. Everyone is absolutely lovely and she took the time to fully explain everything I needed to know before we started. I’ve suffered with a consistent migraine 24/7 for the past 4 years with no resolve from medical treatments. Since starting here 3 months ago, I’ve been pain free with only a few migraines which have been far less intense. I’ve had my first pain free days in my life
I love this story...life changing. Thank you for sharing your story.
Fantastic experience: Really pleased I choose this place for my chiropractor journey. The staff are so lovely and it's a beautiful setting.
Fantastic experience: Truly amazing, I went in with an issue with my neck and felt instant relief. The team are lovely and couldn’t be more helpful if they tried. Arleen has a wealth of knowledge and is always there to give you great advice whenever you need it. Have nothing but great things to say.
Fantastic experience: I'm back doing what I love to do! When I first visited Chiropractic 1st I was suffering from severe pain in my hips, thigh and lower back. I was struggling to walk very far or undertake physical tasks. My GP and a physiotherapist had been unable to make any difference. Now I am back to hillwalking and climbing mountains and am able to do my volunteer gardening job without any pain. Initially, Arleen carried out a thorough examination and agreed a treatment plan with me, explaining everything thoroughly. She also gave me lots of advice regarding, stretches, exercises and gave me the knowledge I required for a healthier lifestyle. I found my treatment of spinal adjustments to be such a positive experience and had every confidence in Arleen. Clare in reception made booking appointments so easy and nothing was too much trouble for her. I cannot recommend Chiropractic 1st, highly enough!
Fantastic experience: Wish I would have started this journey much sooner, I can’t put into words what a difference this has had on my life, the relief of back pain that doctors wouldn’t or couldn’t fix is great. I would urge anyone that hasn’t tried it to 100% go for it you will never look back.
Fantastic experience: Having suffered a fractured spine some years ago and spending too much time seated over lockdown I was in a bad way when I came to Arlene. I have NO DOUBT that the treatments I received got me to a place where I was then able to better care for myself - exercise, walk further, attend pilates . Now all things combined I am attending once a month and feel the best I’ve felt in years . Thanks Arlene as you definitely got me back on the road to recovery and now you are helping to keep me there . I should also mention the great customer service given from Claire too .
Fantastic experience: I had my first assessment appointment on wednesday and my results and first alignment today. I was made to feel welcome, the atmosphere was calm and friendly. Arleen made me feel at ease, comfortable and explained everything in good detail in a way I could understand. I have booked my next appointment in and am feeling positive about my first experience at a chiropractor.
Fantastic experience: After spending 4 years in pain and the GP just telling me to loose weight and build core strength I listened to my inner voice and knew it was sciatica and that there's more I could do... Fast forward to my first visit with Arlene where she made me feel at ease and told me she could absolutely help with the pain..... Little did I know the other benefits I would gain by starting my care plan with her.... Pain free within 4 adjustments... 6 months later I go regularly to maintain myself, I have more energy, able to enjoy more activities and push myself which I would never have before through fear of triggering pain.
Fantastic experience: When I first went to Arlene I could barely get up the stairs and was in constant pain...GPs and specialists were clueless and their only answers were to keep changing medication. Arlene told me straight away that my hips were misaligned and other things. Within 6 adjustments I was pain (& medication!) free and was able to walk briskly again. Within 12 weeks I was able to go hill walking! I didn't realise how physically limited I was prior to injury; like too many people, I only went to Arlene when I was in serious trouble, but have found that not only is my problem at bay but I'm feeling better and capable of much more than than I was when I was 20! (Now 46!)
Fantastic experience: After just a few sessions, I began to notice a significant improvement in my pain levels, mobility, and overall wellbeing. I always feel comfortable during each visit. What sets this practice apart is their genuine care for each patient. They prioritize your health and recovery, never making you feel rushed or like "just another patient." If you’re looking for a chiropractic clinic that combines expert care with a personal touch, this practice is the place to go. They’ve made a tremendous difference in my quality of life, and I’m grateful to have found such a fantastic team. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Seen a heap of chiro's. Loved the experience at Chiropractic 1st. Was in a bad way when I arrived in York for a weeks stay. The worst situation to be in on holiday. Initial contact with Clare on the front desk, who was extremely caring, helpful, quick to respond & get me in to help. Got me in with Megan who was covering for the usual chiro. Megan was absolutely outstanding! Comforting and very confident hands that absolutely knew what they were doing, with simple aftercare advice to help when I wasn't there Cannot fault the experience in their beautiful clinic. Thank you so much for ensuring my week in York was fun, rather than miserable with a dodgy back!!
Fantastic experience: I can't thank enough to all the staff members from Chiropractic 1st.They are all extremely professional and helpful.A kind smile and advices are always being given.I started the adjustments a month ago for my spine and I can see great results,my life is coming back to normal.I am very happy and grateful about everything is being done for my health.Without their professional help I wouldn 't be able to work and enjoy normal things.Thank you all!
Fantastic experience: Since starting with Chiropractic 1st, I have found that not only has my athletic career improved but also my general health. I haven’t been injured since working with them and the small knocks I get from fights are easily treated by the very caring team here, couldn’t recommend more
Fantastic experience: Such a great place professional knowledgeable and really friendly felt at ease from day one, my pain levels have reduced massively and mobility is on the up
Fantastic experience: Regular adjustment sessions with Arleen have kept me in good shape for the past 18 months. An added bonus is that she contributes to my general health and well being.
Fantastic experience: I've been attending Chiro 1st for a few years. When I went initially, I had chronic neck pain due to whiplash when I was much younger, and poor posture. My posture is now much better and I'm much more flexible and have much less neck tension than before. Arlene is very approachable and treats our symptoms holistically, and her expertise in dealing with the root causes of spinal misalignment and injury have really benefitted me.
Fantastic experience: Chiro 1st has transformed my health and neck movement! I have learnt a whole new understanding of the body and nervous system and no longer live with chronic back pain and headaches. The news of how important spinal health and alignment is to health is another of the hidden keys for humanity gaining sovereignty over our own wellbeing. The staff are always welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. I can't thank Chiro 1st enough! Philippa Innes (from my partners account)
Fantastic experience: I booked in to see Arleen after having recurring back pain and not getting the right support from a GP. I’ve now had a number of sessions with Arleen and straight away I could feel an improvement. The knowledge Arleen shares is very insightful and clearly explains what she is doing and why it needs to be done, along with how to prevent issues happening again. An initial consultation is great to understand if any adjustments are required before it becomes an issue. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service and chiropractic care from the team, could not recommend them highly enough
Fantastic experience: A first class chiropractic clinic in an accessible location in York. Arleen makes a thorough assessment of a patient’s needs and provides a reliable and effective treatment program, which involves regular ‘ adjustments’. All this takes place in an environment which promotes healthy lifestyle habits. Arleen helps me manage a chronic back condition which I live with every day. Without this regular care and support for my own back condition I would struggle to maintain the full and active lifestyle that I am grateful to enjoy. Thank you to Chiropractic 1st for their expertise, knowledge and support!
Fantastic experience: My son goes there for over a year now. Very welcoming environment. Excellent and very professional service
Fantastic experience: I've been highly satisfied with the service provided by 'Chiropractic 1st.' Initially unsure about how a chiropractor could help with my lower back pain, I've been pleasantly surprised by the significant improvement. The team has given me valuable insights, and I now feel more attuned to my body. The advice offered has been excellent, contributing to an overall better sense of well-being. Thank you
Fantastic experience: I recommend Chiropractic 1st to care for your spine and your overall wellness. Fantastic friendly service. The evening opening times are great for working people.
Positive experience: Very friendly, welcoming, well organized practice. Arleen takes a holistic approach to health, advising on diet & exercises. My back pain has improved since I started having adjustments. Knocked off a star as it's expensive & would be beyond many people's reach.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful and knowledgable staff. I didn't think I even needed a chiropractor until I was a couple of sessions in. I immediately noticed my health and general wellbeing had improved. I would recommend Chiropractic 1st to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Very professional, polite and clean environment
Fantastic experience: Since coming to the practice my back has improved massively , all the staff that work rhere are friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend anyone that has a bad back. You can't put a price on been pain-free and been able to move more freely
Fantastic experience: I cannot praise Arlene and Claire enough. Arlene is an excellent Chiropractor. She is also a very kind and caring young lady who does everything she can to help. I have such lot of faith in her. The first time I had my treatment I was in a lot of pain until I came out and was almost pain-free after just one session! Obviously it takes time to heal anything but I have felt so much better since I've been going to Arlene. I look forward to my treatments. Also, Claire is the best! Such a happy cheerful and helpful receptionist. She goes out of her way to help anyone. It's a pleasure to walk in to the practice and see her smiling face.
Fantastic experience: Been seeing Arleen now for a few months. I honestly cannot thank her enough for immediately discovering a problem with my spine which quickly led to an X-ray, MRI and diagnosis. She’s been an incredible support, offering not only adjustments but informed advice and a friendly welcome each appointment. You genuinely feel she cares about your whole health. Big shout out to Clare the receptionist too, who is so warm, efficient and fun, you can’t help but be cheered by her lovely smile.
Fantastic experience: I have suffered from back pain for years and years. But since seeing Arlene not only has my back pain reduced, my overall health has improved too!
Fantastic experience: I been visiting Chiropractic first a couple of times, Arleen was brilliant from the first initial meeting to the last treatment and helped me a lot to ease my pain, highly recommended
Fantastic experience: After years of ignoring niggles i've finally taken the plunge & in the first few weeks Arleen has managed to get my neck moving freely again & my posture has improved enormously, years of bad habits are slowly starting to disappear. i can definitely recommend Chiropractic 1st.
Positive experience: It's a warm and friendly clinic with welcoming staff who are willing to go the extra mile to help. The service is very professional and the long term results are fantastic. It feels a bit odd at first being treated in a public space but I've got used to it.
Fantastic experience: I have been receiving Chiropractic care from Arleen for just over 5 weeks and the results have already been amazing. I had been suffering with twice weekly migraine for just over a year and tried many different approaches with no success. Since receiving Chiropractic care, I have only experienced one very mild migraine! I am very grateful to Arleen not only for her wisdom and knowledge in relation to the body but also for her genuine care and enthusiasm for supporting people on their healing journey. I really enjoy my treatments and always feel a sense of wellbeing when I leave. The clinic is really friendly, I am always warmly welcomed, firstly by Claire on reception and then by Arleen. There is a feeling of warmth and care when you receive treatment here. I feel safe, supported and in amazing hands. I can not recommend highly enough.
Fantastic experience: After suffering with back / neck and shoulder pain for years and limiting movement of my neck and causing sick days I went to see the team here . At first i went 2 times a week and it kept reducing to the point where I now go when I need to / every 6 months . The difference in pain and mobility is amazing .no more waking up in agony and can do things that previously caused me pain such as carrying a rucksack etc . Would recommend to anyone to give it a go
Fantastic experience: I was suffering with severe lower back pain into my Hip and was three weeks from going to trek to Everest Base Camp. Arlene made a number of adjustments which resulted in me making the trip and also me reaching Everest Base Camp. I have maintained my appointments.
Fantastic experience: Been going for a few years due to ongoing back pain since being a teenager. The pinnacle point of noticing a difference was when I recently went on holiday and experienced zero back pain from carrying a rucksack and walking all day for a week when normally that would have put immense pain on my lower back. Through regular appointments/corrections/stretches, I am able to live a life without pain
Fantastic experience: I wish I'd have made the decision to have treatment here 2 years ago instead convincing myself my back pain was result of age /work , After 6 weeks the since my first visit I feel 100% better all round physically and mentally ,
Fantastic experience: Arlene is very thorough and consistent with treatment and advice. Plus the appointment times are flexible around my work schedule
Fantastic experience: I was recommended Chiropractic 1st by my sister - & I’m so pleased I followed her recommendation. I was quite apprehensive at going, thinking my aching back was just a sign of ‘getting old’ but both Claire and Arlene are so friendly and put me at ease from my first visit. Arlene explained clearly how chiropractic treatment works and my aches and pains reduced almost immediately after my first adjustment. Would definitely recommend to anyone to help reduce aches and pains and also to improve general well being.
Fantastic experience: I am currently having regular appointments in my third trimester of pregnancy and it is helping me so much with keeping my body healthy, free of discomfort and getting ready for birth. Arlene has a wealth of experience and is amazing in treating pregnant women. I would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Really great, personal care. Everything is tailored to your specific needs and is adaptable depending on your circumstances, including time, money etc. highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I have been having regular visits here for just coming up to a year now…and I just cannot recommend enough! The difference I feel from first walking in there to now is just fantastic! I often think I’m just so glad I did…! A thorough first appointment to discuss your plan of treatment…to adjustment appointments…along with lots of encouragement and advice…all followed through with a professional, caring, friendly approach…with the wonderful results that can follow!
Fantastic experience: Arlene has really made a great difference to my life. I am not stiff or in any pain anymore and feel amazing. She is a really great advisor on how to look after your health and you really feel so much better when you follow her advice and chiro programme. She gives me hope that I can age well and still be active. Also, Clare is amazing and such a pleasure to deal with as well.
Fantastic experience: I ALWAYS feel better after an adjustment. It’s not just physical either, my head feels clearer too. Arleen motivates me to think about my general health and well-being too, and has lots of practical advice on how to keep well and stay strong.
Positive experience: Arleen is very knowledgable not just in her practice but within further areas of health and well-being such as nutrition and is happy to share advice and answer questions to guide your journey. I am never waiting very long to be seen and always a very friendly welcome and fairwell.
Fantastic experience: My husband introduced me to Chiropractic 1st after visiting Arlene for some time and gaining long term results with debilitating low back spasms. I first met Arlene through the Yoga classes she runs at the practice and decided to book an assessment and adjustments to see if she could help me with some long-term pain problems that hadn’t been resolved through visiting my GP. What was very evident early on was that Arlene clearly leads a wellness orientated lifestyle and this translates to the knowledge, passion and enthusiasm she effects on her clients. Both my husband and I have gained results from visiting Chiropractic 1st and we have no doubt that we are in great hands.
Fantastic experience: Arleen is an excellent practitioner and deals with any issue with consideration and a kind and thoughtful manner. I have seen significant change in my own health since attending her practice and I would recommend chiropractic 1st highly to anyone wanting to improve their overall health.
Fantastic experience: I enjoy walking through the door at Chiropractic 1st where I always receive a warm welcome and chat with Clare before my adjustment. Arlene is passionate about chiropractic care and is always happy to advise you on living a happy and healthy life!
Fantastic experience: Arleen is amazing, My back is improving week to week with the adjustments she has been doing I was in Alot of pain. She also gives guidance on health to improve well being and life balance, could not recommend her more
Fantastic experience: First class treatment & holistic advice from Arleen at Chiropractic 1st
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. You get a warm welcome every appointment, place has a wonderful ambiance about it. Arlene is very thorough in her assessments, explains clearly and keeps you informed regularly. I have been going to the doctor and hospital for at least 4 years about my neck pain and 26 year about migraines but nothing was resolved only pain meds given. Even from the first adjustment I slept better and the neck pain had gone, after a few more adjustments I have no pounding headaches or migraines. I am so impressed by the treatment that I would recommend everyone go to a chiropractor. It’s changed my life.
Fantastic experience: I've wanted to see a chiropractor for years but never did, until this year. What was I thinking?? All those years wasted, wondering whether it would be any good. I can't compliment Chiropractor 1st enough. The ladies on the front desk are amazing, so friendly and helpful. Arleen, the main chiropractor is just brilliant. At the first appointment she checked me over thoroughly, we discussed my history, she checked my posture. She referred me for x-rays, before giving me any adjustments and gave me a few exercises to do in the meantime. The adjustments are amazing, I've gained half an inch back on my height, I'm not in as much pain with my back and legs, I've not suffered as many migraines as I was either, which alone is priceless. Even my balance, it was none existent, now I can balance on my right leg for more than 10 seconds and my left for 5. I'm sure as time goes on it will get even better If you are questioning chiropracty, I can only say, go for it, you won't regret it.
Fantastic experience: Really great experience. I feel more in balance and ease:)
Fantastic experience: I'm a few weeks into chiropractic treatment for neck and shoulder pain. I have been really impressed by Arleen's work and am finding gradual improvements in my posture and the functioning of my neck and back each time I go. I'm really grateful to have found something that works, and that definitely feels as if it is getting at underlying problems rather than just symptoms. And Arleen and Claire are both so friendly and cheerful - it's a pleasure to go for adjustments!
Positive experience: I was quite impressed by Arlene’s neurological examination tests and the report document of results that she puts together. My first experience of her manipulation techniques was really good!! Walked out of the clinic feeling so much better. Unfortunately, I think I may have caught Arlene on a bad day when I first came to the clinic. I felt like I was annoying her for whatever reason and that maybe she thought I was being overdramatic about the pain I experience on a daily basis… i came back for the follow up results appointment and I was amazed by her analysis of my body and posture etc. I was pleased to get some sort of insight and clarity and I have no doubt that she definitely knows what she’s doing. The plan she puts together is very comprehensive and makes complete sense except I can’t afford the masses amount of money that Chiropractic 1st charges… I mean, they only offer courses of 12 sessions 2 a week and then recommends a second round. There isn’t an option to do single sessions. I appreciate it is a business, it is private, it works for many people and they do say that you can’t put a price on your health and it should be an investment. Plus, as I said, Arlene is very good with her skill and techniques and she knows how things work best. I just felt intimidated by the plan and the cost that was swiftly thrown at me and I felt like I was signing my soul away haha! I didn’t think we had a good start either, maybe that’s just me but that’s how i felt and I can’t help that. Recommend for people who suffer in pain on a daily basis and have tons of money. For me, I’m going back to seeing a sports masseuse and an osteopath. I’m disappointed that I can’t afford a chiropractor like Arlene. Thanks ☺️
Fantastic experience: The team here are professional, friendly and kind. I cannot recommend them enough
Fantastic experience: Many years of care from Arleen and the wonderful Claire on front desk. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Really wish I had started treatment sooner as the difference to my mobility and wellness is getting better and better. Would recommend
