Our comment from PhysioFinder.net about Helen Worthington:

A Unique Dual Expertise in Human and Equine Care

Worthington Chiropractic distinguishes itself through the rare ability to provide specialized treatment for both humans and animals under one roof. The practice is led by Dr. Helen Worthington, whose clinical skills have earned the trust of patients ranging from those managing chronic health issues to equestrians seeking peak performance for their competition horses. This unique dual focus allows for a comprehensive approach to well-being, where the physical health of humans and their animals is often viewed through a connected lens, particularly for clients who engage in equestrian sports.

Trusted Clinical Expertise and Personalized Treatment

The team, including clinicians like Laura, is consistently praised for their deep knowledge and thorough assessment methods. Patients frequently highlight Helen’s ability to quickly identify the root cause of their issues, whether it involves complex joint conditions, back pain, or neurological concerns. The care provided is not just corrective but also preventative, with treatment plans designed to fit seamlessly into daily life. Clients appreciate the practical, clear action plans that empower them to take ownership of their rehabilitation, supported by an environment where questions are always welcome and explanations are delivered in understandable terms.

Exceptional Results for Equine Patients

A significant portion of the clientele includes horse owners who describe the improvements in their animals’ mobility and comfort as remarkable. The team’s natural affinity with animals allows them to handle even the most difficult or wary horses with calmness and confidence. Whether addressing arthritis in older animals, recovery from injuries, or enhancing performance in show horses, the feedback indicates that the treatments lead to noticeable improvements in movement, impulsion, and overall quality of life for the animals.

A Warm, Welcoming, and Professional Atmosphere

Beyond the clinical skills, the experience at the clinic is defined by its warm and friendly atmosphere. Patients value the personable nature of Dr. Worthington, who balances professional expertise with humor and genuine compassion. The administrative staff, particularly Vicky, are often mentioned for their efficiency and welcoming demeanor, ensuring that appointments are well-organized and clients feel supported. The clinic’s beautiful setting, described as an oasis of calm, adds to the therapeutic environment, making every visit a pleasant experience that leaves patients feeling not only physically better but also mentally relieved and cared for.

Fantastic experience: Helen is a fantastic, caring person and Chiropractor. She is very professional and has been a constant for me for many years, providing the treatment I need. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Helen is outstanding with my horse and I cant recommend her highly enough. Odin is a big horse at 18hh and not the easiest to manoeuvre, but Helen always handles him with complete confidence, calmness and skill. She is extremely knowledgeable about the horses body, and the improvement in Odin's comfort and movement after each session is always noticeable. I trust her assessments completely and I wouldn't take Odin to anyone else.

Fantastic experience: Helen always goes above and beyond in her care, treating both myself and our horses with incredible skill and kindness. She not only keeps me on the straight and narrow, but is always ready with honest advice and guidance on the best way forward — for animals and humans alike. Her invaluable opinions are shared openly, and the treatment plans she creates are clear, practical, and easy to follow. I’d honestly be lost without you!!

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Helen’s for over 15 years now. Helen is so professional and knowledgeable as well as being an extremely warm and friendly person. She goes above and beyond and has helped me immensely over the years. I couldn’t recommend Helen enough. The clinic is lovely and always a warm welcome from Vicky too.

Fantastic experience: Sceptic to super fan I came to see Helen initially full of scepticism. In my mind at the time chiropractors were on a par with shamen and witch doctors. A combination of social media videos and horror stories in the media leading me to that opinion. From my initial conversation with Vicki to arrange my first appointment to a bright, “any questions?” from Helen at the end of that appointment I could not have been more impressed. There were no questions, the depth and breadth of Helen’s knowledge is outstanding and inspires such confidence. That knowledge delivered with an incredible sense of humour ensures you leave each appointment feeling so much better in body and mind. I cannot recommend the team at Worthington Chiropractic enough, there certainly are not enough stars. If you think or have thought a chiropractor could help you then you need to book an appt with Helen. It also doesn’t hurt that the treatment rooms are an oasis of calm nestled in a beautiful building surrounded by flowers and bird feeders….

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about the incredible care my horse has received from Helen Worthington Chiropractor. Initially Helen was asked by Leah Knight to treat her competition horses, Milo being one of them - that was approx 5 years ago.From the very first visit, it was clear how knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate Helen was. She took the time to thoroughly assess my horse, explain what was going on, and develop a tailored treatment plan. The difference in my horse has been remarkable—he’s moving more freely, performing better, and is clearly much more comfortable. What really stands out is Helen’s gentle yet firm approach and ability to connect with animals; my horse, who can be quite wary, completely relaxed during treatment. 5 years on we are still benefiting from Helen’s truly amazing work. Milo is thriving under her care. We have no doubt that Helen is one of his favourite humans

Fantastic experience: Helen has played a huge role in getting my horse comfortable and happy again after a few injuries. Helen has been so patient and positive with us, every appointment is stress free and I always walk out with a clear plan and every question answered. I can’t thank her enough for everything she’s done for us!

Fantastic experience: My lab retriever, Luna, has been diagnosed with degenerative arthritis in her spine causing stenosis. When we started at Worthington she was in considerable pain, could hardly weight bear on one of her legs and her whole body was out of sync. Along with her medication, coming to Helen for chiropractic has made her a lot more comfortable and she is always keen to come back. Her gait has improved a lot, pain improved and she can now do short, gentle walks which is just brilliant. I highly recommend the skill and kindness Helen gives to all the animals under her care and the consideration she has for their owners too. (And Vicky’s efficiency and friendliness). The environment is beautiful too!

Fantastic experience: Five star service!!! Helen has treated my mare for the past 18 months and it is no coincidence that this has been the best time I’ve had with her in four years! I would not be where I am without her guidance, expertise and exceptional clinical skills and am very grateful she was recommended to me.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: I absolutely wouldn't hesitate to recommend Worthington Chiropractic. My dog has been attending for four years and it has helped her so much. The staff are just lovely and Helen has an amazing way with her canine clients. She has won my dog over so much that she now runs into her appointments with pure enthusiasm and is always excited to see Helen. I can't thank her enough for how much she has helped Lily! ❤️ Five stars for sure ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fantastic experience: Helen is a wonderful chiropracter. She keeps my back in good working order. She is very professional and is a lovely person.

jacqueline w Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Helen’s diagnostic skills potentially saved my life in 2021. She has continued to provide good care and treatment since, to allow me to carry out normal day to day activities and always with a bit of craic added at each appointment too! Vicky is also just lovely, always chatty and so organised in the admin department.

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much to Helen for helping me with my headaches, neck pain and stiffness in my back and shoulders. My headaches have completely settled and I feel my posture has improved over the last year of treatment. Helen is always so professional and is full of enthusiasm throughout the appointment. I highly recommended this chiropractor and Vikki is always so friendly and welcoming at the front desk. A pleasure to attend their clinic

Helen Worthington

Thankyou Orla for your lovely review.

Cerys Brown Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of Helen. Helen has been treating both me and my horse for almost 10 years and we couldn’t be without her. Helen’s knowledge is second to none and she is so thorough in her examination and treatment. Helen helps me live a more comfortable life, without her treatment I would struggle daily. Not forgetting Vicky who keeps everyone so well organised with appointments well in advance. You deserve more than 5 stars guys!

Fantastic experience: Amazing service

Rachel Boyle Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Been going to Helen for years and always find her treatment really beneficial and important for maintenance of neck and back care in my job as a nurse. Her experience and expertise is invaluable and the craic is always ninety too! Vicki at reception couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. Great wee team!

Gavin W Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr Helen Worthington is always a very professional, knowledgeable, effective and highly qualified Chiropractor with humans as well as animals. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly she is able to get straight to the route of an issue and get it resolved or keep things maintained. I would certainly highly recommend Worthington Chiropractic

aaroon fogarty Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Helen is an exceptional clinician. Of course she is very knowledgeable and thorough in her assessment and treatments, but she is also great at explaining all that’s going on and why problems arise and how to manage these when they do happen. Simply brilliant

Nicky Burke Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Helen, very professional service. Excellent advise given, investing time in me as a valued customer. Great value for money. Thank you Helen

Ruth Byers Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Helen is amazing, she has helped not only myself but my dogs also. She keeps my shows dogs in tiptop condition to perform at their best. Helen has treated me and helped me overcome everything from lower back pain to migraines and vertigo. I highly recommend Worthington Chiropractic

Anne Matthews Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Another wonderful treatment session for my dogs - thoroughly recommend Helen for her chiropractic therapeutic work in treating animals :-)

Shannon McComb Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Worthington Chiropractic holds the most warm welcoming yet professional staff. Dr Helen Worthington’s treatment and rehab plans are effective, well designed but most importantly practical for fitting around day to day life. Vicky is always one step ahead and very accommodating when booking future appointments.

Fantastic experience: Helen is a very professional and skilled chiropractor who always takes a holistic approach to my treatments. I have a number of chronic issues that could seriously affect my mobility however, with Helen’s help I continue to be agile in my day to day life and sporting activities. I have such faith in her abilities that I have referred her to family and friends on many occasions. In the 19 yrs that she has been treating me, I have travelled to her base, wherever it may be, as I would be reluctant to receive treatment from any other chiropractor. My current travel time to her clinic is about an hour. Helen is a very kind and compassionate person with whom I quickly built a rapport. She demonstrates her caring nature on each visit and this gives me confidence that she is treating my physical issues and is also concerned about my overall well being. She was very supportive to me when my mother died and has always been willing to listen and give me sound advice on many issues. I have come to consider her a friend and I value her opinion. Highly recommend Helen Worthington, Chiropractor

Nicky Finnis Published on Google

Fantastic experience: What this lady doesn’t know isn’t worth knowing! I have never been treated by such a professional, knowledgeable and kind person and I couldn’t recommend Helen more highly.

Philomena Johnson Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Helen is fantastic at what she does, very knowledgeable and able to explain any issues in a language that is understandable.

Lisa Sharp Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Helen’s knowledge and experience is just phenomenal! Her ability to assess any issues you have starts from when you get out of your car and walk towards the building. Her pertinent and intuitive questions help make a diagnosis quickly and her ability to explain issues in a comprehensive manner really helps the patient understand their body. Helen has a holistic attitude and will provide clear action plans to improve a situation allowing the patient to take ownership and assist their own rehab. Helen’s “can do” attitude goes above and beyond, which creates a unique feeling of trust between practitioner and patient; something that is so important when you put your health into a professional’s hands. Helen has supported my entire family over the past 14 years, dealing with complex knee surgeries, emergencies, digestive issues and migraines. She has also treated two four-legged members with advanced arthritis, allowing them a quality of life they would not otherwise have in their latter years. It is no exaggeration to say I cannot recommend Worthington Chiropractic enough!

Fantastic experience: Helen is absolutely amazing at her work, what a difference she has made to my horse he is like a new man, I would highly recommend Helen

Fantastic experience: Laura is really knowledgeable and provides a fantastic service from her modern and well equipped practice. I saw Laura following a personal recommendation for persistent neck pain that GP, physio and another chiropractor hadn’t been able to fix. I felt, on my first appointment, that she got to the root of the problem straight away and I’m now fixed!

Steven Taggart Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Been going to see Laura for the last few weeks as she came highly recommended, in the short space of time the difference she has made to my back is unreal didn't realise how bad it was until she freed it up currently feel about 10 years younger would 100% recommend her services to anyone struggling pain in your back and neck

Shannon Baird Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I have been a client of Worthington Chiropractic for over 5 years and cannot recommend the work that Helen and Laura do enough. Working initially with my horses, the change in their way of going has been night and day. Laura has a fantastic way with the horses, and is always at the end of the phone if you ever have any questions. I now also use Laura for my own personal chiropractic work after having noticeable effects with the horses , suffering from joint issues and lower back pain I have had great results from treatments. I find it especially helpful that Laura can assess both myself and my horses and make the connections that may be causing these.

Fantastic experience: Laura Devenney has been treating my now 9 month old grandson from birth, my 12 year old horse mad daughter, myself and our horses and ponies for last 9 months (various riding mishaps and work related problems). I can honestly say I wouldn’t go anywhere else. She gets us in tip top condition until the next mishap then she does it all over again. If I could give 10 stars I would.

Fantastic experience: A huge difference to the horses overall stance, impulsion and jump following treatment by Helen. Would highly recommend.

Matthew McCarthy Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend enough! 5 Star review. I was met with a High Standard, and that standard has remained throughout, exceptional.

Jenny Leishman Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Helen is great she does a good job with my pains,very professional, friendly and knows her stuff.I would highly recommend this place if you need any treatment.

Shannon Dando Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Really cannot recommend Worthington Chiropractic enough for both humans and animals. Initially attended with my 3 legged dog Peggy who was having difficulty using her remaining rear leg. I spoke with Helen on the phone and she was able to get us booked in with Laura straight away. Laura was a natural with Peggy from the start, she was so relaxed she even fell asleep during her first session (Peggy, not Laura ). Pleased to say after only a couple of sessions Peggy hasn't had any more episodes of lameness and is back enjoying her walks again. My mum has also started attending sessions with Laura and is already feeling the benefits as well. Laura is a lovely girl, very friendly and clearly knows exactly what she is doing. Well worth the almost 100 mile round trip we make to see her. Thanks again Worthington Chiropractic ❤️

Jacqui Avery Published on Google

Fantastic experience: My horses have been being treated for around 18 months now. Helen worked wonders on a newly broken youngster and eased his back issues. Laura is now working hard with my current pair of riding horses and after each session I truly notice such an improvement with the horses ability to bend and stretch when schooling. Both ladies are naturals with the animals. Must treat myself to a session sometime soon x

Fiona Tiffney Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Helen and Laura do a fantastic job at keeping my horse in great shape. Always at the end of the phone for any questions or general 'owner-panic' queries! Hes much more comfortable doing flatwork for longer and his jump if anything has become more powerful. Many thanks for all your help guys!

Clair Dundas Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Hands that speak a 1000 words. I go in broken and leave fixed. Both Helen and Laura really know their stuff and i really cant recommand these guys enough. Thank you for your AMAZING work until the next time

Paula Hamilton Published on Google

Fantastic experience: An Incredible team at Worthington chiropractic! You can be guaranteed a 5* professional diagnosis and treatment plan. My show dogs are treated here regularly to keep them in tip top condition. I'm delighted with the treatment they receive, it has made a big difference to my dogs and to me knowing they are in good knowledgeable hands. Thanks team Worthington!
