About West Dorset Chiropractic Centre in Bridport
We have recently established a new high quality chiropractic care centre in West Dorset, based in Bridport.
Our approach is simple. We believe that health is among our most valuable possessions. And while we generally meet people after they’ve lost their health, our commitment is two-fold:
1. Relief Care for Bridport
When many people seek care in our practice they have one goal: relief. So that’s where we start! During this initial stage of intensive care, we have several obligations:
Uncover the underlying cause of the health problem
Suggest a care plan to produce the fastest results possible
Offer ways patients can participate in their recovery
Explain the value of post-symptomatic wellness care
2. Wellness Care for Bridport
We encourage our patients to achieve the highest levels of health they can. Through educational opportunities (like this website), we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care. Our desire is to see our patients embrace the emerging wellness model of health that focuses on early detection, prevention and optimal well-being.
You’re the Boss
Regardless of your health goals, please understand that we see ourselves as mere servants. You’re the boss! It’s your body, your health and your future. Our job is to offer you the finest chiropractic care possible, and it’s up to you to decide how much of it you want.

Chiropractic for People
“Chiropractic is a health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculosketal system, and the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health. There is an emphasis on manual treatments including spinal adjustment and other joint and soft tissue manipulation.”
(World Federation of Chiropractic 2001)
What this means is that we provide care people of all ages, who come with all kinds of recent or long standing conditions.
We offer advice about self-help, exercise, diet and lifestyle, and can provide support for pain management, sports injuries and active rehabilitation. We try to find the cause of your problems we don’t just try to fix the symptoms, and we work with you to achieve your optimum level of health.
Only people registered with the GCC are allowed to use the title ‘chiropractor’ and chiropractic treatment is supported by research that proves both its safety and effectiveness. Training takes 4-5 years of full time study and all chiropractors regularly update their skills through continuing education throughout their professional lives.
Chiropractic for Animals
Why should my pet have chiropractic care?
Just like people, animals can sometimes get stiff and sore in their spines and joints. This can often be due to lifestyle.
Our pets often have long periods of inactivity, when we are out at work, followed by bursts of energetic activity, when we play with them or take them out for walks. We have bred them to develop certain body shapes which are different to how they evolved naturally and we walk them on leads and harnesses, which sometimes they pull against.
We are also guilty of overfeeding them, and some are naughty and go off chasing rabbits, jumping fences and squeezing under gates. And of course as they get older they can get wear and tear to their joints.
Dogs and cats can also suffer from many of the same joint problems that we humans get such as prolapsed (slipped) discs or arthritis. We go to the chiropractor for help getting straight again so why not extend the same care to our pets?
Chiropractic should never be a substitute for veterinary care, and we work closely with the vets to provide a complete range of care for your animalAfter being referred by the vet, your animal chiropractor will take a detailed history from the owner about the animal’s presenting symptoms and behavior. The animal’s posture will be assessed and note taken of any asymmetry and differences in muscle tone as well as head and tail carriage. Movement or gait will be assessed for any lameness or stiffness or if the animal is moving in an unexpected way.
Treatment
Chiropractic adjustments are short rapid thrusts to the joints which restore movement and alleviate pain, allowing the body to return to its natural balanced state. The aim is to return each joint of the spine or limbs to its full range of motion according to the animal’s natural conformation. Animals usually enjoy their treatments and will often stretch, roll, yawn or give themselves a shake after they have been adjusted.
You will be advised on aftercare as your animal may sometimes react to the treatment by being a little stiff and sore or even appearing worse for a day or two, this is normal and is just the body rebalancing itself. Your pet may also be off its food or be more sleepy after a treatment, but will very quickly feel much better. You will also be advised as to changes in exercise and ways to get, and keep your pet fitter
