About Us
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the muscles, the skeleton and the nervous system and their effects on general health. Symptoms of these disorders include but are not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the arms or legs and headaches. These rarely cure themselves. We at the Portobello chiropractic clinic are here to treat yours. Our goal is the same as yours: your good health.
Pyrrha and Nicholas Lamond founded and operate the clinic. A brother and sister team, we were inspired to become chiropractors by our aunt, one of the pioneering members of the profession in the UK. We are trained to the highest international standards, having each completed a 5-year full time course at the best known chiropractic college in europe. Our training included skeletal radiology and radiography, enabling us to take and read x-rays and to order and read MRI, CT and bone scans. We have built up a wealth of experience having worked for many years in busy practices.
We offer the highest standards of chiropractic care to all age groups, using the best chiropractic treatment tables and x-ray equipment.
Our Philosophy
Treat the cause, not the symptoms.
Our Aim
To maintain the highest chiropractic standards and help you keep in the best of health.

Many people are surprised at the range of conditions that chiropractors can treat. The explanation is that many of these conditions have the same root cause: misalignment or stiffness of a joint pinching or irritating nerves. For example, pinched nerves from joint problems in the upper neck may cause headaches; in the lower neck, they may cause pain in the arms; in the lower back they may cause pain in the legs- also known as sciatica.

Our Treatment Techniques
At the Portobello Chiropractic Clinic we have several techniques to treat the spine and other joints. We select from them which will suit your problem best. Sometimes we use our hands deliver a quick, highly accurate thrust. We have zenith chiropractic adjusting treatment tables in the clinic which have specially designed moving sections that allow us to treat your low back and neck without twisting the spine. Occasionally we can use an instrument (an activator) which directs a small precise repeatable force to a fixated joint. With children and babies, and some adults, we use a slow, constant pressure to get a joint moving properly.
The key is to use the precise amount of energy, at the exact place, in the right direction, at the right time, to get joints moving again. Chiropractic is truly an art. We have spent years learning to fine tune the way your spine and other joints move.
Chiropractic adjustments are more precise than spinal "manipulations" or "mobilization." Adjustments are not rough, they use the least amount of force possible to get joints moving again. It is this precision which distinguishes chiropractic from other types of treatment. Doctors of Chiropractic excel at making adjustments comfortable, precise and effective.
Almost anyone can benefit from chiropractic treatment. Newborns, infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly, even patients who have had back surgery or hip replacements. We tailor your treatment to your size, age, flexibility and state of health.

About Pyrrha Lamond DC MSc Chiro
I started working as a chiropractor in 2001. Since then I have worked in busy practices in Bromley and Horsham, all the while expanding my knowledge and learning new techniques with continued professional training. Having studied Experimental Psychology at Oxford University before training as a chiropractor, I am interested in the psychological as well as physical benefits of chiropractic care. I enjoy the diversity of people that I can help with chiropractic treatment: my eldest patient so far is 96 years old, my youngest 3 days old; they range from office workers to manual laborers.
My area of special interest is treating chronic conditions, particularly of the neck and low back as well as headaches. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is seeing the transformation of my patients as their health improves. It is great to see them gain confidence and take control of their lives.
