We focus on restoring functional capacity through personalized treatment plans that include postural correction, targeted exercises, and lifestyle modifications. Patients benefit from our multidisciplinary approach that integrates medical research findings with practical clinical applications.
Neck Pain Treatment
Specialized neck pain treatment addresses structural and postural issues causing discomfort. Our approach includes manual therapies, muscle strengthening exercises, and ergonomic advice to alleviate symptoms and prevent recurrence.

Our approach emphasizes long-term habit changes for sustained results.

The first time I visited David was in 2015, I was in an incredible amount of neck pain due to an injury and felt like I was in limbo not knowing what to do next. Without a doubt, I whole heartedly know that if it wasnt for Davids knowledge and understanding of my symptoms, I would be in a lot worse place physically than I am now.
5 years on, Ive had multiple Cervical surgeries/fusions plus other procedures and David has been there for me every step of the way.
Whilst learning to live with chronic pain has not been easy, having David as my chiropractor has taught me so much. It does

My lower back was constantly in pain and I just generally felt stiff. I saw Dave for a few weeks and he helped me perfect my deadlift form which we found out was the main cause of my issues. Haven't had a problem since

For years I had excruciating pain in my back, I went to physios, doctors, pain management people, all to no avail. Then my GP recommended I see David McNaughton. Well, after a few treatments, it wasn't long before I was feeling a lot better! (and a lot happier too). David is careful not to hurt you. He has a kind and personable manner, listens well, and professional approach to your health management. His practice has a lovely ambiance, and you're never kept waiting to see him. Some notes on the location, there is a set of stairs to his rooms with a handrail. Parking has never been a problem, I
