Nadene has treated me throughout my pregnancy, making sure my pelvis and round ligaments were properly aligned. I suffered with hyper-mobility in my left hip during my third trimester, which was debilitating and painful. Her treatments and advice were excellent, and before I was due to give birth to my baby, the problem had resolved.
What is Chiropractic?
The Chiropractic health profession is concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints and muscles), and the effects these disorders have on our nervous system and general health.
At Tivoli Chiropractic Clinic, we use a range of techniques to help reduce pain, improve function and increase mobility, the most common being manual treatments like spinal adjustment and other joint and soft-tissue manipulation.
We may also incorporate Pilates or Shockwave therapy as part of your treatment programme, depending on your condition.
When you visit one of our highly trained Chiropractors, they will take a holistic approach to your treatment by addressing the whole of you, including your physical, mental and emotional health. They may also offer advice on diet, exercise, lifestyle, and rehabilitation programmes that involve exercises to do at home.
We also know that no two patients are the same. So, all of our treatments are tailored to you and your specific body type and needs.
What Can We Treat?
Chiropractic care can help people of all ages, allowing you and your body to reach its fullest potential by staying strong and healthy.
Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, suffer from work-related back pain or are going through changes in your body through pregnancy, Chiropractic treatments will give your body the best opportunity to heal, grow stronger and prevent any long term problems.
Conditions we commonly treat:
- General acute and chronic back pain
- Sciatica
- Mechanical neck pain
- Joint pains from osteoarthritis
- Headaches caused by neck problems
- Prevention of migraine
- Muscle spasms
- Rotator cuff injuries and conditions arising from minor sports injuries
SOT
Chiropractic treatment can take many forms. One such example used at Tivoli Chiropractic Clinic is the Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT).
SOT uses a gentle evaluation system to identify specific indicators, alongside postural, orthopaedic and neurological testing, to determine which SOT category you are currently in. An individualised programme of care can then be provided, with further investigations recommended where necessary.
It provides a holistic approach and allows your practitioner to gain a large volume of information about the way different areas of your body are communicating, functioning or compensating. We assess the relationship between the pelvis, spine, cranium, TMJ, extremities and visceral system (organs), helping to identify and address the root cause of your complaint.
The treatment itself can be integrated with other chiropractic techniques, depending on each individual patients needs and preferences. Low force adjustments and light pressures may be used on your pelvis, spine and cranium. Pelvic blocks are also often used to allow correct alignment to be gently restored.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy places extra pressure on the body as posture, weight distribution and hormones change throughout each trimester. This can often lead to back pain, pelvic discomfort, joint stiffness and muscle tension.
Our Chiropractors use gentle, tailored treatment to help reduce discomfort, improve mobility and support the body throughout pregnancy. Treatment may include hands-on therapy, soft tissue techniques, mobility work and advice on posture, movement and exercises suitable for each stage of pregnancy.
Chiropractic treatment can also help to rebalance the soft tissue structures supporting the pelvis during pregnancy, which may aid comfort and promote a more physiological birth.
We take a holistic approach to pregnancy care, supporting not only physical comfort but overall wellbeing throughout your pregnancy journey. We also have a trusted network of local services and practitioners we can personally recommend for additional support, alongside helpful resources for you to take away.
All care is tailored to both pregnancy and your individual needs, supporting your body as it adapts during this time.
At Your First Session
Before you visit Tivoli Chiropractic Clinic, we will ask you to complete an online registration form telling us about your current condition and general medical health. Some of the questions may not seem important, but they will help us to establish an overall picture of your health and determine whether Chiropractic care is appropriate for your condition.
Physical Examination
During your initial visit, we will discuss your concerns before performing a thorough physical examination using a range of orthopaedic and neurological tests, as well as assessments of posture and range of movement to help with diagnosing your condition. We think it's important you can help yourself, so we will advise you on the most effective way you can deal with any pain straight away.
Chiropractic Report of Findings
Following your Initial Consultation you will have a follow up appointment, called the Report of Findings. Your Chiropractor will talk you through your condition, discuss the best ways we can help you and create a personalised plan to help you achieve your goals. If no further investigations are needed and care is appropriate, you will have the option to begin treatment should you choose to do so.
What Our Patients Say
Sarah
Nadene is lovely. She’ll treat you and work with you to prevent recurrence. She’s patient and professional and has a real understanding for the complexity of problems and that occasionally a multidisciplinary approach is best. It’s wonderful to have a chiropractor who I can trust to genuinely help, one who genuinely cares and who’s great fun too!

Shon
I've been having treatment at Tivoli Chiropractic Clinic for the last few weeks and have been really impressed by the quality of care and high level of customer service the team offers. I've noticed a marked improvement in the pain and mobility issues I was experiencing with my neck and shoulder, and have appreciated the way Katie works - keeping me informed on my progress, and having a personable manner that has helped explain why I've been experiencing the issues and putting a plan in place to deal with them. She even arranged for me to try out a pillow to help with my neck pain!
Helen
After suffering years of lower back pain following an injury, I am now experiencing more mobility and hardly any pain. The care and treatment I have received from McCoy has been excellent and my only regret is not coming here sooner! I cannot recommend Tivoli Chiropractic Clinic enough.
Emma
I went to see Nadene for chiropractic treatment for severe pain in my neck, shoulders and jaw that had been affecting my everyday life. I had tried several things before, but nothing seemed to help. From the first appointment, Nadene was brilliant. She took a holistic approach, really listening to what I was experiencing and making me feel heard and understood. The treatment plan was carefully tailored to my level of pain, and she explained everything clearly so I always felt comfortable and supported.
I’m still on the journey with treatment, but the improvement so far has been incredible. My pain has reduced significantly and it’s made a huge difference to my quality of life.
David
So impressed! I have used various clinics over the years as i have moved around the country but this is definitely my favourite. Nadene takes time and a genuine interest in you and your symptoms, and has a gentle but effective approach to treatment. And helps identify the cause as well as treat the symptoms. But in a realistic way in the context of a busy day to day life.
Polly
Worked like a magician, Katie did the initial consultation with such empathy and knowledge, she understood exactly why I was in such a lot of discomfort. Our meeting was on day 2, this was assessment of her findings from the consultation, she did the first treatment immediately after. I can honestly say that within 48hours I was like a different person. The chronic pain and painful walking had diminished hugely. I felt able to stand better, climb stairs faster and felt more like myself again.
I cannot recommend this clinic highly enough, the staff are welcoming and professional. This clinic has restored my faith in chiropractic.
Josie
I have thoroughly enjoyed attending the pilates classes with Rachel. She is a fabulous teacher and I'm feeling much stronger and more confident.
Fiona
McCoy is knowledgeable and an expert chiropractor. She has helped immeasurably with my back issues initially (but then also with my knees, hips, elbows, wrists, shoulders and neck!). Her ministrations have kept me working, hiking, and open-water swimming, all pain-free. If you are suffering from mobility issues through joint pain and/or stiffness, I highly recommend that you get in touch and give her an opportunity to help get you moving and pain free again.
Anna
I had tried seeking advice and treatment from so many doctors and physios, but no one was able to treat me effectively. Thanks to Nadene I have made a remarkable recovery and am pleased to have my life back without having had to resort to any invasive surgery. I would highly recommend Nadene and Tivoli Chiropractic to anyone with a back problem.

Kevin
I previously injured my lower back and sought help from Tivoli Chiropractic Clinic. I had never tried chiropractic care before, but Katie patiently listened to my history and explained the treatment and healing process to make me feel at ease. Wonderful place if you are looking for reliable and professional clinicians to help, highly recommended!
Eva
I've been seeing McCoy for a few months now, and the difference to my mobility and pain has been astounding. It's like having a new back! Just knowing that there is an action plan for getting me in the best place I can be is a massive weight off my mind.
