“I am passionate about the benefits of chiropractic and enjoy helping patients to lead pain free, active, healthy lifestyles. I am delighted that Leckhampton Chiropractic Clinic has been awarded the Patient Partnership Quality Mark (PPQM) by the Royal College of Chiropractors for the fourth time for period 2016-2018. The clinic was one of the first in the country to receive this award in 2007 and we are proud to be recognised as maintaining excellence in meeting patient expectations and the highest standards when they visit us for advice and treatment. The aim of the team at Leckhampton Chiropractic Clinic is to continually improve our levels of service and the PPQM Award encourages us that we are achieving this.”

In her spare time, Alison enjoys Yoga and Pilates, dog walking in the countryside, the theatre and travelling.

Claire Stephens, Claire graduated from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic in 2002, after gaining a BSc (Hons) degree in Human Science and Masters degree in Chiropractic. Since qualifying Claire has practised in a variety of multi-disciplinary clinics and brings with her a wealth of experience.

In her younger years Claire was heavily involved in gymnastics and trampolining, gaining coaching qualifications as well as competing. It was this fascination with form and function that led her toward a career in Chiropractic.

Since qualifying Claire has continued to broaden her treatment techniques and is able to offer modalities such as Dry Needling (medical acupuncture), Kinesio Taping and Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) in conjunction with chiropractic techniques as appropriate. Claire believes in providing the best, evidence-based treatment and enjoys working with patients to help them achieve their individual goals, whether that be fitness related or in their everyday lives. She has experience of setting up and running a rehabilitation gym and likes to provide exercises (when indicated) to help aid recovery and promote better self-management. Claire is experienced in treating a wide range of conditions and particularly enjoys helping in the management of chronic pain and with the management of headaches. She is happy to treat a broad range of patients, from newborns to those in their nineties, athletes to office workers, and enjoys the benefit that Chiropractic can bring to people from all walks of life. Since becoming a mother to two young daughters, Claire has also undertaken further training in paediatric treatment and enjoys providing care to both expectant mothers and children alike.

Claire is registered with the General Chiropractic Council, is a member of the British Chiropractic Association, and a Licentiate of The Royal College of Chiropractors.
