“Chiropractic care is a powerful, natural approach to keeping your spine and body in optimal health.”
What Is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic is a form of healthcare focused on identifying and treating issues related to the musculoskeletal system — including the spine, joints, muscles, and nerves.
This approach is completely natural, involving no drugs or surgery, making it a safe and effective alternative to conventional treatments for a wide range of conditions. While the term “chiropractic care” is often used broadly to include various holistic therapies, the core technique involves precise, hands-on adjustments to address spinal misalignments — known as subluxations. These imbalances can develop from poor posture, injuries, repetitive strain, or everyday wear and tear, and they often contribute to pain, stiffness, and restricted movement.

I have 38 years of patchy recovery from a nursing back injury.
This intensive approach has markedly reduced my painful episodes and spinal posture problems.
My family has noticed a big difference in me with many obvious and subtle improvements.
I look forward to continuing this progress with both Edo and Phil to achieve further improvements.
Saved me from different injuries and helped me a lot of chronic issues I was dealing with.
He is a saviour.
Highly recommended
You are always polite, very knowledgeable with great approach to patients.
To all interested - do not hesitate, I highly recommend! See you soon!
Will definitely be visiting again!
I would fully recommend Alive Chiropractic,
Edo is a very warm, welcoming caring and does not judge.
He explained what and how he was going to help me , had an extensive treatment period to begin with and then became a monthly visitor .
He has been so much help to me over this time and I would recommend his gifts to everyone.
A truly lovely man and gifted communicator and practitioner.
If in pain go and give him a try , living in a body that feels like a prison is no fun but this guy has the keys to set you free!

Explains proposed programs well
Very confident that treatment will be successful
Highly recommend
I am sleeping more comfortably again, my walking has improved too, my confidence has improved, I was treated with great respect. I have learnt new exercises which also has helped thanks to Ed owner of Alive chiropractor and Phil too for his excellent deep tissue massage therapy. I cannot thank them both enough, I feel like a new person!
I’ve now signed up for a regular maintenance programme. Thank you both very much, it’s very much appreciated.
He certainly has 'healing hands'.
Clearly passionate about his profession, not only does his treatment keep you supple. He also gives plenty of advise & exercises to keep yourself active.
The waiting room area is that of peace & tranquility with soothing background music.
There is ample free parking.
You've nothing to lose but everything to gain if you want to stay fit, healthy and active.
I highly recommend his expertise & personalised approach.
I highly recommend Edo and Alive Chiropractic. Great service from initial assessment, to treatment, and ongoing progress checks. As well as a range of exercises to continue at home.
As well as the work he done with me in the clinic, he has taught me many different exercises to help me with the problems in which i suffer with, as well as explaining to me how my diet can also help me going forward.
He has been a great help, and i shall continue to see him in the future so that he can help me maintain ( and improve) my well being.

Dr Edo provides a whole body approach to resolving chiropractic issues. His care plan to help solve your unique issues is fantastic, short and simple adjustments rather than long sessions of big adjustments has worked brilliantly for me. Communications are easy and booking ahead is brilliant for me and my schedule.
I can’t recommend Alive highly enough!
The reception is also very welcoming. I very much recommend this place!
Dr Edo is professional, knowledge, and believes firmly in his work which he is clearly passionate about. I feel he has an empowering vision, cares deeply, and has a refreshing balance of western and eastern understanding. Because of this, Dr Edo has a deeper, holistic approach by taking into account all aspects of one's lifestyle (diet, exercise, mental/emotional state) in sessions. For someone like myself who values a holistic perspective on health, Dr Edo's approach is invaluable and helped me relax and feel at great ease. Sam in reception is lovely and you instantly feel welcomed when coming in for a session also. Thank you to you both. Highly recommend!
Thank you!
I will happily recommend Alive Chiropractic to my friends.
Ed takes a very holistic approach, encouraging me to lose weight and work on different rehab exercises to reinforce the manipulations and adjustments he made.
Here I am some three months on, I weigh a lot less, I have incredible flexibility in my lower back and can now touch my toes and, best of all. I have full flexibility of my neck.
Eds holistic approach really works, he is very approachable and easy to chat about things with.
One caveat, Ed knows when you haven't done your exercises so don't cheat. 🙂
I cannot thank him enough for the massive improvements in my health and his encouraging me to make little changes for a healthier long term lifestyle.

Chiropractic FAQs
Here are some answers to common questions we get asked…
What conditions can chiropractors treat?
Our experienced chiropractors in Dorchester treat a wide variety of conditions, including back and neck pain, recurring headaches and migraines, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other diagnosed musculoskeletal disorders. Book an appointment to discover how we can support your recovery.
Does chiropractic treatment hurt?
Many people who are new to chiropractic care worry that treatment might be painful—but in most cases, it isn’t. Discomfort is rare and usually only occurs if an area is already inflamed or sensitive.
You might feel brief pressure or mild discomfort during certain movements, and it’s common to hear clicking or popping sounds as joints are adjusted. These sounds are normal and not cause for concern.
If you have any questions or feel unsure, your chiropractor will be happy to discuss everything with you during your appointment.
Is chiropractic treatment safe?
Do I need to get undressed to have chiropractic treatment?
In most cases, you won’t need to remove any clothing during your chiropractic treatment. We recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and doesn’t restrict your range of motion.
If you’re unsure about what to wear, feel free to contact our team before your appointment. We’ll be happy to guide you and ensure you feel as comfortable and reassured as possible.
