Treating the Root,
Not Just the Symptoms
We’re not here to mask pain. Our mission is to help you feel and function at your best — by identifying and correcting the root cause of your symptoms.
At Alive Chiropractic, our chiropractors take a thorough, holistic and highly personalised approach to your care. Through detailed assessments and a collaborative mindset, we work with your body — not against it — to guide long-term healing and maintain wellbeing.
“Chiropractic care is a powerful, natural approach to keeping your spine and body in optimal health.”
What Are Chiropractic Services?
Our chiropractic services focus on helping you move more freely, ease everyday pain, and better understand what your body needs to stay comfortable and active.
At Alive Chiropractic, 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.

Conditions Our Chiropractors Help You Recover From
If you’re struggling with ongoing pain or something that just won’t settle, the team at Alive Chiropractic knows how frustrating that can feel. Many people come to us with back pain, neck tension, headaches, old injuries that keep flaring up, or discomfort that’s starting to affect work, sleep, or exercise.
We take the time to understand what’s really going on and explain what might be causing it, so you’re not left guessing. You can explore the full list of conditions we treat and learn how care can help you feel more comfortable and confident in your body again.
Massage therapist
When your body feels tight, sore, or worn down from long days at work, stress, or repetitive movement, seeing a massage therapist can bring real relief. Targeted massage helps ease muscle tension, improve circulation, and settle the kind of aches that make it hard to relax or sleep comfortably.
Many people notice they move more freely, feel less stiff, and generally feel lighter in their body after a session at Alive Chiropractic. It’s a simple but powerful way to look after yourself, especially when you’re juggling a busy schedule and want to stay comfortable and active.
Sports massage therapist
When you’re training hard, carrying a knock, or just feeling tight and run-down, a sports massage therapist can make a real difference. Whether it’s sore legs after a long run, stiff shoulders from the gym, or a small strain that keeps flaring up, focused massage helps ease tension, improve movement, and get your body feeling more settled again.
Our team takes the time to understand what’s bothering you and what you’re trying to get back to, whether that’s weekend football, cycling, or simply moving without that constant ache. Many people notice they recover faster, feel looser, and get back to doing what they enjoy with more confidence.

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.

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.

Sports injury clinic
A niggle that won’t settle, a pulled muscle that keeps flaring up, or a sudden injury can quickly get in the way of work, training, and everyday life. A sports injury clinic focuses on understanding what’s actually causing the problem so you’re not just pushing through pain or guessing what to do next.
At Alive Chiropractic, we look at how the injury happened, how your body is moving now, and what might be slowing your recovery. From there, you’ll get clear guidance and hands-on care to help you feel more stable, more comfortable, and more confident getting back to your normal routine.
Health consultant
Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the pain itself, it’s understanding why it keeps coming back and what you can actually do about it. Working with a health consultant gives you space to talk through what’s been going on in your body, your daily habits, and what might be contributing to those ongoing aches, tension, or flare-ups.
We take the time to explain what we’re seeing, answer your questions, and help you make small changes that support your recovery and day-to-day comfort. Many people say they feel more confident managing their body once they understand what’s happening and how to look after themselves between visits.
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?
Yes, chiropractic treatment is safe when performed by a trained and registered chiropractor. It’s common to experience some mild aches, soreness, or stiffness after a session as your body adjusts and begins the healing process.
These side effects are typically short-lived and resolve within a few days. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions or concerns, be sure to discuss them with your chiropractor before starting treatment.
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.
Can I bring someone with me?
If you would like or need to bring a friend or relative to support you during treatment, that is absolutely fine – we want you to feel as comfortable and at ease as possible. In some instances, your chiropractor may want another person to act as a chaperone, or a clinical assistant to also be present. This will be discussed with you at your appointment.
Do I need to sign up for a whole treatment plan?
Most patients experiencing acute pain or symptoms begin with a more intensive treatment plan to achieve noticeable improvement as quickly as possible. This often involves multiple sessions over a short period. Many patients then choose to continue with semi-regular, routine appointments to maintain their progress and support long-term health and wellbeing. For those with chronic conditions, treatment is usually longer-term and tailored to individual needs. However, you’re always in control—treatment can be paused or stopped at any time, and you’ll only ever be charged for sessions you’ve received.
How much does chiropractic treatment cost?
The cost of your chiropractic treatment will vary depending on your individual treatment plan. Your chiropractor will discuss this with you during your consultation. We follow a transparent pricing policy and will always clearly explain and agree on any fees with you before starting treatment—so there are no surprises.
