New patients chiropractic consultation in Dorchester
Taking the first step towards seeking chiropractic care can be both exciting and unfamiliar. That’s why we offer a comprehensive chiropractic consultation to ensure we understand your unique needs and goals and provide you with personalized care.
What to expect
Personalized assessment. The journey to optimal health begins with a one-on-one consultation. During this consultation, we’ll take the time to listen to your concerns, understand your health history, and gather important information about your current condition.
Thorough examination: To gain a deeper understanding of your overall well-being, we’ll perform a thorough examination, which may include orthopaedic and neurological tests, postural assessment, range of motion evaluation, and other specialized assessments as needed. These evaluations enable us to assess your spinal health, identify potential imbalances or dysfunctions, and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Diagnostic Imaging (if necessary). In some cases, we may recommend diagnostic imaging such as X-rays or MRI scans to obtain a more detailed view of your spine and its alignment. This step allows us to identify any underlying structural issues and develop a precise treatment approach.
Education and Explanation. We believe that informed patients are empowered patients. Following the assessment and examination, we’ll take the time to explain our findings, discuss your diagnosis, and answer any questions you may have. We’ll provide you with a clear understanding of how chiropractic care can benefit you and outline a personalized treatment plan designed to address your specific concerns.
Collaborative Treatment Plan.ย At Alive, we strongly believe in a collaborative approach to your well-being. We will work to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals, preferences, and lifestyle. This plan may include chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercises, lifestyle modifications, nutritional guidance, and other supportive therapies to enhance your healing process.

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

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 canโt 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. ๐
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.
