Andrew discovered Chiropractic as a teenager when his father finally visited a Chiropractor, following many years of physiotherapy and care from the family GP. Having seen the difference in his father after a course of Chiropractic treatment and regular wellness care Andrew knew he wanted to be a Chiropractor.
After seven years of study at both Welsh Institute of Chiropractic and Mctimoney College of Chiropractic, Andrew graduated with an Honours Chiropractic degree with the advantage of having studied both forms of Chiropractic. Whilst in his final year of Chiropractic training, Andrew was educated in Acupuncture by Dr. John Reynolds (MRCP Dip Med Ac). Acupuncture will only be used during your treatment with your consent and after you have discussed with your Chiropractor or Osteopath. He has also undertaken further training in Trigger Point Dry Needling, Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique and Foot Health Practice.
Andrew Believes that regular check ups are beneficial in maintaining a good quality of life and in the prevention of injury.
Since qualifying, Andrew set up his first clinic in Exmouth, Devon before relocating to Ilminster and now establishing Ilminster Chiropractic & Wellbeing.
