Understanding Chiropractic Care
At Ridgeway Health & Wellness, we provide professional chiropractic care for patients across Swindon and the surrounding areas. Based in Wroughton, our clinic supports people of all ages who are experiencing pain, reduced mobility, or ongoing musculoskeletal conditions.
If your symptoms are affecting your ability to work, exercise, or carry out everyday activities, our role is to assess the underlying cause and recommend appropriate care based on your individual findings. Many patients come to us with back pain or neck pain, often after symptoms have started to interfere with daily life.
All care is delivered by chiropractors registered with the General Chiropractic Council, ensuring treatment is provided in line with recognised UK standards.
Chiropractic is a regulated healthcare profession concerned with the diagnosis and management of conditions affecting the spine, joints, and nervous system. At our Swindon clinic, care is never based on assumption. Every recommendation follows a structured assessment process to determine whether treatment is clinically appropriate.
Patients often ask whether chiropractic care can help with nerve-related symptoms such as sciatica, or more localised joint issues such as shoulder pain Suitability is always determined following a full clinical assessment.
Our aim is not only to address symptoms, but to improve function and support long-term physical health where possible.
Conditions We Support
Many people seek chiropractic care when discomfort begins to limit their daily routine. This may include difficulty sitting comfortably, disrupted sleep, or reduced confidence in movement.
At Ridgeway Health & Wellness, we regularly assess and manage a wide range of conditions. These include back pain and neck pain , as well as nerve-related symptoms such as sciatica.
We also work with patients experiencing joint and movement-related issues, including shoulder pain , hip and groin pain, and knee pain. In some cases, symptoms such as headaches or foot and ankle pain may be linked to underlying mechanical factors, which are explored during your assessment.
Each patient is assessed individually to determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate, and alternative recommendations may be made where necessary.
A Personalised and Clinically Led Approach
Your first appointment is designed to build a detailed understanding of your symptoms and overall health. We take the time to listen carefully, followed by a structured physical examination.
This may include orthopaedic testing, neurological assessment, and evaluation of movement and posture. Where clinically appropriate, imaging such as X-rays may be used to support diagnosis and guide decision-making.
If you are unsure what to expect, you can learn more about the process on our Your First Visit page. We also provide clear guidance for new patients so you feel confident before attending your appointment.
Once your assessment is complete, your chiropractor will explain the findings clearly and outline the available options.
Integrated Care Within Our Swindon Clinic
In some cases, chiropractic care may be combined with other therapies to support recovery and improve outcomes. Where appropriate, we may recommend additional services available within our clinic.
This can include Mediloop Therapy to support tissue recovery, sports therapy for rehabilitation and return to activity, and pregnancy and paediatric chiropractic care where specialist support is required. We also offer workplace wellness programmes aimed at reducing strain associated with occupational demands.
Any recommendation is made based on your individual presentation and clinical findings.

Patient Feedback

Simon RandellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After hurting my back stopped me from cycling and I also found it difficult to go on walks which I also enjoyed doing, the team at Ridgeway Health and Wellness took me through a program which got me hiking and cycling again. A very friendly team from reception through to the chiropractors and the sports therapist, and all very helpful. I would highly recommend Ridgeway Health and Wellness. Bridie NelsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Before finding Ridgeway Health and Wellness I had been treated by various osteopaths, hospital physiotherapists and rehab PTs. Nothing had worked for over 18 months with Long Covid - and fibromyalgia many years before that. I was feeling very disheartened, and I didn't hold out much hope for anything positive from my initial appointment, but I was desperate for help and I felt I had nothing to lose. The assessment was so thorough with xrays and many other tests, and I came away from the subsequent results consultation knowing exactly what the issues were. That was worth its weight in gold and something no other professional or GP had done for me. I left the appointment feeling so heard, understood and confident that I would receive a programme of excellent care from Mark and the chiropractic team - and I have not been disappointed. Although progress is never a straight line, I am, for the first time seeing improvement in every area. I now have hope and the beginnings of a recovery that is allowing me to slowly do things I want to do again, like walking and gardening. From the minute you walk in, you see the friendly smiling face of Elena, who greets you, by name. She - and the whole reception team - makes you feel like family because it's clear, they genuinely want you to have a positive experience. I usually have treatments with Mark and Poppy, I have also seen Hatty and now I'm seeing Hannah for rehab as well. They are ALL amazing. So enthusiastic, very kind and compassionate and I'm sure all chiropractors at the clinic have the same positive effect on their clients. I feel total confidence in everyone in the clinic, and I trust them, which is vital. Marks wealth of knowledge and many years of experience is second to none. He has a direct, no nonsense approach which I truly value, together with such a high level of professionalism and care. Yes, the sessions are short. They are very specific, focused and targeted. I would much rather that, than a 30 minute session taken up with mostly chatting as is the case with some practitioners. That said, I always feel able to explain what my main issues are before each session begins, so I never feel a lack of time during the appointment. If I could give 6 stars, I would! Jeff NelsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ridgeway Health and Wellness clinic is amazing. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. They are so caring and thorough and understand the needs of their clients. Very experienced and highly professional practitioners, my initial consultation through a structured treatment programme has been very beneficial. I would recommend anyone to the clinic. Sarah SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Following a partial knee replacement a year ago which I thought Id recovered well from, I developed two separate episodes of severe lower back pain which radiated through the buttock area and down one leg. The first episode cleared after about 8 weeks having spent 2 weeks in bed (as could hardly walk without an aid) and prescribed medication. A few weeks after recovery and having spent an hour light gardening, the lower back pain returned with a throbbing, stabbing, tense gnawing pain in the buttock and down the leg again. Although not confined to bed this time, the pain did not go away despite taking 1000mg per day of Naproxen together with paracetamol. The drs said this was not sciatica but compensation pain from knee surgery. After 3 months of constant pain, I contacted Ridgeway Health & Wellness after reading excellent reviews and feeling that Drs werent listening or offering any further solutions. Ridgeway have been so friendly and approachable but more importantly I felt listened to as I was at my wits end and quite emotional with the pain. Dr Poppy took an Xray and further nerve and muscle tests were undertaken - my right pelvis was slightly forward, nerve endings were compromised and spine was out of alignment ! In 4 weeks, my pain has subsided and is managed by over the counter paracetamol and ibroprufen which had had no effect previously even when taking paracetamol and Naproxen together ! Im not reaching for the tablets after 4 hours and now take them when required but my pain is so much less intense . My body feels more aligned and less stressed, Im happier and feeling more positive as Im not in constant pain and Dr Poppy says Im responding well with the treatment she's giving. I have a way to go yet after 10 years of my knee issue and due to start some additional therapies that Ridgeway offer. Please dont just put up with pain, Ridgeway are there to listen, help and advise in such a caring and empathetic way - I am so grateful for the last 4 weeks and looking forward to embracing my next sessions. Thank you so much so far Dr Poppy! Ian MowatTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I have received the most fabulous care from Poppy at Ridgeway Health and Wellness. Apart from maintaining my spine health, my 9 year old Achilles injury has completely healed. I could barely make a dog walk before I had the mediloop treatment, and now I’ll be hiking Snowdon in Spring. I struggled with the injury for so long, I couldn’t and can’t believe the pain is all a distant memory now!
