In most cases, simple sprains and strains respond well within just 1 to 3 sessions. For more complex or long-standing issues, some patients choose to attend intermittently, as and when symptoms arise, to help manage their condition.
Our Osteopaths in Woodford offer specialist, affordable treatment in all areas of Osteopathy and Physiotherapy, including Back Pain Treatment, Neck Pain Treatment, Sciatica Treatment, Shoulder Injuries, Sports Injuries, and Rehabilitation.
Our patients come from all over the local area, including Woodford, South Woodford, Chigwell, Loughton, Buckhurst Hill, Wanstead, Redbridge and Ilford.

What Our Patients Say
“The team at Spine Plus have truly got my life back on track. After suffering for months with no idea where to go or what to do, I am now living a normal life again, something that I didn’t think was possible.”
Dr Bryn Walton
“There’s no one else I go to keep me injury-free and at the top of my sport. It’s as though they have a sixth sense and know exactly where the cause of an injury is and what to do about it!”
Jono Partridge
When you step foot into any of our clinics, we promise you three things:
01. Patients Come First
The most important part of everything we do, is you. No matter who you are, everyone is a priority in our clinics. We know you on a first-name basis and, you will never be seen as just a number or a name on our list.
02. Transparency
We have a transparent attitude to the service we provide; we are always open and honest with our advice. All the therapy teams are handpicked and trained by me. Our clinics are equipped with the latest therapy technologies from gold-standard brands. You’ll never see gimmicky products, machines or services in our clinics nor will we try and sell you bogus treatments that don’t work. If we don’t think something is worthwhile, we won’t advocate it or have it in our clinics.
03. We Never Stop Evolving
Our constant goal has always been and will continue to be to improve the experience for our patients, whether this involves expanding the services we offer or improving our skills and knowledge, we’re always adding benefits and services to serve our patients best.
Don’t take my word for it. These are my promises. Visit any of our clinics and see the team live up to them.
