Andy graduated from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic with a Master’s degree in Chiropractic, where he developed a passion for functional movement, rehabilitation, and helping people maintain their active lifestyles.
Before becoming a chiropractor, Andy served for 10 years in the United States Air Force Special Operations. During his military career, he experienced the physical demands of high-performance environments and understands the effects that can have on your body. After being involved numerous humanitarian aid missions, he wanted to dedicate his next career to improving people’s lives .
After years of use and abuse on his body and dealing with his own chronic neck and back pain, Andy understands the life-changing impact the right treatment can have. His own experience inspires him to help others move with greater ease, recover from pain, and enjoy healthier, more active lives.
Andy believes everyone deserves exceptional care, regardless of their background or profession. He has had the privilege of treating people from all walks of life, from children playing sports, the local carpenter to Ironman anthletes even WWE wrestlers. Whether your goal is to get through a busy workday without pain or perform at the highest level, every patient receives the same personalised care, attention, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome.
At Elevare, Andy take a patient-centred approach, focusing on identifying the root cause of pain, restoring movement, and empowering patients to take control of their long term health. Whether you’re seeking relief from pain, recovering from injury, or looking to perform at your best, his goal is to help you move well, feel well, function well.
My passion for healthcare began long before I became a chiropractor. Since 2010, I have worked within the NHS as an Operating Department Practitioner (ODP), caring for patients throughout their surgical journey. Working in operating theatres has given me invaluable experience in patient care, anatomy, teamwork and understanding the human body.
My own experience with pain is what ultimately led me to chiropractic.
After being diagnosed with scoliosis, I experienced first-hand how musculoskeletal problems can affect everyday life. Through chiropractic care, I discovered not only relief from my symptoms and was able to get back to fitness but also a genuine fascination with how the body moves, heals and adapts.
That experience inspired me to retrain as a chiropractor, and in 2022 I graduated from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic (AECC). Today, I combine my years of NHS experience with modern chiropractic care to help people move with confidence and achieve their goals.
When people hear the word chiropractic they often assume it's only for back pain. While helping people overcome back and neck pain is certainly a big part of what I do, chiropractic care is about much more than that.
I welcome patients of all ages and activity levels. Whether you're a teenager playing sport, a busy parent juggling work and family life, an office worker spending long hours at a desk, or someone wanting to stay active into retirement, my goal is the same: to help you move better, feel stronger, and get back to doing the things you enjoy.
Helping Active People Stay Active
I have a particular interest in working with people who train regularly. Whether you're lifting weights in the gym, training for your next marathon, competing in sport, or simply enjoying an active lifestyle, injuries can be frustrating and often prevent you from reaching your goals.
Many training-related injuries don't happen overnight. They develop gradually through repeated loading, changes in training volume, poor recovery, or biomechanical factors. Understanding why an injury has developed is just as important as treating the symptoms.
My approach focuses on identifying the underlying cause of your pain, improving movement, and helping you return to training safely and confidently
Although I enjoy working with runners, gym-goers and sports enthusiasts, you certainly don't have to be an athlete to benefit from chiropractic care.
Many patients simply want to:
Everyone deserves to move well, regardless of age or fitness level.
No two people are the same, which is why every assessment and treatment plan is tailored to your individual goals. Whether you're aiming for a new personal best, recovering from an injury, or simply wanting to enjoy everyday life without pain, we'll work together to create a plan that suits you.
Recovery isn't just about feeling better today—it's about building a stronger, more resilient body for the future.
If pain is limiting your training, your work, or your everyday activities, I'd be happy to help you get moving again.
Hi, I'm Raven, the clinic's official Puppy Receptionist and part-time nap specialist! 🐾
My most important job is making sure everyone who visits feels welcome. I'll happily greet you with a wagging tail, a hopeful look for a pat, and maybe even a little wiggle if I'm feeling extra excited.
After I've made sure everyone has been properly welcomed, I take my second job very seriously... sleeping! You'll often find me snoozing behind the reception desk, curled up in a cosy corner, or soaking up the sunshine.
I believe smiles, tail wags, and the occasional cuddle are just as important as good posture. So if you see me, feel free to say hello. If I'm asleep, you can admire my impressive napping skills until I wake up to greet you!
