Meet the Team at Health Inc Chiropractic

Vicky’s dad started seeing a chiropractor for his back when she was 13. After discussing the migraines Vicky suffered from with the chiropractor, he brought her in for a checkup. The chiropractor found subluxations in her neck, so she started care.

“I started care and quickly realised this is what I had been looking for. Good health is our greatest asset, and after living with pain for so long I began to forget what it felt like to be well.”

Vicky soon stopped taking the ten medications she was on for her migraines. The chiropractor empowered her to take care of her health by doing exercises and examining her diet. “For as long as I can remember, I have had a love for science. I knew I would choose a scientific career.” It was this holistic approach and her love of science that inspired her to become a chiropractor.

Vicky went on to the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic after completing her A-levels. During her time at university she met some truly inspirational people. It was there that she learnt that chiropractic is about restoring nervous system function through achieving maximum spinal health.

Bens initial interest in this field was sparked when he used to play rugby and had various injuries – specifically two knee dislocations! The recovery for these injuries was intense but the different ways to heal the injury ignited his interest into how the body works and what is needed to help fix the body.

Ben went to University of Hull and studied Sports Rehabilitation after completing his A-levels. During his time at the university, he gained a lot of knowledge of how the body works and how easily the body can become out of tune. He was sent on multiple different placements through physiotherapy clinic, pitch side physiotherapy, and it was on his chiropractic placement that he realised chiropractic care would be his next step in his health journey.

Ben attended McTimoney chiropractic college where he completed his Master of Chiropractic degree and is a member of the General Chiropractic Council (GCC), the UK regulator for chiropractors.

Bens interests outside of the clinic range from going to the gym, to going to mixed martial art classes and taking his dog on hikes. Through his interests he has found different ways to adapt exercises to target specific body parts to help restore function.

Steph originally became interested in chiropractic whilst working in a clinic as a massage therapist. Being surrounded everyday by the patients stories about how much visiting the chiropractor helped them, she became fascinated.

“I learnt so much about my own body speaking with the chiro, things I had never considered about the “little niggles” I just put up with, thinking it was normal to have recurring headaches and lower back ache, they had been there since I was a kid. After having a consultation and starting care, I quickly stopped having the headaches, and I learnt the reason why my back ached frequently, so I could start to do something about it. I became inspired to learn to be able to do this for my own clients too.”

After making the decision to go back to university and completing a five-year master’s in chiropractic degree at the McTimoney college of chiropractic and is registered with the General Chiropractic Council (GCC). Steph found her way to Health Inc. to begin practicing as a chiropractor.

When Steph is not in the clinic, she likes to spend time in the gym, learning new skills such as ballroom dancing, or sitting down with a good book and a cup of tea.

Susan started working at Health Inc Chiropractic in August 2013 as a receptionist. Before working with Dr Vicky Cole (Chiropractor), she thought chiropractors only dealt with back pains but now she understands what a chiropractor actually does. Dr Cole (Chiropractor) has given her several adjustments and she is really feeling the benefit of those. She is sleeping much better, has more energy, has a better posture and her tension headaches “are a thing of the past”. Susan now believes that seeing your chiropractor on a regular basis is equally as important as your visits to the dentist. She would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Health Inc Chiropractic to anyone. Just give it a go, and you will definitely feel the benefit. Susan lives locally with her mother, and they have two small dogs at home. She likes to keep fit and has always enjoyed walking (with or without dogs), and having had the chiropractic adjustments, she feels they have also helped her here.
