What is a Chiropractor?
Chiropractic is a primary health-care profession that specializes in the diagnosis, treatment and overall management of conditions that are due to problems with the joints, ligaments, tendons and nerves of the body, particularly those of the spine.
Treatment consists of a wide range of manipulative techniques designed to improve the function of the joints, relieving pain and muscle spasm.
At the Swindon Chiropractic Clinic the majority of our patients refer themselves, although we also have many referrals from GPs and other specialists. We have a digital x-ray suite on site and are able to refer directly for MRI scans where appropriate.
About Us
The Swindon Chiropractic Clinic has treated over 25,000 patients.
The practice was established in January 1982 in Winifred Street in Old Town by Jan Blankenstein who had trained at Anglo-European College of Chiropractic in Bournemouth after a varied career in all types of transport matters.
It took till November 1985 to attract our first thousand patients but as the success of chiropractic as a health care system became known, the number of patients we were seeing rapidly increased and we engaged our first associate in 1986.
Since that time the practice has grown to be a four practitioner practice and we have had working with us chiropractors from Scotland, England, Ireland, Wales, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, New Zealand, Canada, Israel and Switzerland - over twenty practitioners in total, many of whom have gone on to establish their own practices all over the world.
We have now reached our 25,000th patient - in a Swindon population of 180,000. This means that more than one person in ten in Swindon has attended the clinic, firmly establishing Chiropractic as an effective and safe form of Complimentary Medicine.
To support the practitioners we also have 6 administrative staff and we have also been a training practice for the past 18 years and have hosted visits from general practitioners, medical students, GP registrars and numerous chiropractic students.
As a result of being involved in the local schools' Work Experience Schemes, a number of students have decided to follow a career in Chiropractic, attending Chiropractic Colleges in Abingdon, Bournemouth and Glamorgan.
As adjuncts to the chiropractic treatment we have the "Cloud Nine" Floatation room and also access to massage and reflexology therapists.
Jan Blankenstein has been for ten years a regional tutor on the profession's Period of Provisional Registration Scheme and is a past Director of the Scheme. He now fulfils the role of peripatetic tutor, travelling around the country to give support wherever it is necessary.
The members of the Practice are delighted that we have been able to serve the inhabitants of Swindon so well and look forward to continuing the service well into the 21st century.
