Who is Life Balance Chiropractic - Poole?
We believe that health, vitality and quality of life doesn’t happen in a doctors surgery, it happens in people’s everyday lives and the life balance they seek is a big part of that.
We believe everyone can feel better as when we are healthier, we are happier because when we move freely, we live more.
When you want to reduce pain, improve mobility, enhance performance, increase energy, vitality, and resilience. To enjoy the things you love with ease. It’s difficult to understand who you should see, which is a frustration we share with many people.
We noticed many people’s wants were just not being met by ‘old world thinking’ of the traditional healthcare model one size fits all of just ‘treating symptoms’ is just not useful for the current 21st-century epidemic of stress-related and lifestyle problems that are now so common.
At Life Balance Chiropractic, we offer a space you can come to just be between home and work where you come to get well and return to stay well. We are committed to enabling you to move freely, feel better and live more so you can continue to do the things you love.
We ask “Why are you experiencing these symptoms?” to identify and correct the root cause and partner with you to support your body’s natural ability to heal whilst creating long-term results.
Regardless of the injuries you have had, the traumas you have experienced, or the current condition of your health, we believe you can improve your health without drugs or surgery.
There are no weird white coats, no old-school waiting rooms with fierce reception staff — and no “tell you off” attitude. We have the friendliest welcoming client experience team, and our highly recommended team of chiropractors and massage therapists have decades of experience in providing high-quality, comprehensive care with complete professionalism and plenty of laughs along the way. You are in safe hands.
We take pride in making sure you feel seen and heard and know what’s going on before. Once we understand the root cause of what brings you in. We individually craft a care plan to work with you to naturally accelerate your body’s healing so you can achieve your goals for what brings you in and continue doing the things you love.

What should I listen to you?
Our clients often come to us exhausted, frustrated and overwhelmed with all the conflicting advice. There’s so much information available nowadays it can be hard to know which data to apply.
We don’t claim to know it and do it all. We understand our limitations and realise we are not good at quick fixes and patch-ups and all those other therapies like therapeutic ultrasound, orthotics, dry needling, taping and quick fix gimmicks. Not that they have their place. It’s just not our speciality.
What we are world-class at, though, is being the specialist of the nervous system and spine and providing a long-term holistic solution for lifestyle problems of the spine, joints, muscles and nerves.
We are world-class at finding the problem, analysing it, correcting it and then getting out of the way so your body can heal long-term.
We like to keep it simple and focus on what works, and we discard the rest.
At Life Balance Chiropractic, we believe your body’s ability to heal naturally is greater than anyone has permitted you to believe.
The moment someone believes their body can heal is the key to better health, balance, and quality of life.
You may be thinking yeah, but….
- I tried chiropractic or other therapies before, and it didn’t work for me…a better idea is understanding that everyone works differently and has different skill sets.
- It will eventually just go away on its own, so I will just ignore the state, signs and symptoms my body gives me and I will see how it goes…I don’t let it stop me, I just don’t do that anymore, I am fine if I am careful…A better idea is understanding nothing stays the same, and the longer you leave something, the longer it persists or can even get worse. There is a direct cause-effect relationship.
- I am to busy right now. I will see how it goes….A better idea is understanding that nothing stays the same it gets better or it gets worse as there is a direct cause-effect relationship at work.
- I just don’t have the budget right now, I can’t afford it….A better idea is flipping the problem and asking how can I afford it? Our service is surprisingly affordable and we offer different financial options based on your circumstances.
Time only runs out if you don’t get started with the right strategy. The first step is always the hardest. Don’t be that client who says I wish I did this years ago…You can start experiencing today exactly how we bridge the gap between science and self-care to outperform other treatments.
The best way to heal and improve quality of life. It is to prioritise finding the cause. Suppose you don’t prioritise finding the cause. You’ll never correct it long-term.
We believe in you, and we believe healing is possible for you.

What Conditions or Symptoms can you help me with?
Most people think we are like a back doctor, and although we get great results with conditions like back pain, neck pain and headaches. It’s not what we do. We are nervous system doctors; our job is to ensure your spine and nerves are as healthy and happy as possible by removing any obstruction to the nerves. The spine is moveable and protective of the delicate spinal nerves, and it can either misalign or lose motion.
When this happens, it creates a subluxation, a misalignment which can affect normal nerve flow. This can cause problems with where those nerves go to.
In the upper neck the spinal nerves go to the head and can cause headaches and dizziness and affect sleep.
In the lower neck, they supply the diaphragm the main stabilising muscle of your lower back as well as the shoulder muscles. So can cause shoulder issues as well as tingling and numbness down the arms.
In the mid-upper back they go to your heart and lungs and so can effect breathing and posture
In the middle back, they go the stomach so can affect digestion.
In the lower back, they go into the hips, down the legs and supply the bowl and bladder, so can cause sciatica, numbness or tingling down the legs or cramping and trouble walking. They can also affect your digestion and going to the toilet.
The good news is that most of the time, something can always be done. We are great at finding, analysing, and correcting them so your body can heal. You’re in safe hands with us.
So whether you’ve ever experienced pain, aches, stiffness, tension, felt like crap, overstressed or experienced a health challenge that just hasn’t gone away…then you know deeply they interfere with your everyday life.
It can feel like it sucks the capacity right out of you and everything just feels harder. It can get to the point where your whole life is placed on hold, as it becomes increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to:
- Get to sleep or staying asleep and waking up feeling refreshed
- Go to work or perform your job well
- Drive your car or go to the shops
- Manage chores around the house
- Care for your kids or grandkids
- Engage in exercise or sports
- Travel or be out with friends
- Enjoy your hobbies and passions
So you try everything you can think of to find relief, but the problem persists and may feel like any one of these ways to describe your pain
- Aching
- Cramping
- Fearful
- Gnawing
- Heavy
- Hot or burning
- Sharp
- Shooting
- Sickening
- Splitting
- Stabbing
- Punishing or cruel
- Tender
- Throbbing
- Tiring or exhausting
- Vicelike
You end up frustrated and wondering, “Why won’t the pain or problem disappear?”
The Key is Breaking The Cycle
The usual problem people run into is something we call “The Loop.”
This is the constant research, action, failure cycle that seems to stay stuck on repeat as you work your way through. Each time you try something new, the problem persists or worsens.
The most worrying aspect of this cycle is its toll on our physical, emotional, and chemical bodies.
Repeated Physical Stress can increase the risk of further damage.
Repeated Emotional Stress can affect our state and make everything more difficult as well as lower our ability to cope and adapt to everyday life.
Repeated Chemical Stress from our medications can cause dangerous inflammation.
Quick fixes and patch-ups might leave you feeling even worse off than you did before.

What is different about Life Balance Chiropractic? Our Approach - What to expect
When you work with us, Here is what you can expect.
The uniqueness of Life Balance Chiropractic starts with the belief that, in some way, everything is connected to everything else. We invite you to step into a new world of possibility, good health and happiness, where you are given the tools to be the architect of your health. We welcome you to experience the medicine of the future, available today.
The Hallmarks of the Life Balance Chiropractic Approach:
- Empowerment: Inspiring people to take responsibility for becoming the architect of their health and reclaim their power by giving people the information they need to help them make better decisions about what do do next for their health.
- Collaborative care: Our clients are active partners in their journey. We partner with you to support your body’s natural ability to heal whilst creating long-term results no matter previous challenges.
- Systems-based approach: The body is one integrated system, not a collection of independent organs and parts that get treated individually. It’s about understanding how all different parts work together and looking at a symptom as a sign of dysfunction that we need to get to the root cause of, not just tame, relief or numb. Many therapies don’t have a goal outside of working on what hurts and that specific area only.
- Client Centric: Blending evidence-informed science into a holistic, support-driven driven and education-focused approach to chiropractic care. Addressing the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. Feel seen, heard and understood with personalised care that addresses the individual’s unique needs.
- Connection and Experiential Service: we pledge to provide the finest personal service and to continually improve our facilities for our clients, who will always enjoy a warm, relaxed, yet calm ambience.
The Experience
Start Your Journey
During a 30-45 minute first visit, you will have a private one-to-one consultation and the most detailed assessment in the Dorset area. We take the time to listen to you and gather your unique health story to discover what brings you in, how this is affecting your life, asking why to identify the root cause.
During your initial assessment, we sought to discover “the cause” of what brings you in through our comprehensive structural and nervous system proprietary assessment.
Now that we know the cause, we can go away and study your case and create a plan of action to heal that is unique to you.
Where client empowerment is an essential aspect of the experience. At your report of findings on your second visit, we take as much time as needed to review the results and answer any of your concerns or questions. During this, we’ll break it down into an easy-to-understand plan. We’ll then guide you through an expertly planned treatment sequence to reach your goals.
You will feel sure about: What is wrong? Can it be corrected? How long will it take to heal? And how much it will cost? Going through your different financial options and recommendations for care that you can say no to. You decide whether or not to go ahead with care – there is no obligation. Crystal clear, no hidden fees, in the language you’ll understand.
If you decide we are a good fit, our professional, friendly team of chiropractors and massage therapists with years of clinical experience will support your health goals and transformation every step.
