Ammanford Chiropractic Clinic

Ammanford Chiropractic Clinic is for people seeking chiropractic care for back, neck and shoulder problems, including neck and shoulder problems linked with computer work. The clinic treats a wide range of people of all ages, with care centred on joints, surrounding muscles and movement.

The practice is run by Laura Robinson, B.Sc (Hons) Chiropractic. Laura graduated from the University of Glamorgan in 2008. Before training as a chiropractor, she worked as a dental nurse and then as a laboratory assistant in the Pathology Department at Singleton Hospital.

Treatment uses a combination of chiropractic techniques. Very low force adjustments are used with the aim of restoring a joint's normal range of motion. Myofascial release addresses tight or fibrous layers of muscle and fascia using hands-on and tool-assisted methods. Activator assisted adjustments use a small tool to provide an adjustment effect without pressure, which the clinic states may be suitable for patients who are very sore or where manipulation is not appropriate. Home stretch and exercise advice is also part of care.

Appointments take place at the clinic, with manual treatment started gently and the patient involved in treatment choices. The clinic states that there is no wheelchair access, and the treatment room is on the first floor. It has been established in the town since 2008.
