Dr Steven Lawrence BSc (Hons) Chiropractic, DC

Doctor of Chiropractic

My parents used to see a chiropractor when I was young but it wasn’t until I suffered quite a bad fall whilst on a dry ski slope that I had my first adjustment. I could not believe the difference that it made. Since then in my early teens I knew that I wanted to be a chiropractor.

I attended the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic at Glamorgan University where I studied many different subjects including anatomy and physiology, pathology, radiography, nutrition and of course chiropractic techniques. After successful completion of the four-year course I graduated with a BSc (Hons) degree in Chiropractic.

I met my wife Xanthe at Chiropractic College and after graduating at the same time we started work as associates at Nantwich Chiropractic Clinic in Cheshire. A year later we established Castle Chiropractic Clinic in Shrewsbury and I currently work between the two clinics.

Since the first time that I treated someone, I have been able to see first-hand the benefits that chiropractic can provide to everyone from any age. When my daughter Emma was born she suffered a strain to her upper neck that started to cause plagiocephaly (distortion of the skull). Gentle chiropractic treatment to her neck and cranium corrected the problem safely and naturally. From that point paediatric chiropractic has become a particular interest of mine.

I am interested in the holistic benefits of chiropractic. Our main goal at our chiropractic clinics in Nantwich, Stone and Shrewsbury is to bring our patients closer to health through chiropractic care and advice on lifestyle and nutrition.

I live in Stone, Staffordshire with my wife Xanthe and daughter Emma. We’re quite an active family, regularly taking our energetic beagle Rusty on long walks over the Barlaston Downs. I regularly compete in triathlon events throughout the UK and have entered Salzburg 70.3 Ironman in August 2012. As a family we stay healthy by eating good nutritious food, exercising daily and receiving regular chiropractic care.
