CHIROPRACTOR – MIKE DAVIES
First Visit:
The Initial appointment with your chiropractor normally takes between 45-60 minutes, where a thorough examination is carried out. This involves asking relevant questions related to your general medical history and also questions related specifically to the problem. Following history taking (when we have a good idea what we are dealing with) we will then carry out a physical examination, assessing the movement of joints/muscles, testing nerves and other relevant medical and orthopaedic testing.
Before treatment is given (providing no further tets/X-rays are required), the patient is sat down and examination findings are discussed. At this point we will tell each patient exactly what is wrong and how we can help you.
Follow up treatments:
Follow up treatments take approximately 15 minutes. You are told in the first visit how many treatments we think you will need. We have found from a recent file audit, that 90% of our patients showed >80% improvement in 4 or less treatments!
Treatment normally involves manipulation/mobilisation of joints to restore normal range of movement, soft tissue techniques to relax down muscles and expert advice.
As we move along in the treatment plan the aim is to see you less and less over time and give you the advice and exercises you need to maintain improvements and prevent a re-occurrence of symptoms. We always use the latest evidence when giving patients advice, so that we know what we are giving you has been tried and tested!
OSTEOPATH – JACK ARNOLD
Osteopaths prevent, diagnose and treat a wide range of health problems using manual therapy, exercise and advice. The aim is to promote the best health based on the individual needs of the patient.
Providing care that includes a range of interventions specific to each patient, including:
- manual therapy techniques
- physical therapy (rehabilitation and exercise prescription)
- health advice
- self-management guidance
SPORTS MASSAGE THERAPY – ROSS
There are many benefits of having a sports massage, such as:
- Increased joint range of motion (ROM)
- Increased flexibility.
- Increased sense of well-being.
- Decreased muscle tension.
- Decreased neurological excitability (nerves more relaxed)
- Decreased muscle spasms.
- Better sleep.

Having been suffering with my shoulder for the past couple of months, I decided it was time to see a chiropractor! From the moment I was greeted by Mike I instantly felt at ease. The consultation was very thorough and professional, I knew I was in safe and knowledgeable hands. I had an adjustment after my consultation, and the relief was instantaneous. I feel a lot looser and would highly recommend having an adjustment with Mike. I’ll continue with my treatments at NPT Chiropractic Clinic until my shoulder is fully healed, I have every faith in them. Thank you 🙏🏻 💙💚

I'd been suffering with lower back pain on and off for around a year and decided to get in touch.After the initial consultation Mike explained what my issues were (mainly poor posture from desk work) and he put a plan in place for me.After a few adjustments my back had improved dramatically and Mike recommended some exercises for me to do at home, which further helped my back.I would highly recommend Mike. He's very good at what he does and has sorted my back out in weeks after a year of pain.

After having intermittent lower back problems since an accident several years ago and a recent bad flare up I decided it was about time to do something about it. My partner had been seeing Mike for several weeks and had quite a big improvement in her issues, so thought it was time to give it a go. Mike is brilliant! He knows his stuff. He identified the exact spot that was causing me problems and recommended a course of treatment. In the 4 weeks since I have gone from being unable to walk properly to adding 2 inches onto my height and having next to no problems with my back. Makes me wonder why I didn't see him years ago. Top people, definitely recommended.

First time I have visited a Chiropractor but it was certainly worthwhile. I only had lthree visits but Jack has magic hands and I walked out of the clinic pain free. I had been having sleepless nights with pain in my neck but Jack performed miracles. I would highly recommend this Clinic, well worth the money I spent.

Mike the chiropractor has helped me with my long term lower back pain with initial treatment and ongoing monthly appointments to keep any issues in check.I have also had sports massages with Ross who is very knowledgeable and set me on the road to recovery with my tight hamstring. I would throughly recommend either one.

Great place. Jack gave me the treatment needed and the knowledge I required to help with my recovery from crippling back pain. From barely being able to walk straight to feeling better than I have in 10 years

Jack has been amazing in my recovery (sciatica and ruptured calf muscle) from unmanageable pain to feeling back to normal within a few sessions. Im still having on going therapy for my calf muscle and it’s all going in the right direction thankfully. I highly recommend.

It started when I hurt my back like never before, Something time was never going to fix. I was dubious at first about further care and treatment but I must honestly say with regular adjustments it does make a world of difference and feel so refreshed afterwards and most importantly never had that awful pain again nor do I ever want . Mike and his team have been first class.

I would highly recommend Mike and Neath Port Talbot Chiropractor Clinic. A detailed consultation that identified other issues I had not gone for followed by a treatment plan that provided instant pain relief and more movement which has developed across the weeks. Very knowledgeable and create a comfortable environment. I look forward to my appointments.

Having not seen a Chiropractor or Osteopath previously. I was nervous for my first appointment with an Osteopath. Jack was extremely welcoming, polite and empathetic with my pain. He explained the process of the assessment and questions to establish the source of my problem. All whilst being very professional and caring to ensure I wasn’t in any discomfort.I felt understood, appreciated and looked after.I can’t thank Jack enough for what he has done and wish I had found Osteopath sooner.My pain is much better after such a short period and already back at work and doing things I had to stop!

Would highly recommend Mike. I was experiencing back pain whilst at the gym, running and being sat at the desk for long periods of time. However, since I have been going for regular adjustments I can already feel the difference. The pain had reduced enormously and my posture is improving! Thank you!

I have been using the service of Neath Port Talbot Chiropractic Clinic since August . After sending an initial email on a Saturday I had an appointment for a consultation with treatment on the Monday.Jack took an in depth history and assessment of my sudden onset of back pain and discussed what treatment would suit me to alleviate it.Jack treats my lower back with a mixture of sports massage, manipulation and acupuncture. These are combined with exercises to do at home or at work.I have to say the results have been amazing, considering the amount of pain I was experiencing with restricted movement when I initially saw him.The appointments are flexible which suit my shift patterns....either early morning or late evenings.I continue to use the services for weekly maintenence sessions.Jack is professional with his approach and would highly recommend. Thank you.

After suffering with Migraines for many years, I decided to book myself some sessions with Mike. I have done a lot of research in the past, and I heard going to see a Chiropractor can really help.I used to suffer with 3 or 4 migraines a week, and at some points it was unbearable. I have been attending sessions with Mike for the last 8 weeks, and I can honestly say its been amazing. Hes really helpful, friendly and makes you feel at ease. He explains everything to you, and tells you what to expect. Iv had 1 migraine in the last 8 weeks, which for me is life changing.I am going to continue booking more sessions with Mike, and have even recommended him to family and friends.

Mike came highly recommended after treating a family member. After being laid up in bed for two days and unable to walk or move Mike soon put me right. A thorough consultation and going forward plan made. I am feeling much better and now moving freely. Also previously suffering from daily headaches these have also decreased. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mike to anyone.

Would highly recommend. Mike explains everything before starting any treatment, which put me at ease immediately. I have suffered with back and neck pain for some time, as well as headaches. I have seen an immediate improvement, and I am sleeping better than I have in a long time.

Amazing knowledge by Mike, he will put you at ease and explain procedures, methods and recovery times.Mike has a friendly nature and his integrity compliments his work.If you have any issues that require his services, I would highly recommend him as the first choice chiropractor.Having been several times, my lower back, which had been playing up eased significantly as the treatments went along, getting better with each one.Mike is also fully compliant with covid regs so there is no need to worry on that level and the hygiene standard is impeccable

Been having trouble with my back for a while. Got to a point where I was struggling to even bend to pick things up of floor.Went to Mike, who done a complaint assessment on my first visit.Every visit since he has continued to improve my agility to a point where I am able to complete all movements without any problems.Highly recommended, if you have a problem do not hesitate to contact Mike. You only get one body, so look after it.

I have been using the service of Neath Port Talbot Chiropractic Clinic for around 5 months. Mainly concentrating on issues with lower Back, and I have to say the results have been amazing, relieve a lot of the pain I was experiencing. And with the addition of being more flexible the treatment has delivered amazing results and will continue to use the services. On a down side they did assure me that I would be able to hit my golf ball 340 yards but as to date this hasn't happened, although this might be a lack of talent on my behalf. Keep up the good work lads.

Having suffered a car accident over two years ago, I was advised to seek treatment and began looking for a reputable chiropractor. I felt I should share my experience here, as it was due to the google reviews by Mike and Naomi’s other clients, that helped me decide to book an appointment at the practice. I was very pleasantly surprised at how effective my treatment was and the difference in just a few sessions. I get a little anxious about these types of appointments, but it is a relaxing environment. Mike and Naomi are lovely people and put me at ease.Two years on, I still receive maintenance care, as I noticed that not having treatment for long periods was setting me back. Also the suggestions on how I can care for my health holistically is very helpful.I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone.
