Chiropractic assistants

Chiropractic assistants work during several of the chiropractic sessions at the Wingfield and Chippenham clinics. All have recognised massage diplomas, are experienced in treating basic sports injuries and have undergone rigorous additional training by Healthcare 2000 Clinics.

The programme we have evolved at our clinics has been designed to fulfil our own needs to train assistants to take over some of the more time-consuming duties of the chiropractor, leaving the chiropractor free to help more patients. The chiropractor can therefore concentrate on eliciting the case history, performing the examination, reaching the diagnosis, formulating the treatment plan, delivering the chiropractic adjustment, assessing and reviewing progress and directing any adjunctive treatment procedures to be carried out by the assistant.

Sue Johnson

Sue is the longest serving CA, having joined the Chippenham clinic in March 1995. As she has been with us for such a long time she knows many of the patients and is adept at putting them at ease. She has helped to train many of the CAs and has, in the past, had her own remedial massage practice at Chippenham.
