Back, neck and joint pain can seriously impact your life - from stopping you doing your job properly to you not being able to play sport or preventing you from enjoying playing with your children or grandchildren.

So many of our patients say that they wish they had come to see us sooner but they hadn’t realised how much relief they could get so quickly.

At Avenue Clinic, our team of experienced chiropractors in Southampton, understand the impact that pain can have on you and your life, having successfully treated many thousands of patients over the past 34 years. We will help you to understand that back pain does not need to be a major problem in your life, and with treatment your pain can be controlled to be just an irritation. Together we can overcome your pain and any concerns.

“They are so professional and work magic here.” – Mrs C M. Southampton
