About Chris Pickard D.C.
Qualifications
I graduated from Europe’s longest established Chiropractic College, the AECC,in 1995, with a B.Sc (chiro). I then spent a year getting to grips with practicing in the real world before completing my Diploma of Chiropractic.
I am a member of the British Chiropractic Association, the European Chiropractic Association, and am fully registered with the General Chiropractic Council.
As a Chiropractic patient with Hay Fever
My first encounter with chiropractic was when I was eight years old after falling of the top of my bunk bed.
I went back again as a teenager with hay fever. It turned out a problem in the base of my neck was interfering with nerves that went back into my head. This was in turn causing me to react to pollen. Once my neck was moving properly my hay fever improved dramatically.
Deciding to be a Chiropractor
A year later I decided to become a chiropractor! I graduated from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic in 1995 and went to work in Central London’s most established chiropractic clinic, Sayer Clinics. I left Sayer Clinics in 1999 to travel around the world for 10 months with my wife Kerry.
The Pain Relief Centres
On returning to London in the summer of 2000 I joined a practice in East Barnet, and with 8 years of experience under my belt I set up my own clinic in Brookmans Park, Hertfordshire in 2002. Easter 2006 saw the opening of our North London clinic in Finchley.
Always learning – Chiropractic Techniques and Research
Since leaving college I have continued my chiropractic education learning techniques that primarily utilise the complex interactions of the nervous system. Applied Kinesiology, Total Body Modification and Bio-Energetic Synchronisation Technique all allow a deeper insight into the cause of many of the body’s problems, whether physical, chemical or emotional.
Chiropractic Pain Relief for any age
These techniques allow safe, natural and effective treatment of all age groups. My oldest patient is 96, and the youngest was 18 days (not including my own sons who were checked for spinal problems at only 2 minutes old).
Beyond Pain Relief to Health and Wellness
In addition to chiropractic and osteopathic techniques I have extensively studied health and wellness in general, diet, nutrition and exercise. This has allowed me to help people with heart disease, diabetes and even cancer.
