Chiropractic is concerned with disorders of the musculoskeletal system. These impair the functioning of our nervous system and so adversely affect our general health. Chiropractic uses gentle adjustment of the spine and other joints to release these imbalances.

Chiropractic healthcare can be helpful in a wide range of conditions as well as making a profound contribution to our overall health and wellbeing.

Schia Mitchell
Herbal medicine, or phytotherapy, is a system of healthcare based on the traditional use of herbs to promote health, combined with a modern scientific understanding of plants, disease and diagnosis.

It is a holistic approach where the practitioner seeks:

• To gently support and encourage the body's own ability to heal itself with the aid of natural therapies
• To identify and correct the underlying cause of poor health rather than simply focus on symptoms

It is a system designed to work with the human body in a way that is both safe and effective.

Cambridge Independent Midwives
Independent Midwives are fully qualified, registered midwives who have undergone the same level of midwifery education and training as their NHS colleagues. The difference is simply that we have chosen to provide care outside of the NHS, in order to provide women and their families with one-to-one, women-centred care.

Siobhan Taylor and Amy Sutton formed Cambridge Independent Midwives in 2006. Both have experience in hospital, birth centre and community midwifery settings but feel that independent midwifery is the most effective way to provide continuity of care and carer. Research has shown that this allows more women to experience a natural vaginal birth. The calm, supportive and friendly approach provides you with a professional but caring service.
