Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments use precise manual techniques to restore joint mobility and alleviate nerve irritation. This treatment addresses back pain, neck pain, and headaches by correcting spinal misalignments that affect nervous system function. Patients benefit from reduced inflammation, improved range of motion, and long-term pain management without pharmaceutical intervention.
Sports Massage
Specialised sports massage targets muscle tension and sports-related injuries through deep tissue manipulation and stretching techniques. This therapy enhances athletic performance, accelerates recovery, and prevents re-injury by improving circulation and muscle flexibility. Both professional athletes and recreational sportspeople benefit from tailored treatment plans.
Remedial Massage
Remedial massage addresses chronic muscle tension and postural imbalances using targeted pressure techniques. This treatment reduces pain, improves posture, and promotes relaxation by releasing muscle knots and enhancing blood flow. Particularly effective for office workers and individuals with repetitive strain injuries.
Pregnancy Care
Pregnancy-specific chiropractic care addresses musculoskeletal changes during pregnancy using gentle techniques. This service alleviates back pain, pelvic discomfort, and sciatica while preparing the body for labour. Regular adjustments help maintain proper alignment and reduce pregnancy-related discomfort through all trimesters.
Posture Correction
Posture correction programmes address work-related musculoskeletal strain through spinal adjustments and ergonomic advice. This service prevents repetitive strain injuries by correcting spinal misalignments and teaching proper body mechanics. Patients receive personalised workstation assessments and posture improvement exercises.

Report
After being self-employed and working from a laptop for 1.5 years, my back became extremely tight, and I had difficulty lifting my arms above my head. However, upon visiting Mette at Bearsden Chiropractic Clinic, she achieved remarkable results. I left the clinic feeling significantly improved, almost skipping out the door. The change she brought about in just one session was astonishing. I have since made modifications to my home office setup and incorporated a stretching exercise into my routine to prevent a recurrence of the issue, which has been very helpful. Nevertheless, I plan to return for follow-up appointments.
A friend, who travels from London to see her, referred me to Mette, demonstrating that her services are well worth the trip. I highly recommend her, with complete confidence, and give her a full endorsement.

Report
I have had recurring back problems for several years. After visiting Mette for a couple of weeks, I am amazed at the improvement, with my mobility restored and the pain eliminated.
