First experience of visiting a chiropractor. Having suffered lower back pain for many years I thought I’d give it a try. Pain has reduced significantly and no onset severe muscle strain since I’ve been going. Receptionists are always welcoming, especially Kirsty who always loves a chat and makes you feel at ease. Highly recommend George, he has a calm presence and reassuring if you haven’t been to a chiropractor before.
Response from the owner:Ah thank you Melanie, we are so glad to hear George has been helping so much. Lovely to hear we make you feel at ease too! Thanks so much for the feedback

I live in Edinburgh and yet travel to Boness to the Spinal Health Centre. I have seen both Melinder and Seth and I cannot recommend them enough. Having spent years seeing alternative specialists in Edinburgh for my trapped Ulnar nerve issue, within minutes Melinder knew exactly what the problem was and was able to relieve the pain. I regularly see Seth now, he is also an excellent chiropractor. Worth the travel.
Response from the owner:Thank you Samantha for taking time to leave us a review. We are so happy to hear you are having positive results with your treatment

Having suffered with lower back pain for over a year due to falling downstairs, a friend suggested going to chiropractor. Was a little apprehensive but physio didn't help. Seth has been great and the difference is immense. I was drained and struggling with walking,sitting and climbing stairs. After several sessions and acupuncture the difference is amazing. Highly recommend Seth and wish I had tried chiropractor sooner.
Response from the owner:Thank you Emma, so happy to hear Seth has been able to help you!

I can’t praise Mel enough. I’ve been a patient for 10+ years and she’s always been able to help me with my on going issues & flare ups. Over lockdown she was able to support me through a particular rough period. I would recommend her & the team to anyone.
Response from the owner:Thank you Michelle! Looking forward to seeing you soon.

I've had a good number of appointments and treatments now and it's made a tremendous difference both to my range of motion and levels of pain in my back, neck and shoulders. Friendly, helpful staff and skillful, knowledgeable practitioners make Bo'ness Spinal Health Centre first choice for treatment.

I cannot recommend Melinda highly enough. I started experiencing pelvic girdle pain 14 weeks into my pregnancy, by 16/18 weeks I struggled to walk 10 steps to the bathroom without being in severe pain. I had one visit with Melinda and it took the pain away almost in its entirety. I saw Melinda through-out my pregnancy where she made numerous adjustments and kept me pain free through-out the remainder of my pregnancy. I was able to continue going to the gym up to 38 weeks pregnant and walked daily until giving birth. I will definitely be visiting Melinda with any future pregnancies and would highly recommend her to anyone who is pregnant. Since giving birth I took my baby to Melinda at around 6 weeks as she was really struggling with bowl movements and would uncontrollably scream at the same time everyday as she tried to do the toilet. Melinda was extremely gentle with her and soothed her anytime she got upset as well as making sure I felt at complete ease and part of the process through-out the appointment. On our first visit Melinda could feel tension where her bowl lay and adjusted her in her arms. As soon as she had been adjusted she feel asleep in Melinda’s arms which was a miracle given she never slept during the day!
Response from the owner:Thank you Karla - looking forward to seeing you and your lovely baby in the clinic soon. 🙂

I first booked into the Spinal Clinic for a Hip Injury that had me off my work. I was given an appointment with Dean. With my first appointment, I was made to feel at ease, and it was clear Dean could put my mind at rest with his knowledge and understanding of my type of injury. With my ongoing injury, Dean has been a great support with my recovery, and has helped me to get back to work and fully functional with many tips, and exercises. I cannot recommend Dean and the Spinal Clinic enough, and I will continue to use them for the foreseeable future.
Response from the owner:Thanks Rachel - it was a pleasure to have you in the clinic!

I really recommend Mel as a gentle, patient and encouraging chiropractor. I have been taking my young child to see her for over 6 months, not for anything in particular, just to help keep them happy and healthy! Mel has been great at building my childs trust and making sure they're comfortable and confident about getting their adjustments. They now get excited about going to see 'Dr Mel' - the fun wall stickers help!
Response from the owner:Thank you, glad the fun stickers help

After years of back pain and sciatica I had an MRI which showed compressed discs. I went to Bo'ness Spinal Health and saw Mel. She spotted immediately that my hip was out of alignment. One appointment and the adjustment has sorted out my discomfort. I go back occasionally, never feeling like I'm forced into making more appointments necessary. Now 4 other members of my family also see Mel and I can honestly say she is brilliant! She is our MAGIC MEL.
Response from the owner:Thank you Beverley we love seeing you all in the clinic.

After months of ongoing hip pain and issues, I was referred to George Shanley at Bo'ness Spinal Health Centre for physio - after one session, huge improvements both in terms of movement and pain reduction. I only wish I had seen George months ago.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the review. We are happy to hear George has helped you and you have seen huge improvements. Take care and we will see you next time:)

Dorothy Warren

I thoroughly recommend Melinda as a gentle skilled chiropractor. I have attended regularly for around 20 years for pelvic adjustments and she keeps me pain free and active. Prior to seeing Melinda I had 7 years on painkillers and problems with different leg lengths after giving birth. I find that for me an appointment every 8 weeks works well and Melinda always suggests how long to wait. She also adjusts my ribs when my asthma is bad which helps open up my chest. I often see Rob for a targeted sports massage prior to seeing Melinda which makes the treatment extra beneficial.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the lovely review Dorothy, we look forward to seeing you soon.

Highly recommended! Have attended Melinda & Rob here regularly with my husband for years. They're my saving grace! Melinda interpreted my CT scan results & they both fixed my prolapsed discs. Forever grateful.
Response from the owner:Thank you Elaine! We love having you both in! Looking forward to seeing you both soon!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much Andrew! We look forward to catching up with you at your next visit 🙂
After having pulled my lower back out from rugby I have been seeing Mel for about 6 months now and she has completely changed my quality of life! After my first few appointments my pain levels plummeted and my range of movement improved significantly! Finally I was able to put on my own socks and shoes! I was so anxious to begin with because I was in so much pain I didn't want anyone to touch me! In my first session after a neck adjustment I burst out laughing! It felt amazing and I have felt relief after every session I have been to! I only go for monthly check ups now which are still so beneficial with my rugby and my skiing. Best decision I have ever made! Thank you so much Mel and your brilliant team! 🥰
Response from the owner:We are so glad to help you on your wellness journey. 😉
