Colehill is about seven miles from our chiropractic clinic in Verwood, roughly sixteen minutes by road. That is a longer run than most of our catchment, and we would rather give you the real figure than round it down.
Colehill sits on the eastern edge of Wimborne, which puts it slightly closer to us than the town centre does, and the route across avoids most of the Wimborne traffic. It is a large village of around 7,000 people.

We see Colehill patients for the same things we see everywhere: backs that keep going, sciatica, necks that seize up at a desk, and knees that have not settled. Adjustments are small, instrument-assisted, and involve no cracking or forceful manipulation.
At sixteen minutes this is a deliberate journey rather than a convenient one, so it is worth knowing what it buys: a defined course of four treatments, a compulsory review at the fourth, and a cost you know before you agree to anything.
Start with the free 15-minute assessment. If we do not think we can help, we will tell you at that appointment rather than after you have made the trip four more times.
Getting here
About 16 minutes from Colehill
Where we are
Bank Court, 12 Manor Road, Verwood, BH31 6DY. Roughly 7 miles from Colehill, east and clear of the Wimborne traffic.
Parking
There is parking at the clinic at Bank Court, so the longer drive does not end in a car-park search.
Getting seen
No referral and no waiting list. Appointments are usually available the same week, and there is a later finish on Tuesdays if the drive suits you better after work.
What makes this easier/comfortable from what you have tried before
Not because the profession is different, but because of how this clinic works: four appointments, a compulsory review, and a known cost.
No exercise programme to take home
You will not leave with a sheet of exercises to get through. That is deliberate. We steady the joint first.
Precise, instrument-assisted adjustments
Adjustments are made with instruments rather than purely by hand to make it more comfortable and easy for you. Very small, measured movements to one specific joint, and nothing else which makes rapid response more likely in our experience. The attention to detail is the point.
The same protocols, whoever you see
Every practitioner at the clinic follows the same documented protocols. What you get does not depend on which clinician you happen to be booked with.
Short appointments, and few of them
Treatments are 15 minutes. Most people are managed with occasional appointments once the initial course is done, rather than an open-ended weekly commitment.
Our mandatory review
Every course has a compulsory review at the fourth appointment
We have always done this. At your fourth appointment we look at whether your pain has eased, whether you can do more, or both.
If nothing has changed, we refer you for further clinical investigation rather than carry on treating.
85%

treatments in the Foundation Phase, including the review. A defined course, not an open-ended plan.
64%

Almost70%
came to us with back pain. It is what we deal with day in, day out.

The adjustment
Gentle, considered care
Every adjustment is made with instruments, which lets us put a small, controlled amount of movement into one specific joint therefore being very precise and repeatable. That precision is the point: and attention to details gives the best result in our experience. We have found this delivers the most comfortable, considered, easy and rapid response. When you are treated, you either lay flat face down or stay sitting upright, fully clothed, and each step is explained before it happens.
Why Frameworks
A unified technique developed over 32 years
The clinic was founded by Dr David Eldridge, 32 years in practice, and every clinician follows the written protocols he developed. Over a four-appointment course that consistency is the point — particularly when each appointment is a sixteen-minute drive.

Colehill: common questions
Yes. We are about seven miles away in Verwood, roughly sixteen minutes by road, and Colehill's position on the eastern side of Wimborne makes it a slightly shorter run than the town centre.
It is the honest figure, and it is why we suggest the free assessment first. Fifteen minutes tells you whether the treatment is likely to work before you commit to four more journeys.
No. Adjustments are made using instruments that allow us to create very small, precise movements. This emphasises what we believe is the need for gentle, easy and considered care.
There is no cracking, forceful thrust or sudden manipulation. When you are treated, you either lie flat on your front or remain seated upright, fully clothed.
The Foundation Phase is four treatments over two to four weeks, £228 for the course. The fourth treatment includes a mandatory review after which many patients are seen occasionally rather than on an ongoing plan, and how often is discussed individually.
No. You can book the free 15-minute assessment directly, and appointments are usually available the same week.
