Chiropractor in Scunthorpe : The Chirohealth Clinic
All of the chiropractors that work at The Chirohealth Clinic have successfully completed an accredited chiropractic degree. Upon completion of this qualification they are bestowed with the title Doctor of Chiropractic. When we refer to our chiropractors as Dr. Julia Pullin for example, the Dr. refers to the Doctor of Chiropractic title, and does not mean that our chiropractors are medical Doctors such as your GP.
Now...let's meet our chiropractors.
Julia
“It’s powerful and exciting,” says Julia Pullin. “As a chiropractor in Scunthorpe I change people’s lives by not just getting rid of their pain but by making them feel great again! I consider myself privileged to make such an impact on my patients lives.”
Julia’s passion for Chiropractic began at senior school around the age of fourteen. After meeting a chiropractor and observing him in practice, she saw her vision of becoming a chiropractor and running her own clinic. The great results her patients have had have resulted in not just one but two modern, national award winning clinics.
Julia and her partner Spencer founded the Lincoln branch of The Chirohealth Clinic in 2002. Following its phenomenal success, the Scunthorpe chiropractic clinic was opened in 2005. However, in 2010 the Lincoln clinic was sold so that they could focus all their efforts on just one location. Julia and Spencer work hard to continuously ensure the standards of the clinic are ever improving yet maintains the personal touch of a small hands on practice.
“I have had the great fortune of having Spencer by my side supporting and assisting in the development of both clinics. Spencer has been the full time clinic manager since August 2006. He now knows why our Chiropractors are so enthusiastic about what they do because he gets to see all the happy patients in the clinic”.
She graduated in 1997 from the prestigious Anglo-European College of Chiropractic (AECC) with BSc(Chiro). She is a member of the United Chiropractic Association, the British Chiropractic Association, the College of Chiropractors and as with all legitimate chiropractors, is registered with the regulatory body, the General Chiropractic Council.
Since starting clinical practice, in order to provide ever-higher levels of patient care, Julia has attended courses taught by world class practitioners. She aims to exceed your expectations in health care, helping you achieve clearly defined health goals without the use of drugs or surgery.
Julia keeps herself healthy and fit with regular Chiropractic treatment and going to the gym. “Your spine needs regular check-ups, just like a car or your teeth. Regular care and maintenance along with exercise will keep you at your peak for many more years”.
She lives with Spencer and her 2 big white ducks Olive and Hattie!
Gavin
“For years, my father suffered immense pain from his low back – then he was introduced to chiropractic by a friend and the whole family was amazed by his recovery.”
“It was his success that led to me attending a chiropractor for treatment and then rehabilitation due to my own sporting injuries. Chiropractic became a part of my health regime and when it came to deciding which career to pursue, I only had one in mind.”
Dr Gavin Young completed his 4 years training, graduating with a First Class Honours Degree from the University of Glamorgan. “The course was very intense and detailed but I didn’t mind because I couldn’t wait to start helping others as I’d been helped” Gavin joined the Scunthorpe clinic in July 2005. “I love the day to day life of being a chiropractor. Repeatedly seeing the positive influence I can have on my patient’s lives makes all the studying worthwhile.”
He’s attended many courses all over the country since graduating, and these have given him a special interest in treating women during pregnancy and children of all ages, including new born babies.
“My second passion is sailing and whenever I get any spare time I will be tinkering with the boat or out there on the water with it. The biggest challenge is getting my crew (wife!) in the boat.”
“Due to the physical nature of work and what I do out of work, I normally get chiropractic treatment from one of our other chiropractors about every 6 weeks. I make sure all my family is treated too, even my nan in her 80’s.
Vicky
“For as long as I can remember, I have had a love for science. I knew I would choose a scientific career and the choice was made after my first chiropractic adjustment.”
In her youth, Vicky suffered for many years with headaches which left her confined to her bed. “I had no idea what a chiropractor did but was at a point where I would try anything. I’d tried all the usual things” she said.
“I started treatment and quickly saw that is was what I’d been looking for. Good health is our greatest asset, and after living with pain for so long I began to forget what it felt like to be well.”
Originally from Doncaster, Vicky embarked upon a 4 year chiropractic degree at the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic, during which time she met some truly inspirational people. It was there that she learnt that chiropractic is about restoring nervous system function through achieving maximum spinal health.
Since graduating she has had the privilege of treating hundreds of people. Through personal experience and the results of her patients she’s developed a specific interest in nutrition and exercise.
James
"I wanted to be part of a profession that could ease pain so efficiently without the use of medication or surgery."
“After 7 years of competing at a high level of gymnastics I thought my sporting days were over.” A gymnastics injury left James with severe pain in his low back and he was referred to a local football team physio. “He took one look at me and declared that a chiropractor was what I needed. After just one treatment my pain was dramatically reduced and I was so impressed that I questioned the Chiropractor all about it. I wanted to be part of a profession that could ease pain so efficiently without the use of medication or surgery.”
Having grown up in Grimsby and with a job that had good prospects, James took the big step of leaving it all behind, attending the University of Glamorgan in South Wales and beginning the four years of training to become a Chiropractor. “It was a very demanding course but extremely satisfying. I particularly enjoyed the hands on aspects of the degree and treating patients in my clinical year. I’m sure my experiences within sport have given me the determination and strength of character I needed to meet the daily challenges.”
James provides care that not only treats the cause of the pain that the patient is feeling, but also aims to improve their lifestyle. “I wouldn’t be doing my best for a patient if all I did was treat their pain and send them on their way. The real benefits to my treatment are in the gradual changes we’ll make to your daily habits which will help to prevent a recurrence of your condition.”
James’ hobbies mainly revolve around sport. He has been a national gymnast and a club golfer, footballer and trampolinist. “I now run regularly for various charities including cancer research, at distances of 10km, half marathon and my first full marathon in 2009 in Blackpool. I'd love to do the London marathon one day!”
During his career as a chiropractor in Scunthorpe, James has found that his patients find it easy to talk to him. “I’m a great listener. Give the clinic a call or email me with the link below so we can discuss your specific healthcare needs.”
