In Balance Family Chiropractic, a Cambridgeshire chiropractic practice is preparing to introduce a non-surgical spinal decompression unit that will be the first of its kind in England.
The move follows a decision to reinvest all profits from 2025 into new strength and conditioning facilities, supporting a broader treatment model.
Founded by Andrew Coombs, a graduate of the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic, the clinic has expanded over eight years to offer a range of diagnostic and therapeutic services.
These include blood testing, supplementation, ozone therapy and shockwave treatment, forming part of a holistic care approach.
The new decompression unit, being imported from South Korea, will feature 3D and AI-assisted technology and is scheduled to launch in late May.
“We are really proud that we will soon be offering something that you can’t get anywhere else in England. We are investing in the business for the benefit of the clients,” said Andrew Coombs.
“This is a wellness facility, a complete holistic business. We are investing heavily in affordable, approachable, professional healthcare. The biggest compliment we get is after the first assessment is ‘wow, that’s the most thorough assessment I’ve ever had’ and that is what we want. We want to give anyone coming in that ‘wow’ moment.”
The clinic also offers Cranial Facial Release, a specialist technique used for sinus, migraine and TMJ-related conditions.
“I am one of six people in the UK who is qualified to perform CFR; indeed, the only other one outside of London and Wales is my twin brother David, who operates down the road,” Andrew added.
The business has recorded a 20 per cent increase in turnover and is planning further expansion through additional staff recruitment and the appointment of another chiropractor.
“I want to buy our own premises and then foresee additional satellite practices, which will be smaller but then if needed have access to our main facility and that could take us anywhere – the South of England, and beyond. We already have clients travelling to us from as far as Essex, Suffolk and beyond,” Andrew said.
These developments are intended to support wider access to non-surgical treatment options.
