In Balance Family Chiropractic, a Cambridgeshire chiropractic centre is preparing to introduce a non-surgical spinal decompression system, becoming the first clinic in England to provide the technology.
The development follows a full reinvestment of the practice’s 2025 profits into enhanced strength and conditioning facilities, reflecting a broader commitment to patient-focused care.
Founder Andrew Coombs, who trained at the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic after moving to England as a child, has spent eight years building the clinic into a comprehensive wellness provider.
The practice now delivers a wide range of services, including blood testing, supplementation, ozone therapy and shockwave treatment.
The decompression unit, currently being shipped from South Korea, incorporates 3D and AI-assisted capabilities and is expected to be available to patients from 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 is also among a small group of UK practitioners offering Cranial Facial Release for conditions including sinus problems, migraines and TMJ disorders.
“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.
With turnover rising by 20 per cent, the business is planning to recruit additional team members and appoint another chiropractor to meet demand.
“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.
The expansion is intended to strengthen access to advanced non-surgical treatment options.
