Our Services
Chiropractors (practitioners of chiropractic) use their hands to treat disorders of the bones, muscles and joints.
Chiropractors use a range of techniques, with an emphasis on manipulation of the spine. They may also offer advice on diet, exercise, postural correction and lifestyle. They will give rehabilitation programmes that involve exercises to do in your own time
Diversified Chiropractic
At Alpha Chiropractic and Sports Injury Clinic, we use an adjusting style commonly referred to as “Diversified.” Many people ask the questions “what is chiropractic?” or “what is a chiropractor?” Diversified is the technique practiced by Danial David Palmer, the first chiropractor who founded the chiropractic medical profession in 1895.
Gonstead Technique
Named after its developer, Dr. Clarence Gonstead, this approach came from his engineering background. His “foundation principle” explains how a subluxation pattern in one area of the spine can produce compensatory changes in another.
Thompson Drop Technique
The Thompson Technique, developed by Dr. J. Clay Thompson, has evolved into a system of analysis and a way of adjusting the full spine.
The combination produces precise adjustments and high levels of patient comfort.
Activator Methods
We use one of the most popular “low force” chiropractic techniques in the world.
The Activator Methods® Adjusting Instrument is a handheld spring-loaded tool that delivers a consistent low-force, high-speed thrust.
Supportive Therapies

Customer Reviews
My back is like a ‘normal’ back now. I am pain free
After having an MRI scan, I was told I needed a back operation. I really didn’t want that. A colleague at work told me about an amazing chiro he knew, I’d had lots of treatments by different people up until then so did not think anything would work. My colleague convinced me to give Kevin a go; I am so glad I did. For those of you who suffer from back problems you will know how miserable it is. My back is like a ‘normal’ back now. I am pain free, I go to the gym regularly and I can attend classes- even one called Body Attack! I joke that Kevin has ‘healing hands’; but I think he does! Thanks Kevin.
Most highly recommended
I go to Alpha Chiropractic clinic after Kevin came to my place of work in Hemel Hempstead. I was impressed with his ability to tell me what pain he thought I was in. I go for Chiropractic sessions and for injection treatment regularly. I even make the journey from Hitchin on days off. He has even accommodated an emergency which I was so grateful for. Kevin is great at what he does and the practice is very nice and always has parking space at the back. Most highly recommended.
