Your First Visit - What to Expect
Your first consultation will include the taking of a full history of your current health issue and any relevant previous medical history. Following this you will receive a physical examination that will assess your overall posture and functionality, specifically leading to a diagnosis of your current issue(s). Generally, you will not be required to remove your clothing unless it is necessary for your examination and treatment.
Once your history and examination is completed, the doctor will discuss his findings with you and make suggestions as how best to resolve your health problems. Once you are both agreed on a treatment plan then you will receive a treatment on this first visit (unless there is a good reason not to). Remember, sticking to the advise and agreed plan is the best way to full and long term recovery.
After treatment you will be advised on what to expect in terms of how you are likely to react and feel over the following few days. You will be advised on home care, work and recreational issues. You will schedule your next appointment(s).
Follow-up Visits
On your second visit, your doctor will ask how you have felt and coped from the time of your first consultation and treatment. As on all subsequent visits, he will review your condition and administer treatment in accordance with what he finds. He will reinforce advice on work, rest and play.
When the pain is gone and function is restored it must be remembered that the previously injured tissues (muscles, ligaments and joint capsules) are still weak and need to be made strong again. This can only be done through rehabilitative exercise. Your chiropractor will advise you on what is the best form of exercise for you.

A number of our patients have kindly given nice testimonials for their treatments at Alpha Chiropractic Clinic Hemel Hempstead.
Customer Reviews
Back pain improving after only a few weeks of treatment
“I had been suffering from back problems for several years and had been through physiotherapy but was still suffering, it reached the point that my life was suffering as a result so I was told to give chiropractic therapy a go. A quick Google brought up Alpha Clinic which was very close to my office and had good reviews.
After a few weeks of treatment I was already much improved and have now reached a point where I am exercising again by swimming and also going back to the gym. I had never thought that would happen and am so grateful to Kevin and his “healing hands”.
I would highly recommend the treatment and also Kevin at Alpha Clinic as both have made a real difference to me.
Thank you!“
The best my back has been in 15 years
“I have one leg shorter than the other from a football injury when I was 20 (now 45) which had created some back problems. Kevin proved to be ideal and after several weeks of treatment and keeping to his advice, my back has been the best it’s been in 15 years and am now doing a lot more. I had a groin issue as a “knock on” from correcting my back and he has treated this successfully too.
Was recommended by a friend. I found Kevin very easy to understand and almost look forward to attending and getting some good pain! I have now attended approximately 12 sessions and have not regretted it for a moment.”
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
Electrical Therapy: InterX 5000
The InterX 5000 is the first product from NRG to use a new generation of neurostimulation technology called Interactive Neurostimulation. Hand-held and battery operated, the InterX 5000 delivers significant results in applications such as, Injury Management, Rehabilitation and Pain Relief – both acute and complex chronic pain conditions.
McTimoney Chiropractic Technique
At Alpha Chiropractic Clinic, we will tailor the correct chiropractic technique to suit your treatment needs and preferences. We can offer a lighter chiropractic technique known toggle recoil technique, which is very similar to McTimoney chiropractic technique.
Chronic Migraine Treatment
At Alpha Chiropractic & Sports Injury Clinic, Kevin Loughlin uses botulinum toxin (Botox ®) to treat chronic migraine.
Kevin is a qualified nurse and an Independent Nurse Prescriber. He can assess your suitability for treatment and also administer the treatment.
