Momentum Chiropractic Clinics are based in Newton Abbot and Taunton. They were started in 2010 by principle Chiropractor Matthew Wright. Both clinics have onsite parking and are based on the ground floor.

Patient care is paramount and we strive to provide our patients with the latest up to date testing and clinical procedures in a friendly yet caring environment. This combination allows us to produce outstanding results.

We work closely with patients to manage their needs, whether it is to get out of pain or to achieve optimal health and wellbeing.

The spine and skull are a protective mechanism designed to shield the body’s most vital organs – the brain and the spinal cord. If the spinal joints have restricted movement, it can create an interference between the brain and the body which can lead to many forms of body dysfunction and potentially pain.

These spinal joint restrictions (also known as subluxations or misalignments) may not always cause pain but will negatively affect the way in which the body functions. Misalignments are usually caused by stresses on the body. These stresses are typically physical, chemical or emotional.

Examples of stresses include:

Physical

A fall, poor posture, growth disorders, pelvic imbalance.

Chemical

Ranging from a poor diet to toxins such as caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, drugs.

Emotional

Personal or work stress. Chiropractic adjustments remove joint restrictions to optimise the transference of nerve messages between the brain and the body allowing for maximum health and wellbeing.

Stages of Care

There are three main types of chiropractic care – Relief Care, Stabilisation Care and Wellness Care.

Relief Care

This is the process of helping the body out of pain or discomfort. A patient may require Relief Care from an acute injury, a chronic long-term injury or long-term neglect of the body. Symptoms or pain are the body’s way of warning us that something is wrong. Usually the problem has been ‘brewing’ under the surface for weeks to many decades before you even feel it.

Stabilisation Care

The transitional period between Relief Care and Wellness care. Once the pain from the initial complaint has been reduced or has disappeared, we then go through a process of breaking down bad habits, that the body has created over time and reinforcing new healthy habits e.g. allowing muscles, ligaments and fascia to adapt to a better alignment.

Wellness Care

Designed to improve your health and spinal function through regular chiropractic care. Once the body has achieved stabilisation, Wellness Care helps to prevent the problem re-occurring whilst continually improving your health. Regular wellness care helps to address any minor problems before they are given the chance to become more serious problems and keeps you feeling great. Many health conscious people choose to have Wellness Care. This means that you do not have to be in pain to start seeing a chiropractor.

The Chiropractor will give you a schedule of recommended care but it is always your decision as to how long you wish to benefit from chiropractic care.
