Cheltenham Chiropractic Clinic’s director and Chiropractor Catherine Owers will be taking a well earned holiday in Cornwall next week so the clinic will be closed from Friday 1st October until Monday 11th October. The clinic phoneline and email address will NOT be monitored during this time so if you need to make an appointment or alter an existing one please send an email to [email protected] or ring 01242 513459 and leave a message, Catherine will respond to you when she returns on Monday October 11th.
If anyone really needs to be seen before she returns Catherine would recommend calling the Skelian Chiropractic Clinic in Cheltenham on 01242 254000.
Cheltenham Chiropractic Clinic is fully open!
Cheltenham Chiropractic Clinic is fully open and accepting new patients although we are usually booked up about 2 weeks ahead for initial consultations (New Patient appointments.)
Our registered Chiropractor Catherine Owers has been working without a receptionist since Covid – this means she may take longer than normal to return your call or email – please be patient, if you leave an answerphone message with a contact telephone number she will get back to you in a few hours. It is often quicker to send an email if you are looking for an appointment time, then Catherine can reply with available appointment options – [email protected] is the address to use.
As we now have no receptionist it will be our Chiropractor Catherine herself who meets you in reception, takes payment and arranges your next appointment – her admin skills are improving and she’s even worked out how to use the printer so everything is now running smoothly!

Catherine has received four Covid vaccinations and is now working without a mask, Public Health England have allowed healthcare workers to stop wearing all PPE for face-to-face treatment since May 2022 (If you prefer her to wear a mask or full PPE for your appointment just ask – she will do whatever makes each patient feel comfortable.) It is now each patient’s choice whether or not they wear a mask to their appointment, with enhanced cleaning in between each and every patient our clinic is a very safe environment; Catherine hopes to see you soon!

Cheltenham Chiropractic Clinic will remain open in tier 4
Cheltenham Chiropractic Clinic will remain OPEN now that Gloucestershire has moved into tier 4.
Chiropractic is a government regulated healthcare profession and we are classed as essential, attending a Chiropractic appointment is a valid “medical reason” for going out in a tier 4 area.
Treating musculoskeletal injuries in our clinic takes the pressure off NHS services and the government are encouraging everyone to keep accessing their routine medical care. We are here for you!
We will continue to provide a safe environment following strict infection control guidelines from our professional association, regulators and Public Health England as we have been since July.

Our Lovely Receptionist is back!!
Look who’s back!!!
From Monday 2nd November our lovely receptionist Mandy will be coming back to work part time, Hooray!! Catherine is very pleased about this as she is not very good at working the card machine or the printer 
Having Mandy running the front desk and answering the phones should mean we can fit more patients in per day so hopefully you won’t have to wait as long for an appointment. Her office hours will be: Monday and Tuesday 2-6pm and Thursday and Friday 9am-1pm so if you ring during these times you should be able to talk to her directly, if you call outside these hours Catherine will be in charge of the phone but as she can only get back to people in between treating patients you may have to wait a bit longer for a call back.
If you do get our answerphone please DO leave a message with your contact telephone number and we promise to get back to you as soon as we can, the answerphone is checked at regular intervals throughout the day,
You can see flowers and fizz in the photos because Mandy had a big birthday last month – 21 again!
The other bonus of Mandy coming back to work is she can help with the cleaning – 4 Marigolds are better than 2!

Cheltenham Chiropractic Clinic is now fully back up and running
We are pleased to say that Cheltenham Chiropractic Clinic is now fully back up and running – our registered Chiropractor Catherine Owers has been hard at work for the last 5 weeks and is finally getting used to working in full PPE (although that hasn’t been much fun in this heatwave – especially as we aren’t allowed to use fans at the moment!!)
Catherine is leaving a 20-minute gap between each appointment to thoroughly disinfect all contact surfaces (treatment bench, reception desk, chairs, door handles etc.) between each and every patient. We take your safety very seriously and uphold the highest standards of cleanliness but this does mean that our appointment capacity is significantly reduced and you may need to wait a bit longer for an appointment at present, apologies.
We have installed a perspex safety screen on the reception desk and all patients are asked to wear a mask for their appointments – Catherine is wearing a surgical mask, safety googles and single use apron and gloves for every treatment and all windows are open for good ventilation. Both treatment benches have been covered in anti-microbial vinyl and all chairs are now plastic covered for easy cleaning.
We are still working without reception cover at present so we may well take longer to return your call or answer your email – please bear with us, if the phone is not picked up please do leave a message with a contact telephone number and Catherine will return your call as soon as she has a gap between patients. Email is the most efficient way to contact us at present so if you would like to make an appointment please send a message to [email protected] including your preferred date/time of appointment and we will do our best to fit you in.

Cheltenham Chiropractic Clinic has a theme song!!

Clinic Update from Catherine – Routine appointments available from July 6th
Here is an important clinic update from Catherine Owers, our Clinic Director and Government Registered Chiropractor:
“I am working very hard behind the scenes to make Cheltenham Chiropractic Clinic as safe as possible for our patients and staff once we reopen for face-to-face treatments. I want to be absolutely confident that I have done everything in my power to get the clinic Covid secure and this includes sourcing enough protective clothing and equipment to keep us all safe. Unfortunately some items of PPE are proving very difficult to get hold of I have therefore made the decision to delay re-opening for face-to-face treatments until Monday July 6th – this will be for all treatments however, not just urgent cases, so if you are feeling in need of a check-up after the rigours of lockdown please get in touch. I am very sorry not to be opening sooner but I hope you will all understand that I have to be totally confident with my safety preparations, I want to get this right and not rush re-opening. If you are really struggling in the meantime I am still available for telephone and e-mail consultations and I will do my very best to help you remotely – please email [email protected] or ring 01242 513459 for help and advice or further information.
We are well on the way to re-organising the clinic rooms with a protective reception screen, hand sanitiser stations, antimicrobial vinyl wipe-clean covers on the treatment benches and chairs, Covid-secure signage and information posters plus removing any multi-use items such as magazines or leaflets. Our cleaning regime will be intensive with a full wipe-down of all multi-contact surfaces (door-handles, treatment bench, chairs, reception desk, surfaces etc.) with anti-viral disinfectant between EVERY patient – plus a gap of 15 minutes to air the rooms fully as recommended by Public Health England. We will be sending out a detailed information sheet to every patient prior to their appointment detailing the new clinic protocols and what to expect when they arrive, we will also be taking a lot of our case history notes over the phone to minimise physical time spent in the clinic room. I will be wearing full PPE (face shield, face mask, single use plastic gloves and apron) for every treatment – please don’t be scared, although I look like a spacewoman I’m still the same person underneath and will appreciate any funny stories, bad jokes or interesting facts as per usual!
If you would like to book an appointment, ask for more information or just have a chat please send an e-mail to [email protected] or ring 01242 513459 (Please leave a message with a contact telephone number if there is no answer.) I’m really looking forward to catching up with you all, stay safe and I hope to see you soon!”
Please get in contact if you have any questions, keep an eye on social media (see links below) and the NEWS section of this website for further updates.
