Nikki Collinson Chiropractor

So many times I have been asked why I chose to becomes a chiropractor, why I went through all the years of training rather than stay in my comfy (albeit unfulfilling ) corporate financial career….the answer is simple…..to make a difference. To learn how to be able to make a significant difference to people and animals lives at a time when they are experiencing problems, issues, pain, or restriction. When life is not going quite as it should be. To be able to have the skills to possibly help someone or an animal get back on track, increase their quality of life, and their performance is amazing.

I have 2 ruptured discs in my lumbar spine from previous injuries. I have suffered from migraines and headaches since my early twenties. I have a history of knee problems since I was a child. I have had car accidents, numerous falls from horses and crash landed a parachute jump. But I have also run the London Marathon, completed the Great South Run twice, done 2 solo parachute jumps, a skydive, the IW Randonee cycle 3 times, and a bungy jump. I have participated in the UK 24 hr Three Peaks Challenge and 2 endurance Row for Life events. With regular chiropractic care I have overcome my physical challenges to still lead a fulfilling life. I have learnt that I must value my health because without it I cannot help others. When I let my own treatment plan fall behind, I pay the price and my pain returns. My mission is to lead by example, to show you how, with regular chiropractic care, by following advice, acknowledging your limitations and looking after yourself you too can still reach your potential. Alongside a love of animals it was inevitable that having the opportunity to become an Animal Chiropractor would be on the agenda too, studying Veterinary Chiropractic with the International Academy of Veterinary Chiropractic! How cool is it to be able to work with people AND animals? Very few professions offer that, so I am one lucky girl!
