About Tom
The chiropractor behind Tom the Chiropractor — his training, where he's practised, and how he works.
Hi, I'm Tom.
I'm the chiropractor behind Tom the Chiropractor, based in central Loughborough. I see every patient myself, from your first appointment through to your last — I've learned it's just as important to understand the person as the pain, so I focus on what may be contributing to your pain rather than only the symptom in front of me.
Qualifications and regulation
I'm MChiro qualified, trained at the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic, and registered with the General Chiropractic Council (GCC No. 05268). I'm fully insured.
Chiropractors in the UK must be registered with the GCC to practise — the same way doctors are registered with the GMC. That means a recognised standard of training, an enforceable code of conduct, and a route for complaints if something goes wrong. You can check any chiropractor's registration on the GCC's public register.
Where I've practised
I trained at the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic, then spent some time practising in Cornwall before joining Health on Hand in Leicester and Mansfield, where I've practised for over half a decade and still see patients today.
I'm gradually moving to work full-time here in Loughborough, close to where I live — for now that means limited days while I build up, with more added as I go.
My approach
"A simpler, more personal approach to chiropractic. I'll make getting the right care as straightforward as possible, and I'll only recommend what I believe you need."
- Convenient — book online in under a minute, with easy parking just 30 seconds away.
- Personal — you see me, Tom, every time. No being passed between practitioners.
- Clear — a plain-English explanation of what's going on, and a realistic plan for what comes next.
- Honest — no pressure into open-ended treatment plans. If I think a physio, GP or another professional would be more appropriate, I'll tell you and help point you in the right direction.
Outside the clinic
You'll usually find me on a dog walk, out on the golf course (with more enthusiasm than skill), or catching up with friends.
