Keeping the Community well Adjusted since 2008
Your needs and opinions are important. You'll enjoy a new level of care and attention to the problem that you're here to discuss with me. There will be time to talk in an unhurried environment
I am equally at home with performance athletes' injuries as I am with minor aches and pains
I can offer advice that is sound, peer reviewed and sympathetic to your ability and time constraints
I will respect you and be professional toward your beliefs and to your complaint. I aim to make your experience of chiropractic both rewarding and enjoyable
Pay As You Go
I enjoy rehabilitating chronic longstanding complaints as much as I do new fresh complaints
My "plan' is to keep this affordable and transparent with no hidden costs
I will create custom plans, strive to deliver excellent care but foremost listen and be guided by what you need from me
Let's 'nip problem in the bud'- Mild problems can often respond very favourably when examined and treated early on.
Honesty & Realistic Goals
No overpromising. If my plan doesn't work, we change it for an alternative approach. If you're not responding to my care I will already have a plan B. No lengthy treatment projections, within just a few sessions, we'll know if we're on the right path. If not, I won't keep you coming back time and time again. Gaining your trust is very important. The clinic has access to consultants and scanning if required
I can write to your GP if you wish to be referred through the NHS (a small charge applies unless its absolutely necessary)
If you're happy with your outcome, I will invite you on to maintenance care to prevent recurrence once you feel ready to see me less often. I'll try and improve your quality of life and to be the best you can. I will be on hand if anything happens
I hope to be the last 'port of call' in searching for the right practitioner for you. Its a call away 01656 331551
meet the chiropractor
Hello, I’m Olwen
Welsh Institute of Chiropractic 2007
I am new to Porthcawl but not new to running a Chiropractic clinic. I have enjoyed a very successful career since 2008.
"Nice to Meet You"
"It's true when they say that 'when you enjoy your work, you never really work a day'.
I became a resident of Pontypridd back in 1998, Becoming a Chiropractor has meant finding my calling in life. My intention upon opening in Hopkinstown, Pontypridd was to bring affordable private care to people who need it most. I am deep rooted in the community and have a solid relationship with my patients. I value their loyalty, trust and recommendation. I have always dreamed of opening another clinic and home Ì can make a success at this second location. I expect to see a greater diversity of injuries here because Porthcawl is known for its water based sport events.

Let's Talk About Chiropractic, What is It All About?
"In a nutshell, we specialise in the correction of problems in joints and the way these problems affect nerve function. We use techniques called 'Adjustments' to correct these problems. The adjustment aims to get you moving better.
With growing experience, Chiropractors are known to develop finesse and an innate ability to diagnose neuromuscular complaints and to treat them.
Chiropractic isn't for everyone. You'll be given a thorough consultation during which your suitability will be measured and ultimately you'll be the one to decide whats best for you, based on the presenting information we have.
We, as a profession can't make claims that are unsupported. We can only try, within safe limits to counteract the effects of stiffness and injury caused to the body by approaching; with caution and care. We are trained to examine the spine and the body's extremities, and to safely manage the patent's condition within the individual's own limitations and what they're prepared to undertake. Some patents value just the advice following diagnosis, some are prepared trust me to propose a treatment plan that will aim to treat the complaint until its acceptably manageable. I rarely advise a plan if I don't think it will work. We can only but try, as I say.
Your prognosis, (the likelihood of you getting better) is like an empty pot, the more complications you throw in that pot, the less optimal your 'prognosis'. This is why its important to arrive in clinic with an army of information. Do you have scan results, copies of your medication lists? These will all help so bring them along. This information will help to paint a picture of who you are, if there are complications beyond reasonable risk but foremost will give us hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel!
Over my career I have enjoyed working with pregnancy patients during their ante-natal complications, cases of neck pain that lead to referred cervical radiculopathy pain in the arm, sciatic nerve pain associated with lumbar spine issues, sports injuries, wellness care, postural assessment, disc pathology investigation and treatment, shoulder pain and dysfunction, knee degenerative cases, hip pathology, carpal tunnel syndrome, weight loss advice, perimenopause and menopause advice. Though it would be unwise to claim that Chiropractic can cure any of these listed problems, in my experience it has been evidenced to help alleviate the associated problems that they cause.
Pontypridd Chiropractic was opened with a view to provide accessible, affordable quality healthcare to all. No bias, noprejudice. I believe that Chiropractic is innate to us all, even as young children we detect dysfunction and yearn for better movement"
