Susan Abel
Chiropractor
Susan treats both the spine and the peripherals: shoulders, elbows, knees, ankles. Susan uses many different modalities in her treatments: mobilisations, myofascial soft tissue work, rehabilitation exercises, and chiropractic adjusting. If you are afraid or dislike the chiropractic ‘crack’ it is not a problem.
Susan is happy to work without adjusting if you prefer. In some cases, she will rule out chiropractic adjusting, even if you want it, in the case that she believes it is unsafe to do so. She has been described as one of the most thorough chiropractors that many patients have seen, as she believes that without a complete history and examination she can’t treat effectively.
She is often the choice of chiropractor for those who would prefer an osteopath – but can’t find one – or those with a dislike of being adjusted.
Her repeat appointments are half an hour long (rather than the usual 15 minutes of most chiropractors). This longer time is required so that she can include the soft tissue and rehabilitation exercises and other modalities into the treatment.
Susan has been working as a chiropractor since 2016. She trained in chiropractic after first having a career in information technology which gives her a more mature perspective on the demands of trying to achieve a work/life balance.
