About us

Located in the heart of the City and the business community of Exeter, we offer the services of a fully qualified and registered Chiropractor and Acupuncturist under one roof.

This enables us to provide gentle and effective treatment, help and advice for a wide variety of painful conditions.

Our aim is to provide each patient with simple, effective solutions for their condition to achieve the best results in the minimum time.

In order to give our Chiropractic patients as complete a service as possible, we have on-site X-Ray using the latest digital technology for cases when X-Rays are judged to be clinically necessary.

Exeter’s Cathedral Chiropractic & Acupuncture Clinic is a friendly, modern and easily accessible Clinic for all.
