Following the most recent Government Guidelines for January 2021:
We are open.
Background
In January 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of a new coronavirus disease in Hubei Province, China to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. WHO stated there is a high risk of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) spreading to other countries around the world.
World Health Organisation
WHO and public health authorities around the world are taking action to contain the COVID-19 outbreak. However, long term success cannot be taken for granted. All sections of our society, including businesses and employers, must play a role if we are to stop the spread of this disease.
Our New Policy at Severn Chiropractic Clinic
The latest Government guidelines have now deemed it safe for Chiropractic Clinics to open under certain circumstances and conditions. These are outlined under the headings below :

Welcome to Severn Chiropractic Clinic offering the highest quality of healthcare in a warm and considerate environment.
Keeping it Simple
Chiropractors excel in their ability to detect subtle differences in structure and function of the body. They complete a rigorous, five year, full time education in Clinical Sciences enabling the patient to feel safe and protected; understanding that they can entrust their health and well-being to a qualified professional of neuro-musculo-skeletal disorders. In recent years the advances in clinical neurosciences means that it has also been possible to help understand how Chiropractic treatment affects the nervous system and how this allows us to restore and preserve good structure and function within the musculoskeletal system. Chiropractors are legally able to diagnose and treat the body; the profession being regulated by the General Chiropractic Council (GCC).
