Ben Carruthers Ben Carruthers DC. MChiro. LRCC

Ben graduated with a Master’s Degree in Chiropractic from AECC in 2021 after five years of training. Following a further one-year post-graduate training year he was awarded licentiate status of the Royal College of Chiropractors. His professional association is with the British Chiropractic Association, and he is registered with the General Chiropractic Council. Ben uses a combination of techniques and skills that he has acquired both during his undergraduate studies, and in practice.

Ben spent his childhood surrounded by the rugged country of West Cornwall, fostering a healthy love of the great outdoors. Having tried the city life in London, Ben decided emphatically that he missed the colour green too much, and has since joined us here in Shrewsbury. Outside of the clinic, Ben is a passionate musician, and cook, finding comfort in the methodical nature and meditative effect of both.

 

As part of Severn Chiropractic Clinic Protocol Jessica, Ben and Rachel study and review together to continually ensure they are the best they can be.
