“Craig is a magician and expert in his field. I could hardly move with a bad back the other day, 4 days before a half marathon, he worked his magic and today it is back to normal. I highly recommend him.” – Nicholas Manuel

HOW I CAN HELP
Most people come to see me because something hurts
Sometimes the pain has started suddenly. Sometimes it has been coming and going for months or years. Either way, the first job is to work out what is likely to be driving it, whether chiropractic care is appropriate, and what is most likely to help.
Back pain
Acute, recurring or persistent back pain.
Neck pain & stiffness
Pain, stiffness and restricted neck movement.
Sciatica & nerve-related symptoms
Pain, tingling or numbness travelling into an arm or leg.
Shoulder & joint pain
Problems affecting the shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, elbows and other joints.
Sports & exercise problems
Musculoskeletal problems affecting training, sport or activity.
Headaches & muscular tension
Including headaches associated with the neck.

WHY THEBODYWORK
A practice built around clinical judgement, not a clinic process
TheBodyWork is a deliberately focused practice. There is no standard pathway that every patient is moved through and no pressure to fit a preset model of care. I assess the problem, decide what is clinically relevant and adapt treatment according to what I find and how you respond.
Treatment is individual rather than formulaic.
Depending on what I find, it may include joint adjustment, manipulation or mobilisation, soft-tissue techniques, movement and rehabilitation work, and practical advice to help you manage the problem between appointments.
If chiropractic care is not appropriate for you, I will tell you.
1. Assess before treating
Your history, symptoms, movement and examination guide what happens next. Treatment starts with understanding the problem, not with applying a technique.
2. Treatment tailored to your case
I use the approach that appears most appropriate for you rather than following a fixed sequence of adjustments or appointments..
3. Clear, direct advice
I explain what I think is happening, what I recommend, what I think is realistic and when another route would be more appropriate.
4. Treatment plus rehabilitation
Hands-on care is combined with movement, rehabilitation or self-management where these are likely to add value.
The aim is not simply short-term relief. It is to help you recover well and become less dependent on treatment.
YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT
What happens when you come in?
Your first appointment is about understanding why you are hurting, deciding what is appropriate and getting you on the clearest path toward relief and recovery. There is no one-size-fits-all routine.
1. Tell me what’s been happening
We start with your history, symptoms, what has changed, what makes things better or worse, and what the problem is preventing you from doing.
2. Get properly assessed
I examine the relevant joints, muscles, movement and function, and where appropriate carry out neurological or orthopaedic tests.
3. Understand the plan
I explain what I think is happening, discuss the options with you, and agree the most sensible next step. If I do not think chiropractic care is right for you, I will say so and, where useful, suggest what to do next.
Treatment usually begins during your first appointment, where appropriate.
There is no obligation to continue treatment beyond the first session.

YOUR CHIROPRACTOR
Experienced care, clear thinking, individual treatment
I’m Craig Heaven, a GCC-registered chiropractor practising in Tunbridge Wells. My work is built around two things: understanding the problem properly and treating it skilfully. I use careful assessment and clinical judgement to decide what is most likely to be driving the pain, then apply precise hands-on chiropractic treatment according to what I find.
Most of the work happens on the treatment bench. I have spent years refining manipulative and manual techniques, and I adapt them to the individual rather than applying the same adjustment routine to everyone. The aim is always to use the right technique, in the right place, for the right reason.
Communication matters just as much. I want you to understand what I think is happening, why I am recommending a particular approach, what I am doing during treatment and what I think is realistic. If I believe chiropractic care is not the right option, I will say so.
Rehabilitation and self-management are added where they genuinely help, to support the core work. My aim is to combine sound clinical judgement, skilled hands-on care and clear explanation to reduce pain, restore function and help you get back to doing what matters.

PATIENT EXPERIENCES
What patients say
“I saw Craig with a very stiff neck and pain when I turned my head. Within a quick look Craig found the issue, and explained everything he was doing. In 15-20 minutes my range off motion was back and after a couple days the pain had all gone.”
Mitchell De La Rosa
“My right knee has been in agony and I’ve had years of upper back and neck pain. After seeing Craig, my knee has felt perfect! No issues. My mobility on my back and neck is renewed and the pain has now gone too. Craig is an expert. I highly recommend if you have pain anywhere.”
Hector Raw
“Craig has been incredibly helpful. I came to him with sciatica caused by a bulging disc, and thanks to his treatment, I’m now pain-free. I’m so grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone.”
Josie Griffiths
