She has been really knowledgable and great to be a client of so far. Looking forward to the rest of the journey.
Absolutely fantastic place with professional, knowledgeable and genuinely caring practitioners. Seb is brilliant at what he does and explains everything so clearly. You can really feel his passion for what he does. After just a few sessions I noticed a significant improvement, not only in my initial condition, but also in my overall physical and mental health. Seb also identified and corrected a hip condition that I had, until now, just learned to live with. If you are considering chiropractic, please don't hesitate to get in touch with these guys. They focus on your whole wellbeing, and it really is life changing.
I'm really glad I found Jake at Innate Health chiropractic. He always knows exactly what the problem is and what to do about it and I know my problems aren't the most simple. When I first saw him I'd been using crutches and could hardly walk. I could hardly walk to the clinic. I trust him to treat me and that says a lot. Highly recommended!
Jake through my course of treatment has improved my range of movement considerably. I would happily recommend it to anyone who suffers with any back or neck issues.
Im over half way through my treatment plan and jake has worked his magic. I was booked in to have an operation on my coccycx and now I dont need it. I didnt realise the pain was connected to other areas of my back so all the pain in my shoulders and neck have been resolved. I have tried lots of chiropractors before but nothing has worked until I met Jake.
I'm nearly halfway through my treatment following a herniated disc and Sebastian has been awesome in my recovery. As well as being a nice approachable guy he has explained everything from my initial scan through to each appointment and adjustment he is making keeping me at ease and confident of my treatment. Innate has a really nice and friendly vibe from the receptionist to the treatment table. Would highly recommend!
I visited the clinic yesterday and I was attended by Seb. I was very impressed with the experience. I will go back for sure
I have been attending the innate Health Chiropractic Clinic for the past few weeks and this has made such a difference to my posture, the pain in my back and hip. Jake explains every step throughout the process of treatments. I would highly recommend Jake and the practice, which I would describe as a very tranquil and welcoming place. Take the first dtep and book for a consultation - I should have done this a long time ago
Love this place! Jake and Seb are great professionals when it comes to posture. I suffered from a shoulder pain I couldn’t even sleep. Sessions with Seb helped me not only to get rid of the pain but to fix the initial issue with posture which was causing all problems. The whole atmosphere there is so aesthetic and warm which is a huge plus for me🤍
I have been attending Innate Chiropractor for over 3 years & without sounding too dramatic it has been life changing for me. I had a really bad lower back & some days struggled to walk but Jakes unique therapy has changed all that & with regular visits my back continues to be significantly better & generally I am pain free most of the time. I would sincerely recommend Innate Chiropractor & in particular I find Jake incredibly knowledgeable, professional, genuine & kind but very effective. I wouldn’t go to anyone else now
I’ve been going to Innate Chiropractic for a few months now having struggled with neck and back mobility issues and I have to say, Jake has made such a difference. From my initial assessment through to having the treatment, every step has been professional, friendly and expertly carried out to the point that my posture is so much better than before with a lot less pain. I would definitely recommend Jake and the team at Innate Chiropractic to anyone thinking of seeing a chiropractor
After suffering for months with an aching lower back that was starting to affect my sleep I decided to visit Jake, he identified the cause in the initial assessment and set out a plan to correct the issue and explained everything clearly. I noticed the difference within a few sessions and now after the full treatment plan it’s so much better. Should have gone years ago before it got so bad.
I was recommended Innate by my son who said Jake was brilliant! He was not wrong, since starting my sessions he has improved movement in my neck,back and knee. I would definitely suggest anyone with pain or limited movement give Innate a go.
My wife had a new hip and was finding that her opposite knee was giving her a lot of pain. After her assessment with Seb her problem was diagnosed and treated with a series of sessions with Jake. She is now able to walk up and down stairs unaided and her co ordination is much better. Her quality of life has improved tremendously.
Recently started a journey with Innate and it's been a fantastic experience so far, from the initial consultation and explanation of the treatment plan. The whole team are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful providing support in all aspects of the practice. I would highly recommend the practice to anyone.
If your experiencing any type of pain then Innate are the place to go. The treatment and relief I have received from Jake makes life a lot easier. The practice is warm, welcoming and relaxed, I highly recommend them.

Sebastian Christiansen
Chiropractor, MCHIRO
My journey into health and wellness began with a passion for sports like basketball, volleyball, football, and weightlifting, which taught me the importance of strength, teamwork, and perseverance. I was first introduced to Chiropractic when I saw how it helped me recover from a serious injury and it got me back to peak performance. That experience lit a spark in me, and I knew I wanted to help others in the same way.
In 2018 I graduated from the University of Portsmouth with a Sports Science degree before I graduated from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic in 2023. As a chiropractor, my focus isn’t just on relieving pain—I’m passionate about helping people understand their bodies and take charge of their health.
Chiropractic care is all about keeping the body in balance and supporting overall wellness. I enjoy teaching my patients how to take care of their spine and adopt healthy habits, so they can feel their best every day. My goal is to inspire people to live healthier, more vibrant lives, and to make a lasting, positive difference in my community.’

Frequently Asked Questions
A chiropractor is highly skilled to detect and correct issues in the spine and joints that alter our bodies ability to function well and maintain a state of health. Chiropractors focus on the nervous system and its ability to regulate our spinal health, muscle tension, posture and joint motion. Chiropractors train at Masters level for 4-5 years at university to understand expertly how the body functions. They also learn a multitude of approaches to help people recover their health and live better lives.
By analysing the skeletal frame, paying particular attention to the balance of the pelvis, the shoulder girdle and the head-on-neck relationship, chiropractors are able to find patterns of stress in the body. These stress and tension patterns accumulate over time and can be the result of injury, habitual postural stress such as sitting at a desk, stress related to our mental and emotional health, and biochemical stresses from toxins in our diet and the environment. These accumulated stress patterns alter our posture, muscle tension and ability of our joints to move well. These changes can lead to pain and degeneration over time.
Chiropractors use adjustments to correct these imbalances. Adjustments can be done in a variety of ways and adapted to the person’s needs, and most often involve a quick gentle thrust to the spine or other joints to loosen restricted and misaligned joints. Chiropractors may also use rehab exercises and stretches to compliment the adjustment.
Chiropractors treat misalignments and imbalances in the spinal column that affect our ability to function at our best. These imbalances can present themselves in many ways, manifesting as back pain, neck pain, headaches, shoulder issues, pains in other joints like the knee and ankle, muscle tension and an inability to relax, disc issues such as a disc prolapse or hernia, and sciatica. Rather than treating the symptoms, we look for the root cause by assessing your posture and spinal movement.
Chiropractors and osteopaths tend to see the same type of issues and both are exceptional for helping people get well. Chiropractors tend to focus more on the health and function of the nervous system, whereas osteopaths tend to focus more on the muscles. Nowadays there is a lot of crossover and there are more similarities than differences. The important thing is to find a practitioner who has honed his craft and made it his or her mission to become exceptional at what they do.
Chiropractic is a very broad profession and there are many different ways to adjust the spine. A good chiropractor will have learnt different techniques and approaches that he can utilise depending on the client and their particular issues.
Chiropractors see patients all the time who come with sciatica. Sciatica is a general term that refers to pain that runs from the pelvis down the leg and often to the calf or foot. Strictly speaking, sciatica is where the large nerve (the sciatic nerve) that runs from the pelvis down the leg, gets irritated, often as a result of a disc hernia, or muscle tension in the buttock area. In the majority of cases, chiropractic is an excellent treatment option.
Back pain is the most common reason for visiting a chiropractor. Back pain is most often the result of a misaligned or restricted pelvis and lower back. These imbalances can pull our muscles tight and lead to further changes that affect other areas, like the mid or upper back, neck, hips and legs.
Chiropractors have traditionally used the honorary title Doctor, or Doctor of Chiropractic. We are not medical doctors and Chiropractic is a well defined speciality in its own right. It should not be confused with being medically treated as a doctor. All Chiropractors must be registered with the General Chiropractic Council in order to use the title ‘Chiropractor’.
We don’t stipulate a specific dress code as all our assessments and procedures can be done fully clothed. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that isn’t restrictive. You will need to remove your shoes, belt and jumper. We have gowns available if necessary.
Chiropractors treat some sports injuries depending on the nature of the injury and where it is. If you are unsure, contact us to see if we can help.
The cost of a Chiropractic visit can vary, generally ranging from £40 to £50, with the initial consultation usually costing a bit more. The price may reflect the location and the level of service involved. Generally speaking, you are not paying for the length of the session but the skill and expertise that that chiropractor offers.
Chiropractic is incredibly safe. We are trained to know when it may not be suitable to adjust someone in certain instances, in which case we can refer you to your GP and request some imaging like an x-ray or MRI.
When searching for a good chiropractor, a word of mouth recommendation can be very useful. Be sure to check out their website and the google reviews. The chiropractor will be more than happy to answer any queries you may have.
One of the best ways to find a great chiropractor near you is to get a recommendation from a friend or family member. Failing that, search for ‘local chiropractors near me’, compare things like their treatment approach, price and style of care they provide. Be sure to read their google reviews. You can also find registered chiropractors on the GCC (General Chiropractic Council). The biggest chiropractic associations are the British Chiropractic Association (BCA) and the United Chiropractic Association (UCA). They will also have a directory of their registered chiropractors.
How often you should visit a chiropractor will depend on many factors, namely the nature of your condition and how severe it is. Typically in the beginning your chiropractor will likely see you twice a week for an initial short phase, then reducing the frequency as you get better. Your chiropractor will factor things in such as your age, general health condition, your health goals and how long you have had your pain.
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly, knowledgeable, great value and most importantly has help with my back and shoulder pain in a very short space of time. Can’t recommend Jake highly enough! Ashley CrowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I heard about Jake’s amazing work through a member of my family who had struggled with severe neck, shoulder, and back issues for years - and who experienced significant improvement/recovery through the work with Jake / Innate Health. Having struggled with my back and neck for years, I thought I’d get in touch to see what Jake could do for me. Jake is very calm, honest, knowledgable and put me at ease immediately - explaining how my neck, shoulder and even knee pain were all connected to my core back/pelvic issues. After following an extended action plan and sessions with Jake, my back pain has reduced drastically, as too have my neck and shoulder issues - I will definitely be going back to Jake for any future flare ups. I highly recommend getting in touch with Jake to see what he can do for you - you will not regret it! James GeerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jake has given me back my life after severe facial pain for 18 months with no medical remedy Jake diagnosed it and helped make it better, if it plays up I just go see him and he calms it back down again, can't recommend him enough elaine spryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Jake at Innate Health enough. I have been seeing Jake for around 3 months and while the problem in my back and shoulder now feels better, the fine tuning he has done has stopped many other aches and pains that I was putting down to getting older. I have seen many other chiropractors over the years but none have bothered to explained the treatment and the ongoing effects like Jake has. I would not trust anyone else with this kind of care anymore, I think Jake is truly one of a kind. Jonathan LiddonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been going to see Jake for a little while due to some ongoing issues with neck tension and serious pain, migraines, all stemming from teeth grinding and jaw issues. I was willing to try anything and was even looking into orthodontics and spending a lot of money there thinking that may help. Even after my first session with Jake, my neck and shoulder mobility had improved so drastically I was actually in shock. He is so knowledgeable, and I feel really grateful that he talks through why these symptoms occur and why what he is doing helps correct. It gives more of a sense of how to look after my body and what things to keep an eye on going forward. Definitely trust him with recommendations for time between appointments and frequency, I've always found the appointments come around just when I feel I need them! I now don't have to take painkillers everyday, my mood has improved also because I rarely have pain in my face or neck. I also feel comforted that if these issues start to rear their head again, I know Jake will be able to help prevent further complications. Thank you so much for what you do, I have quality of life again :D Joy ChanterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing osteo's, chiro's, physio's, you name it for 40 years, due to an accident in my teens causing back issues. I have now found Jake and I will never go anywhere else. He is so intuitive and knowledgeable, he explains everything as he works. His treatments are gentle, effective and long lasting. You get fixed, not just treated to then wait for the problem to come back. Don't bother going anywhere else for treatment. I started to see Jake due to intense shoulder pain and reduced mobility. The pain had spread to my elbows and hands. Both shoulders were now frozen, I couldn't lift my right arm or put it behind my back. I could no longer use my arm for carrying, lifting, even getting dressed was difficult. Soft tissue damage then set in. I was diagnosed with PMR by Rheumatology at the hospital. I was offered steroids which I didn't take. After a six week intensive course with Jake I got movement back in both shoulders. I then went to see him once a month. Hands and elbows stopped hurting and to cut this short, I now have NO pain at all and am back to swimming crawl for long distances with no pain. I am able to start building up strength in my right arm as well. Jake not only fixed the obvious screaming problem, but his approach was to treat the body as a whole. So many other areas were suffering from the side effects of 2 affected areas. He found all these and more!! Having gone through 3 operations for breast cancer including a mastectomy and complete lymph removal there were loads of other issues unrelated to shoulder pain. You don't need to tell Jake what is wrong or where it hurts because A, he will find it and B, he will work on the areas causing the pain. I can not rate him highly enough. TIFFANY TURNERTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I suffer with fibromyalgia and insomnia, Since seeing jake my mobility, posture and insomnia has improved massively. I no longer rely on sleep aids regularly. Jake is such a friendly person happy to answer questions and explain you don't understand, he cares about his clients and is very passionate about what he does and gives great advice. He also takes the time to explain exactly what hes doing and what it means. I would 100% recommend him. He's definitely improved my quality of life Jodie SimpsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jake has incredibly healing hands and can fix you in seconds! He is such a lovely presence and it’s always nice to chat with him. I truly recommend him, he is the best! Zoja BegovicTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After just a few sessions with Jake, I started noticing a significant improvement in my back pain. His gentle yet effective approach to chiropractic care helped ease the tension in my muscles and align my spine, providing much-needed relief. I was impressed by his professionalism, his attention to detail, and his compassionate demeanor. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience at Innate Health. He's an outstanding chiropractor who truly cares about his patients' well-being. If you're looking for a skilled and caring chiropractor, I highly recommend Jake!" Natalie DolanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jake was very thorough and relaxed putting us at ease straight away and sorting the issue. Would definitely recommend. J Christie
