It has been more than one year since I visited this center. I traveled to them from Saudi Arabia on a friend’s recommendation. My life has changed for the better, and I will visit them again soon. Thank you all.

My posture has improved, I feel taller and have hope for my physical health whilst I am experiencing chronic pain and fatigue (fibromyalgia). It’s been wonderful having regular adjustments which always help. Seb is so knowledgeable, skilled and helpful. The venue is like walking into a SPA rather than a clink and it’s so calming and serene.

Honestly cant recommend Jake enough. Im so impressed with the results from my treatment course. Its such a fantastic concept that they not only treat your pain, but work with you to readjust your posture. After suffering with chronic pain for years Im so thrilled that I am now 99% pain free! I would highly recommend anyone thinking about seeing a chiropractor to go here. You wont be disappointed!

After a fall, I felt significant misalignment through my hip, spine, and neck, and I booked in with Dayaan at Innate Health Chiropractic. From the outset, I felt confident and reassured that I was in safe, knowledgeable hands. The adjustments were adept, efficient, and highly effective, delivered with a calm and holistic approach that immediately put me at ease. I left feeling more aligned, supported, and balanced, and would highly recommend Dayaan to anyone seeking thoughtful, high-quality chiropractic care in Exeter.

Been seeing Jake for a few years now. Initially with a minor back injury that he managed to recover very quickly and efficiently. Continuing to see him regular to maintain mobility. Jake is extremely knowledgeable and I see it as magic how he manipulates the body to improve function. Great new location of office and always a friendly and relaxing visit.

I have seen Jake a couple of times now so far. I had had awful lower back pain for about a year or so now and so far with the small amount of work he has done it is much better, still a way to go but better than what I thought it would be with two sessions I have had so far. Lovely practice, cute dog too, highly recommend 🙂

I had been to other Chiropractors in Hampshire before moving to Devon where only one had managed to ease the pain I had. On moving to Devon, another Chiropractor couldn't get to the problem so I came here to try it out and I was delighted that Seb has worked wonders and would thoroughly recommend this practice.

I was very sceptical at first but I decided to give it a go as 3 appointments at the doctors proved fruitless. Everything was explained as to what was to happen and after my course of appointments I found the pain in my neck had subsided and I had gained more movement in my neck and back . I would definitely recommend Innate Health

Best decision I've ever made having that first scan. Issues with a stiff neck, shoulders and lower back from many years behind a laptop and driving. Several days off work and visiting the Osteopath for quick fixes. This has been intense at times but the difference after 18 sessions close together has been amazing, life changing ! Movement is so much better I feel like an owl I can turn my head nearly all the way around. Gone is the achy feeling, burning and chronic pain from overall stiffness. Best decision ever !

I have seen a couple chiropractors previously but didn’t really have much improvement. I have had 2 sessions with Seb to date, he has helped so much. Seb listened to my issues, took his time to ensure he understood my problems and has already made a massive difference. I couldn’t recommend a more knowledgeable specialist. Thanks Seb, so glad I was pointed in your direction. I will definitely be recommending you and your services from here on! See you soon.

I have seen quite a few chiropractors and osteopaths over the years and am so pleased to have found Jake, who is absolutely the best I've ever seen. Jake is extremely skilled, knowledgable and understanding. He has really helped me to manage my musculoskeletal and chronic pain condition with his very effective treatment and advice. He has also been great at treating various joint pains and injuries and helped me to recover from a broken ankle. I always leave the clinic feeling so much better, with immediate relief from my pain and stiffness. All the staff are lovely and very welcoming. I highly recommend Jake and Innate Health Chiropractic.

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!

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.

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.

I contacted Innate Health because I had been having migraines on a regular basis where my sight would diminish, tingling in my lips, fingers, arms. I would sleep for hours even after taking tablets early and always on the right-hand side. After a couple of sessions, my migraines were reduced considerably. I've had 4 minor migraines since Oct 2024. Seb, who is fantastic and worked wonders on my posture and hip issues after he noticed that my pelvis was tilted, and my spine curved to the right, due to an issue on the left. I would highly recommend Seb. He puts you at ease as it can be daunting hearing the clicks of your body, but I have never felt any pain or discomfort. I now recognize when I need to visit Seb, we have gone from 2 weekly sessions to monthly just to keep everything aligned, especially as I work with reception children and sit on chairs and tables designed for 3-5yr-olds.

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

After experiencing many years of severe neck and back pain and trying many different avenues to resolve it, I booked in for a consultation with Sebastian. He took the time to understand the cause of the issue I was experiencing and was able to successfully diagnose and treat the affected area over a series of sessions. It has drastically improved my quality of life and I would strongly recommend this clinic to anyone in a similar situation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After having a consultation and regular weekly sessions, I no longer have chronic pain! Jake you are amazing. Your knowledge is out of this world! Thank you for being so kind, patient, and really taking the time to understand what was needed to help me live a happier, pain free life.The Chiro king! my only regret is not seeing you sooner. Thank you ✨

I’ve been coming to see Jake for a couple of years now. Initially I visited because of a long term pain in my upper back which he immediately resolved on first visit. Since then I’ve returned every couple of months with various issues including back, ankles, hip and wrist. Things you might not necessarily consider asking a chiropractor to help with… but Jake fixes all! He’s a wizard!

I've been seeing Sebastian for treatment the last couple of months following a minor car collision and he has been very helpful so far, although my pain levels are still high there's so much more movement available for me, I'm very pleased with my progress. Sebastian is very personable and professional, he has good knowledge and shares lots of helpful lifestyle tips and homework exercises. Really happy with my treatment so far and would really recommend him. I'm looking forward to getting back on track in the near future with Sebastians help. All the staff are super friendly and welcoming, even the pooch is warming to me.

I’ve struggled with low back pain for as long as I can remember, but a few months ago it became unbearable to train crossfit with any heaving lifting or dynamic movements. Since I started seeing Seb I’ve been able to squat for the first time I can remember without any pain. It’s been great to work with someone who understands the movements I’m struggling with and I’ve really appreciated the help with activation/mobility/stability that Seb’s given me alongside the adjustments. Huge thanks for your help!

Jake has been brilliant and also Seb the couple of times I saw him. I’ve had quite a few sessions at a really reasonable rate (spreading the cost in two lump sums). The first session was really informative and demonstrated the root causes of my back issues, using pictures and scales etc to establish posture and balance. Reception staff are amazing and welcoming and the whole environment of the place is very relaxing with lovely decor and chilled music. Plus a lush coffee machine. Great place to get your back on track!

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.

I was very nervous attending on my first visit and Hannes put me fully at ease by explaining what he was about to do each time. Am really pleased with the results so far and feeling so much better.

I traveled to them from Saudi Arabia on a friend’s recommendation. My life has changed for the better, and I will visit them again soon. Thank you all.

My posture has improved, I feel taller and have hope for my physical health whilst I am experiencing chronic pain and fatigue (fibromyalgia). It’s been wonderful having regular adjustments which always help. Seb is so knowledgeable, skilled and helpful. The venue is like walking into a SPA rather than a clink and it’s so calming and serene. LiSATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been working with Sebastian for a couple of months now. I initially enquired due to having a troublesome shoulder. Since beginning this journey I’ve seen far more health benefits than I ever would’ve thought would be possible. My sleep has improved massively and overall I just feel great. The clinic is in a great location, it’s warm and welcoming with calm and relaxing interior. I cannot recommend working with Sebastian enough, if you have problem he is the man to see!

Im so impressed with the results from my treatment course. Its such a fantastic concept that they not only treat your pain, but work with you to readjust your posture. After suffering with chronic pain for years Im so thrilled that I am now 99% pain free! I would highly recommend anyone thinking about seeing a chiropractor to go here. You wont be disappointed! Nicole Jayne ElseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After a fall, I felt significant misalignment through my hip, spine, and neck, and I booked in with Dayaan at Innate Health Chiropractic. From the outset, I felt confident and reassured that I was in safe, knowledgeable hands. The adjustments were adept, efficient, and highly effective, delivered with a calm and holistic approach that immediately put me at ease. I left feeling more aligned, supported, and balanced, and would highly recommend Dayaan to anyone seeking thoughtful, high-quality chiropractic care in Exeter.
