Well, I grew up down here in Eastbourne and was always fascinated by how the body worked. How the brain controlled everything and sent signals to your arm to move it, or co-ordinate muscles to walk, and I was amazed.

After suffering from sciatica sporadically over 40 years l thought it was time to try a different solution. What a difference this has made to my life. The staff are friendly & very professional. If like me you suffer from back pain l cannot recommend Lushington Chriopractic highly enough. After an incident involving a rather unfortunate manoeuvre stepping over my dog l managed to put my back out & trap a nerve. This made my entire right leg extremely painful. Team Lushington have been fantastic! It's been a bit of a haul but again l'm now pain free & able to lead a normal life. Many thanks to James, Stuart, & Dara for their care & treatment.

Arrived for an appointment in pain and virtual unable to walk due to a severe arthritic knee. After intense treatment and massage I am mobile and virtually pain free, just waiting to see an Orthopaedic Surgeon. I would highly recommend this practice not only for their professionalism, friendliness and knowledge. Every member of staff treats you with empathy and an interest in your specific case. Congratulations James on a very dedicated team.

I’ve always had a great experience at Lushington. I’ve had a few different chiropractors and they’re great giving lots of helpful advice as well as wonderful treatment. But the shining star is Theresa at reception, she always gives you such a warm welcome and is so helpful and caring. Definitely the place to go!

In the New Year I was suffering from a slipped disc and deterioration of my lower back. As a result of this a friend of mine suggested I contacted James from Lushington Chiropractic, which I did. I am still having treatment with James but I am feeling so much better. There is no more pain relating to my slipped disc and as a result of his treatments and exercises at home I’m able to move around pain free. Following my, very thorough, first consultation James identified that I had problems from a neck injury from several years back. I’d been having headaches for years and had put it down to stress of life etc. Since James and Kim, who gives an excellent deep massage, have been giving me treatments for this my headaches have subsided. Additionally to this review I’d like to say thank you to Claire, on reception who does an excellent job and makes you feel very welcome. Thank you to all at Lushington Chiropractic.

Due to work activities I really struggled with pain in my lower back and had always been in fear of seeing a Chiropractor. However I was put at ease mentally and physically by Dr Victoria White. After an intense treatment program my back pain had gone and mobility had also improved. now I see Dr Victoria White once a month for maintenance and I am Pain free. I cannot rate Dr Victoria White high enough an excellent service. All the team at Lushinton Chiropractic are really friendly especially front of house.

I have been going to Lushington chiropractic since Nov 2017, Victoria has well and truly sorted me out. My back was a mess due to my line of work but within a few sessions a she had me walking easier and in a lot less pain. I have kept up my treatment to maintain my new found freedom. I have also started seeing Ryan for a massage. His hands are magic! He found my problem areas without me saying anything and was the best massage I have ever had. All in all these guys are magicians and I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I have been going to see James for some time now for neck and shoulder problems that I had endured for many years. I am so glad I found the clinic at Lushington. What an amazing team they all are. From the warm, friendly and welcoming reception staff especially Claire to the excellent treatment from the knowledgeable and professional Chiropractor and massage therapy team. I would highly recommend Lushington Chiropractic to anyone.

I thought I'd try Lushington as I have a chronic muscular stenosis as well as lumbar arthritis. I had a series of sessions with Joshua French who helped to ease my aches and pains and lower back problems. I've followed that up with a monthly massage from Ryan Keats who takes great care in analysing my specific weaknesses to achieve the best outcome. I am very pleased with the treatment received and know that I can increase or decrease the sessions as it suits me. I particularly like the fact that all treatment is explained carefully and patient notes are kept to assess progress.

I was recommended Lushngton by my GP as I had been suffering from a bad back and pain in my leg. I can't thank them enough for their help. Regular chiropractic with massage has helped me immensely. I am no longer on painkillers and can enjoy walking again. The chiropractor, massage therapist and reception staff were wonderful. Made me feel very at ease and enjoyed my visits to them. Thankyou and have recommended to freinds.

I came to Lushington Chiropractic following issues with my back, neck and knee which I had been enduring for a number of years. I have recently been receiving treatment from James and have seen continued progress with my adjustments with no (prior to treatment common strains/pains) recurring. The staff are always very welcoming and professional and I have felt very comfortable there. I have no hesitation in recommending Lushington Chiropractor to my friends and family or to anyone needing treatment.

I have been having treatment for 2 months now and have seen vast inprovement in my back to the point where i can say it doenst give me any pain during my day.

I went to Lushington Chiropractic following an ongoing issue with my back that became completely unbearable very suddenly. I have been seeing Dr Victoria for 6 weeks now and have seen incredible progress. The entire staff are very welcoming and professional and I feel very comfortable there. I would highly recommend to anyone needing chiropractic care!

Highly recommend to anyone needing treatment. Friendly and welcoming reception staff, with very comfortable waiting room. Professional care provided with very successful and effective results. The free evening classes are also super interesting and helpful. I wouldn't go anywhere else to see a Chiropractor and I was quick to notice improvement in my QOL. I also appreciated the time taken to help me understand the cause of my problems and what treatment would help and how. Top class service, 5 stars!

I started to see Gemma a couple of months ago with a very debilitating sciatic pain down my left leg, thigh and buttock.The pain increased when I was sitting, and was worse when I was driving or sitting for long periods of time. I had been in pain for nearly a year. I felt very desperate as no one seemed to be able to help me. The pain was affecting my life in a negative way. Gemma was very understanding and when she said that she could help me, I was so happy I had come to the right place at last. Over a numbers of weeks I saw a steady improvement in my pain levels.Gemma was so helpful and showed a huge amount of empathy.At last I had hope that things might actually start to improve. Gemma made adjustments to my spine and manipulated muscles that weren’t working properly. Slowly I made improvements, driving and sitting watching TV didn’t cause as much pain as before. Thank you Gemma, I can’t thank you enough and I would have no hesitation in recommending Lushington Chiropractor to my friends and family.

Brilliant service by Dr Joshua French at lushington chiropractic, was in excruciating pain and barely able to walk, josh was very professional and incredibly knowledgeable in his field of expertise. After a couple of sessions I was already walking better and standing up straight was much easier. I had a total of 8 treatments and felt like a new man. All the staff were very supportive and I’ve had regular phone calls to make sure I’m ok, couldn’t recommend these guys enough, they all go above and beyond to get you back on the straight and narrow. Thanks

I have visited the practice following an excruciating nerve pain down my left arm. The environment is relaxed and I felt at ease with everyone immediately, from the receptionists to the practitioners. Mykel examined me, spotted the problem and within a few sessions with him I had my sleep back. I am now recovering with Gemma and getting better and better. Thanks to Victoria as well for her help. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lushington Chiropractic thanks to the knowledgeable people and the friendly atmosphere. Claudio

I have been receiving treatment from Josh since he started a couple of months or so ago. He has helped me tremendously in reducing the amount of pain in my knee by making adjustments to my ankle (never had that before), working on my hip and working on areas surrounding the knee. Within the first 2-3 sessions with him the severe pain I had for a year and a half prior was reduced by around 80% and I can now load my knee a lot better and continue to progress. He has also really helped my shoulder by making adjustments to my neck and spine which has allowed me to exercise more and recover better from my workout's after having 4 shoulder surgeries. I would highly recommend him for both sports people and also to people just looking to get their bodies moving in the correct way and reducing unnecessary stress on the joints. He's a great guy aswell so you will really get on with him, he will really look after you and has great knowledge too. I have also seen other chiropractors at the clinic and masseuse's and they have also been great. Thank you Josh and to all the staff at lushington including the reception staff who are great. John

I've been attending for various treatments for sciatica mainly and muscle tension. Always welcoming and kind. Ive been seeing Dr Mykel Mason, Olly, and Louise. I can highly recommend all practitioners in their expertises. Genuine concerns for their clients and practical exercise handouts in between treatments. Good free informative talks about general maintenance and care of body Good central location.

Dr Mykel Mason has been looking after me at this clinic for a year and a half and he is working wonders on a knee problem that has troubled me for some time. He is an absolute professional in his approach to patient care and treatment and I would thoroughly recommend him. The whole team at Lushington Chiropractic are welcoming and a pleasure to see, thank you so much guys!

The reception staff are very welcoming. I've been treated by Dr Mykel Mason he is very knowledgeable and so far he's had an answer for all my ailments. He has explained everything step by step which makes you feel relaxed about the treatment to follow. I highly recommend Lushington Chiropractors and Dr Mason - a top class service!

I have been going to Lushington Chiropractic for a number of years now and I am very impressed with the whole experience. The first thing you notice is just how pleasant the place is, it is always spotlessly clean, well looked after and a rather calming environment. The clinic staff are wonderful, they always have a smile and a cheer for you, and everyone I have met at the clinic makes you feel welcomed from the moment you walk in the door, which I really do like and value. Dr Revell, as are all the staff, is very attentive to your concerns and makes you feel at ease and takes the time to explain to you any proposed treatments, and I never feel like talking to him is too much trouble or a problem. I always feel better after visiting and would thoroughly recommend the clinic to anyone looking for a high-quality service and practice with a patient focused approach.

I have the highest of praise for Lushington Chiropractic. I first attended last Autumn in some discomfort, minimal flexibility and with ever growing pain in my neck, shoulder, arms and fingers. I was assigned to Vicky who I cannot express just how much she has helped me and I am now without pain, standing straighter then I have in years and now I feel I am able to take on more. I was deeply impressed by how thorough Vicky was in going through my medical history and she was able to say that she would be able to help me. She was certainly true to her word. I now look forward to the treatments as Vicky's professional attitude and very warm personality ensures I am always relaxed. I cannot recommend Vicky enough and I can say the same for the other chiropractors who have seen me when Vicky was fully booked. At these times it was very clear that my treatment plan had been shared and I so appreciated this consistency in approach. If you are struggling in some way with back pain or something similar, book yourself a consultation and see what it can do for you.
