Caleb Ruthven, Chiropractor

I’m an experienced, evidence-based chiropractor focused on treating the spine, surrounding muscles, and the body as a connected system. After a thorough assessment, I create personalised treatment plans that combine hands-on care, exercises, and lifestyle guidance to relieve symptoms, improve mobility, and support lasting wellbeing. My approach includes Diversified and Gonstead techniques, soft-tissue work, and gentle alternatives such as a drop table or percussive adjusting tool for those who prefer to avoid traditional spinal “clicking.” I aim to identify the cause of discomfort—not just manage symptoms—so you can move better and enjoy a healthier, more active life. Outside the clinic, I enjoy home improvement and gardening with my two children. Balancing family, career, and these passions keeps me grounded and brings a practical, well-rounded perspective to my work.

Now introducing Shockwave therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical method to effectively treat tendon pain and muscular injuries. It increases circulation and promotes tissue repair to help reduce pain. This technology uses high power sound waves targeted at a specific area to stimulate cell repair and recovery. It is mostly used for tendon, muscle and fascia problems, particularly the Achilles tendonitis, patella tendonitis, Tennis elbow and plantar fascia conditions. You will be assessed by your therapist to see if this treatment is suitable for your injury first. A typical course is 4-6 treatments. Research has proven shockwave therapy to be effective for: Achilles tendinopathy Plantar fasciitis Shoulder tendinopathies Bone calcifications Patellar tendinopathy Tennis elbow Shin pain Hip bursitis Muscular trigger points
Treatment for tendon and muscle injury's.
