What Purley patients say
Always friendly and gets me back in alignment.
Highly recommend. Outstanding results in minimal sessions.
Kind, knowledgeable, efficient, really good guy, highly recommend. Oh and great location, easy parking as well!
Was in a great deal of pain after a gym injury. With one trip to Richard, I walked out pain free and happy again!! Thank you 👍🏼
Richard is a brilliant Chiropractor, very friendly and professional. Whenever my back problems flair up he will sort it out as quickly as possible.
Saw Dr Spice for a shoulder issue and he was great! Professional, attentive, and knew exactly what to do. My shoulder’s feeling so much better — highly recommend!
I’ve had an excellent experience. The improvement in my posture is noticeable as well as less pain. My treatment was carefully planned and explained to me. It’s a pleasure to be there.
I had my second treatment today, very positive experience. Richard is very personable and explains things really well. I already feel different in myself and I’m looking forward to progressing more.
I would recommend Richard to all. He looks at each patient and health issue individually and creates treatment plan to suit. From elderly parents to young adults he always provides pain relief and ongoing care advice.
I first visited Richard after I’d slipped a disc in my back many years ago and I’ve been going ever since. His ability to diagnose where the issues are coming from is unbelievable, you feel re-set after every session. Would recommend to everyone.
Richard was recommended to me by a friend when I had ongoing hip and knee pain that was not resolving. Within the first session Richard identified the problem and has been working on this since with great results. Richard is highly professional and knowledgeable and an expert in his field. I highly recommend him
I have been seeing Richard on and off for two years with my back essentially, (I a runner) he has fixed me within two sessions each time & got me back running again afterwards, I personally think he’s amazing & has magic hands, he has a calm professional manner & will explain in simple terms what is wrong & what he is doing treatment wise. 10 out of 10 from me
I have been consulting Richard for many years. He is always cheerful, helpful and genuinely interested in his profession. He approaches his work with a spirit of enquiry, always ready to think differently, according to the needs of his patient, but underpinned by a solid grounding in the fundamentals of chiropractics. I highly recommend Richard for any niggles or physical pain.

Reedham station is the closest, and Purley station — a major interchange with fast services to London Victoria and London Bridge — is about half a mile away.
