Shifnal Chiropractic Clinic in short

Shifnal Chiropractic Clinic is a single-practitioner practice in Shifnal led by Laura Cunningham, who appears on the GCC register as practising with the clinic as her registered workplace. Her site lists a Master of Chiropractic and a history stretching back well over a decade, and the prices page sets out exact fees with written deposit and cancellation terms. In our judgement this is the Shifnal pick of the round: one named chiropractor with a long registration history and nothing left to guess on price.

The record shows treatment for common complaints from back pain and neck pain to sciatica and shoulder pain, from the Dyas Close clinic serving Shifnal and Telford. Opening runs across six days including Saturday morning, with booking by phone, text or contact form. New patients get treatment at the first appointment, and younger patients pay reduced rates. Patient reviews are few but warm: Google shows a headline rating of 5.0 out of 5, beside a smaller WhatClinic listing.

What counts against it in our judgement is the thinness of the public record: a small review base and no published insurance detail. The practice also trades without a limited company behind it, so there is no company record to check. Shifnal Chiropractic Clinic suits you if you want a named Shifnal chiropractor with published fees, a long registration history, and a practice small enough that you always know who will treat you.

Questions about Shifnal Chiropractic Clinic

Is Shifnal Chiropractic Clinic any good?

On the evidence, yes for anyone who wants a single named chiropractor: Laura Cunningham holds long-standing GCC registration, fees are exact with written terms, and the clinic opens six days including Saturday morning. It sits second in our Telford table, marked down on a small review base and unpublished insurance detail. Read the full review and its sources, then call or text the clinic to book a new-patient appointment.

Is its chiropractor registered with the GCC?

Yes. Laura Kate Cunningham appears on the GCC register as practising, first registered in July 2010, with Shifnal Chiropractic Clinic at Dyas Close as her registered workplace. Her site also lists a Master of Chiropractic from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic. You can confirm the registration yourself by searching her name or number on the GCC register.

What does Shifnal Chiropractic Clinic charge?

The prices page sets exact terms: a new-patient appointment that includes treatment, then a lower fixed rate for standard treatment, with reduced rates for under-16s. A deposit applies to bookings alongside written cancellation terms. The site states no VAT position, so ask what the quoted figures include. Get the likely number of sessions and the total programme cost confirmed before treatment starts.

Where does Shifnal Chiropractic Clinic work?

It works from 5 Dyas Close in Shifnal and lists Shifnal and Telford as its service area. Treatment happens at the clinic, so you travel to it. Send your postcode with your enquiry to confirm you are covered, and ask about step-free access and parking when you book. The clinic sits in a residential close, so plan your route before setting out.

How do I get a quote or book a visit?

Call or text the clinic on its published number, or send the contact form with your symptoms and postcode. The clinic opens across six days including Saturday morning. Say where it hurts and how long it has lasted, ask for the first available new-patient appointment, and get the programme cost confirmed alongside the deposit and cancellation terms.

What do the reviews say?

Google shows a headline rating of 5.0 out of 5 from 10 reviews, beside a WhatClinic listing at 4.7 from 3 reviews. That is warm but thin, so treat it as a hint rather than proof. Read each review yourself on the listings, and set them beside her registration entry and published fees.

How does it compare with the others in the round?

It is the Shifnal answer to two Telford options: the same single-practitioner shape as Hayley White, with Saturday hours and exact fees on the site, against the Centre for Positive Health with several chiropractors plus massage and complementary therapies. The leader offers depth under one roof; Shifnal offers one familiar practitioner closer to home for Shifnal residents. All three hold GCC registration and publish their fees.

How is Shifnal Chiropractic Clinic ranked?

It ranks second of the three Telford practices in our September round, close behind the leader. We looked first at what patients say, then proof of registration, then trading history and openness about fees. Its registration history and fee transparency score well; the small review base and unpublished insurance detail hold it back.
