About Chiro Culture
About Us
Dr Ellie (Doctor of Chiropractic) set up ChiroCulture in 2021 to create a Chiropractic clinic where people can come to receive expert and professional treatment in a relaxing and friendly environment. ChiroCulture is exactly that. It’s all about the culture – making sure that you feel welcome, cared for and well looked after every time you set foot through our doors.
Our mission is to inspire change within yourself and those you care about. But what does that really mean?
As a patient, you want a therapist you can trust, a therapist you have full confidence in to offer you the right treatments and support, and a therapist who genuinely cares about you. This is at the core of ChiroCulture’s values and how we seek to inspire change.
What Is Chiropractic All About?
We’re here to support you in achieving your health and wellbeing goals, and chiropractic treatment is one of the ways in which we can help.
Chiropractors use techniques to ease muscles and joints by realigning the spine and neck. We believe that pain is your body’s way of telling you that something is wrong and that it’s time to start listening.
Chiropractic can be both treatment and prevention, but it is not a quick fix. It helps your body to properly heal and this may take time.
Looking after your body and mind is the kindest thing you could do for yourself. Prevention is better than cure – your car gets serviced to ensure it doesn’t break down, your body should be no different.
“If we listen to our body when it whispers, we won’t have to hear it when it screams”.

Dr Ellie Wallace

ABOUT
Chiropractic was part of Ellie’s family life from a very young age. Her Mum suffered with multiple disc problems and her brother was diagnosed with Scoliosis in his teens. Ellie has always had regular Chiropractic check-ups, but it wasn’t until she started working more closely with a Chiropractor that she discovered first-hand the importance of full spine Chiropractic care. She uncovered that the migraines she had been suffering with for almost a decade were the result of multiple horse-riding accidents. This experience helped shape Ellie’s career and how she examines and treats her patients. She loves helping people discover just how many benefits there are to Chiropractic care.
EXPERIENCE
Since graduating, Ellie has continuously perfected and advanced her learning well beyond her degree. She has practised in many different clinics along the M4 corridor from Bristol to London, each time gaining new experiences and expertise.

Ellie has mentored with some of the top names in her field from the UK, America, Canada and New Zealand. She has helped thousands of people so far ranging from children to the elderly, office workers to top athletes.

Since then she has practised as an associate in many extremely successful practices in the UK and abroad, gaining a vast array of knowledge and experience along the way. Ellie is trained in Spinal Manipulative Therapy, Sacro-Occipital Technique, Medical Acupuncture (Dry Needling), exercise rehabilitation.
