Meet the Team
Dr Ellie Wallace
DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC - BSC (HONS)
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. Her hunger for learning and development led her overseas to work in countries such as Vietnam and Thailand, again gaining new skills with every placement. 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.
QUALIFICATIONS
Ellie studied for her 4 year BSc honours degree at the prestigious Welsh Institute of Chiropractic and was awarded the honorary title of Doctor of Chiropractic upon graduating in 2007. 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. She always takes a holistic approach and considers lifestyle factors in her patient’s treatment plans, as she knows that helping her patients make small and achievable changes to their lifestyles can speed up recovery and give longer-lasting results.

The feeling of being cold is high on the list of dislikes for Heather and who strangely is not a keen fan of chocolate!
