A CHIROPRACTIC clinic has been recognised with an award for the fourth year running.

Acorn Heath, based in Amesbury, was given the highly-regarded Patient Partnership Quality Mark (PPQM) from the Royal College of Chiropractors during a bi-annual awards ceremony.

The PPQM is an award presented to clinics that excel in various aspects, including accessibility, cleanliness, safety, patient communication, record keeping and patient education.

The decision to award the Quality Marks is made following a lengthy assessment process by a panel of patients and public who form the Royal College of Chiropractor’s Lay Partnership Group.

Philippa Oakley, principal chiropractor and owner of Acorn Health, is no stranger to winning awards as she was crowned 'Chiropractor of the Year' in 2022.

She said: "We are thrilled to have been recognised by the Royal College of Chiropractors for the fourth time. To have held these awards every year since the clinic was established back in 2014 is not only a huge achievement for our small business, but also demonstrates our dedication to our patients year after year.

"We pride ourselves on providing rapid-access to hands on care and our patients consistently see incredible results from the care we offer. We’ve worked hard to ensure we deliver excellence on all aspects of patient care and this award recognises that commitment.”

Based at Unit 3 Stonehenge Walk in Amesbury, Acorn Health offers specialist hands-on care for people of all ages and can help with a wide range of conditions including back pain, neck pain, sciatica and migraines.

Philippa added: "Our treatment is always tailored to you, and we work closely with you to achieve whichever end goal you are seeking- be this reduced pain, improved sporting performance, or simply being able to enjoy life with your family. Our focus is on providing effective relief and empowering you with the tools you need to prevent future issues.”

Acorn Health is opening a second clinic site in central Wilton in spring 2024.
