The Chiropractors of Oldham Chiropractic and Physiotherapy Clinic
Anthony Lavin BSc, MSc, CCEP
I stumbled upon a chiropractic career by chance. As a teenager I loved playing sport and for a while had my heart set on becoming a professional sportsman. But I was plagued by recurrent injuries. I tried quite a few treatments none with any lasting results until my mum brought me along to a chiropractor. Not only did my injuries clear up but it also opened my eyes as to how the body worked and therefore how to treat it, without the need for drugs or surgery.
I studied at AECC in Bournemouth and have been in private practice in the North West since 2001.
I have maintained my love for sports through playing regularly and also treating a wide variety of athletes from fell runners, to WWE wrestlers to professional cricketers and footballers. I use a combination of manipulation, soft tissue and myofscial techniques including active release technique and dry needling. I recognize the need for rehabilitation of all injuries.
I also get great enjoyment from treating the very young to the very old. I have a special interest in pregnancy and paediatrics with my youngest patient being around 4 weeks old. My oldest patient to date has been 94!
Chiropractic can benefit everyone right across the age spectrum and improvements occur quickly making it a very rewarding career.

My first experience of Chiropractic was at age 11 when I saw a chiropractor for my neck problems. Prior to this my parents had tried a multitude of different approaches with little success. Upon a thorough history and examination, a link was made to the use of a ventouse at birth, which is a form of assisted delivery. The treatment was very effective and was the reason why I decided to become a Doctor of Chiropractic.
Since graduating from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic I have spent a lot of time and effort in attending post graduate seminars to further my knowledge and skills. These include dry needling, extremity adjusting, proprioceptive muscle testing, lifestyle seminars etc. To achieve great results, I believe you have to be able to adapt what you do to the person in front of you.
I have always been active. In my youth, ice-Hockey and skiing as well as football were my main sports. Nowadays, my passion is mainly golf and as a result I have enjoyed working with many golfers and helped to improve their game by making them more flexible, stronger and more agile. Other athletes include footballers, squash and tennis players, rugby players, body builders, swimmers and runners.
However, being a husband and father I very much enjoy working with people of all ages, including children. My youngest patient was my son who I assessed and have worked with since the day he was born, and my oldest patient was in her 90s. I enjoy creating and developing a relationship with a multitude of people who want to improve. Whether that is just to get some relief from their debilitating pain or wanting to perform at their peak level.

I am a Manchester born Chiropractor working back near my home town after completing my Chiropractic degree Bsc at the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic, since then I have also worked along side other health care professionals in Cheshire. I like to see all my patients not only out of pain, but feeling great, moving well and keeping it that way! I use various Chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work and strengthening exercises to achieve the results you want. I have a strong passion for many sports, which became very useful when treating an Olympic athlete, who is now an enthusiastic Chiropractic supporter! I wish to pursue a more extensive knowledge in Sports Chiropractic and paediatrics, whilst treating everything inbetween. So whatever your complaint, and whatever your age, I look forward to working with you towards your recovery.
