Active Health Chiropractic

What Active Health Chiropractic does

Active Health Chiropractic is a privately held, family-run chiropractic clinic operating from a single location at 86 Northern Road, Cosham, Portsmouth, United Kingdom, founded in its current form when principal chiropractor Dr Peter Coote took over the practice in July 2006 and relocated to larger premises in Cosham in 2008. The clinic delivers musculoskeletal care — primarily spinal adjustments and adjunctive therapies — to a broad demographic ranging from newborns (as young as two weeks old) to centenarians (the oldest patient is 100), with stated specialities in back pain, neck pain, headaches, hip and knee problems, leg pain, shoulder blade pain, and nerve-related symptoms including whiplash and sports injuries. Treatment is delivered by a team of five chiropractors, supported by five receptionists and a massage therapist, using a diversified technique set that includes spinal manipulation, dry needling (medical acupuncture), the activator method, blocks, and soft tissue work.

The clinic's technical footprint centres on an on-site digital X-ray suite, which the company identifies as a differentiator relative to nearby competitors and which enables immediate diagnostic imaging during the initial consultation. Patients access the practice either through a self-serve online booking system built on the third-party Cliniko platform or by phone and email; the website also functions as a content marketing channel with educational material on sleep posture, lifting, holiday advice, and golf-related musculoskeletal health. The clinic is open six days a week with extended weekday hours (Monday-Friday 8:30am-7:30pm, Saturday 8:30am-5:00pm) and is the only physical site.

The revenue model is purely transactional and pay-as-you-go. The standard price ladder is a £25 promotional initial consultation (including examination and X-rays if needed, normally £50), £45 for a first visit that includes treatment, and £35 for subsequent treatment visits. Maintenance appointments and reassessments provide a recurring touchpoint, and a corporate spinal screening service is offered as a B2B add-on. There are no subscription contracts, no external investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding rounds; ownership rests with the operating principals, consistent with a bootstrapped small healthcare services business.
