Meet Our Newcastle Clinic Team

 

Meet Our Team

For more than 30 years, we’ve had the privilege of helping people across Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and the surrounding areas with problems affecting movement, comfort and everyday life.

What many patients tell us they value most isn’t just the treatment itself, but the relationships they build with our team along the way. We take pride in getting to know our patients, understanding their goals and supporting them throughout their journey, whether they’re recovering from an injury, managing a long-standing problem or simply trying to stay active and independent.

Our chiropractors, therapists and support team work closely together to ensure every patient feels welcomed, listened to and supported from their very first visit.

Many of our patients have been visiting the clinic for years and we’ve been fortunate to support people through different stages of life. We’ve cared for multiple generations of local families, and many new patients still come to us through recommendations from friends, family and colleagues.

Seeing patients regain confidence, return to activities they enjoy and achieve goals that matter to them remains one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.

Note: The use of “Dr” is a courtesy title and NONE of the Chiropractors listed on this site, unless stated otherwise, have a general medical qualification. All have accredited Chiropractic qualifications and must be registered with the GCC to call themselves a Chiropractor.

 

Meet Our Trusted Newcastle and Stoke Chiropractors

More Than Just Appointments….

Over the years we’ve been fortunate to build lasting relationships with patients across Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme. Many people first visit us because of pain or injury, but often stay connected with the clinic because they value the support, guidance and familiarity they receive from our team.

We’ve helped patients through different stages of life, supported families across generations and celebrated countless milestones along the way. Seeing people return to the activities they enjoy and regain confidence in their movement remains one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your chiropractors properly qualified and registered?

Yes. Every chiropractor at the clinic is registered with the General Chiropractic Council, which is a legal requirement to practise in the UK. This means they’ve completed recognised training and follow strict standards of safe, ethical care. You’re welcome to ask about a practitioner’s background and experience when you visit.

Will I see the same chiropractor at every appointment?

Wherever possible, you’ll be looked after by the same chiropractor throughout your care so they can build a proper picture of how you’re progressing. Occasionally, for holiday cover or a specific reason, another member of the team may see you, and you’ll always be kept informed if that’s the case.

Do you only see patients from Newcastle under Lyme?

Not at all. While many of our patients are local to Newcastle under Lyme, we also welcome people from further afield including Stoke on Trent, Kidsgrove, Silverdale, Wolstanton and the surrounding villages. Our team have experience helping patients from right across North Staffordshire.

What experience does the team have with different types of injuries?

Between them, our chiropractors have experience with a wide range of everyday musculoskeletal issues, from general back and neck discomfort to problems linked to posture, work or sport. They can talk you through their approach and what may help with your particular situation during an assessment, rather than offering a one size fits all answer.

Is there a chiropractor closer to Stoke on Trent if that's easier for me?

The team at Newcastle Chiropractic Clinic are easily reached from most parts of Stoke on Trent. We do have a clinic located in the centre of Stoke called City Chiropractic. This clinic is staffed by chiropractors with the same registration and standard of care. Either clinic is a good option, so it really comes down to whichever location suits your journey best.

What happens when I first meet the chiropractor?

Your first meeting is really about getting to know you. The chiropractor will ask about your symptoms, general health and lifestyle, then carry out a physical assessment to understand what might be going on. From there, they’ll explain their findings in plain English and talk through whether chiropractic care may help, so you can decide together what happens next.

Dr Robert Finn

Chiropractor
I qualified as a chiropractor over 30 years ago from the Anglo European College of Chiropractors (the oldest and largest chiropractic college in Europe).

I am very passionate about chiropractic and helping patients reach their health goals. Having treated and helped thousands of patients with their musculoskeletal problems ranging from neck, back, sports injuries over the years, I decided to advance to more complicated neurological or severe conditions such as migraines and headache, dizziness/vertigo (related to neck problems), nervous system problems.

In January 2018, I passed my Clinical Neuroscience exams and I am now the only Board Certified #Chiropractic #Neurologist in the Midlands. Out of 3200 chiropractors in the UK, there are fewer than 20 Neurology Diplomates who have achieved this.

This area of science is absolutely fascinating and it fits in extremely well with the ethos of chiropractic that we treat the whole body and allow it to repair itself without pharmaceutical or surgical intervention (until absolutely necessary). I have spent hundreds of hours learning about stimulating the brain to try and address a dysfuntion. I really enjoy treating patients with more complex problems and always appreciate referrals.

When I am not spending time reading and studying, I enjoy spending time with my lovely girls, playing tennis, walking, astronomy and pondering about the "bigger picture".

Dr. Mohamad Kammouh

Chiropractor
I joined the team at Newcastle and Stoke in 2017. I completed my Masters in Chiropractic in 2014 and worked in a number of clinics in Australia. I sat my test of competence exam (an exam that the GCC require foreign (ie non-EEA) chiropractors to take before they can be called chiropractors) in order that I could practice in the UK. In Australia, I also taught anatomy to medical students at Sydney and Macquarie Universities.

I discovered chiropractic when I sustained an injury whilst working as a firefighter and as a chiropractor, I have a special interest in neurology, sports injuries and chronic pain management. I also really enjoy treating shoulder problems!

I work both in the Newcastle and Stoke clinic with most of my time being spent in the Stoke clinic.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending quality time with my wife and son and exploring the UK and Europe.

Dr Burcu Cetinkaya

Chiropractor
I studied a Masters in Chiropractic in Turkey but first qualified in physiotherapy and worked with patients who suffered from orthopaedic and neurological conditions. My Masters' thesis focused on **neck treatment** for office workers who work in front of a screen all day and consequently suffer from neck pain which a lot of our patients can relate to.

I am registered with the GCC and is a member of of the British Chiropractic Association and work in both Stoke and Newcastle clinics.

Dr Kirk

Chiropractor
My career has been built on a foundation of diverse experiences. I moved from South Africa to England in 2002, and my two-year service mission in the USA taught me the profound value of helping others—a principle that guides my work today.

My journey to becoming a chiropractor was unconventional: for five years, I balanced studying for my Master’s at McTimoney Chiropractic College with driving a Class 1 articulated lorry. This period taught me discipline and the importance of building a strong foundation, both in vehicles and the human body.

My approach is deeply influenced by 15 years on the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu mats, which provides a real-world lens on biomechanics and recovery, further supported by my Sports Massage qualification. I believe in proactive, holistic health. When I'm not in the clinic, you’ll find me recharging outdoors on a hike or enjoying life with my wife and daughters.

Suzanne Rowland

Sports Massage Therapist
I am a qualified Sport Therapist. Since qualifying I have mostly worked with patients to provide Sport massage, however I also provide manual therapy Kinesio taping and exercise rehabilitation.

I came to Sports Therapy after 8 years working within medical research and deciding i wanted a change to more hands-on patient care. I love my job and particularly enjoy helping patients become more comfortable and active.

My sport is horse riding and I have an 8 year old horse. We enjoy going out jumping together and are building up our confidence over some bigger fences.

Chloe Parkes

Sports Massage Therapist
I have always had an interest in the body and how we can self help pain and dysfunction from as early on as being a child, massaging away my mums tension headaches.

In my teens, I completed my BTEC level 3 in Health Sciences and also studied Physiotherapy for a short time, unfortunately this wasn't my desired path.

After the birth of my beautiful daughter, I pursued my career in Sport Massage, training in my level 3 and 4, and have since worked in chiropractic clinics over the last 4 years. In addition to sports massage, I also have qualifications in Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage and Pregnancy Massage which are both lovely treatments to deliver. And now, I am studying a 5 year, Part Time, Masters in Chiropractic with Mctimoney Chiropractic College.

I am a practical, hands on individual and therefore love the the kind of work I do, especially in helping patients in their functional and wellness journey, it's extremely rewarding.

Outside of work, I'm all about family, I love spending time and making memories with my loved ones. I also enjoy fitness, in the variety of pilates, spinning, HIIT and strength training to name a few. And like many, I love holidaying in the sun whenever the opportunity presents.

I'm a big believer in chiropractic and massage therapy as a way of life and enjoy sharing this passion with all our lovely patients long-standing and new to our care.

Andreea Seni

Sports Therapist
I have always been interested in sports rehabilitation, a passion that began during my time as a member of the Romanian National Boxing Team. I practiced boxing for more than seven years, during which I competed in numerous competitions, becoming a five-time national champion in the junior and youth categories. Additionally, I represented Romania at both the World and European Championships.

During my time on the national team, I was regularly exposed to various rehabilitation techniques, including sports massages, sauna therapy, and other methods essential for athlete recovery. This early exposure fuelled my interest in sports rehabilitation.

I attended a sports high school, where I focused on honing my skills. Later, I moved to the UK to pursue higher education. I completed a two-year Foundation Degree in Sports Massage and Remedial Therapy at Level 5, followed by a top-up Bachelor's Degree in Sports Therapy.

During my time at university, I gained practical experience working as a sports therapist at a clinic in Birmingham, collaborating with various professionals. I also engaged in extensive voluntary work, spending an entire summer at Stafford Town Football Club and participating in major events such as the London Marathon, a Jiu-Jitsu championship, and the Cure Leukaemia initiative.

I remain physically active, continuing to train as a boxer, while also enjoying weightlifting and running. I thrive on setting challenges for myself and am always eager to achieve them.

Ne'ema Bowen

Practice Manager
I've been part of the team at Newcastle & City Chiropractic Clinics for over 15 years, and as Practice Manager, one of the most important parts of my role is making sure that every patient feels welcome, listened to and well cared for from the moment they first contact us.

Working alongside our wonderful teams in Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme, I help ensure that our clinics run smoothly while maintaining the friendly, relaxed but professional atmosphere that has always been so important to us. No matter how busy the day may be, we want every individual who comes through our doors to feel that they have our full attention.

Before joining the clinics, I trained and worked as a lawyer, and I've been able to bring many of those skills into my role as Practice Manager. Clear communication, attention to detail and problem-solving are all essential when managing two busy healthcare clinics, but perhaps most importantly, my legal background taught me the value of listening carefully and understanding the individual in front of you.

Over the years, it has been incredibly rewarding to see so many patients improve and get back to doing the things they enjoy. I also understand personally how debilitating back and neck pain can be, having experienced it myself, and I've seen the benefits of chiropractic care within my own family too.

I'm a strong believer in looking at the bigger picture when it comes to health. I value not only the care our practitioners provide, but also the exercise, nutritional and lifestyle advice they give to help our patients look after themselves beyond the treatment room.

Outside the clinics, family life keeps me busy, but I love to exercise whenever I can. I also enjoy tennis, gardening, reading and learning about wine — although there is always more to learn on that last one!

After more than 15 years at the clinics, what I enjoy most is still the people. I want every patient who contacts us or walks through our doors to feel genuinely welcomed, cared for and confident that they're in good hands!

Sam

Chiropractic Assistant
Growing up I was a competitive swimmer but I sustained an extensive shoulder injury, which ended my swimming career when I was 18. However, this was the time my passion for health, wellbeing and rehabilitation grew. I gained a vast knowledge and gained a BTEC Diploma in Sport and Exercise science, anatomy, psychology and physiology.

I came across Chiropractic care and it blew me away, so I had to be part of it! Being a Chiropractic Assistant is very rewarding. It is great to see the patients journey, from pain phase through to wellness and maintenance.

Over the years, I have received regular Chiropractic treatments and massage- to keep me at my best! Including after having my daughter.

In my spare time, I enjoy: walking and hiking with my husband, daughter and dogs. I love sketching and all things arty. I am also an avid and regular guest at theme parks!

Lois

Chiropractic Assistant
I love being part of the clinic team and getting to meet all our lovely patients. I’m always happy to have a chat, get to know people and help everyone feel welcome and comfortable from the moment they walk through the door.

Chiropractic has been part of my life for quite a while. My son and I, along with several others of my family, have all benefited from Chiropractic care, so I have seen first hand the difference it can make. It’s great to be part of a team where I can help others receive the same positive experience.

Outside of work, my two-year-old son definitely keeps me busy! Most of my time is spent with him and my partner, and while I don’t have much time for hobbies these days, I absolutely love being a mum and wouldn’t have it any other way!
