Beth Rawlings MChiro MBCA DC
Chiropractor, Beth Rawlings, joined Worcester Chiropractic Clinic in August 2017. Prior to this, Beth had been practising in Bournemouth for four years. Beth is a graduate of the Anglo-European College of Chiropractors (AECC).
During her time in practice, Beth has accrued a number of post-graduate qualifications. She has achieved accreditation in dry-needling, sports taping, dynamic neuromuscular stabilisation and others.
To have achieved so much in such a short space of time is a fitting testament to the attitude and enthusiasm that Beth applies to her work.
Among Beth’s clinical interests is the treatment of pregnant and paediatric patients. The care of children in particular is a very specialist remit and we are very lucky to have such a safe pair of hands as Beth’s at Worcester Chiropractic Clinic.
Beth has completed a high level of post-graduate study in the care of pregnant patients and is something of an authority on the subject in Worcestershire, working with numerous maternity practitioners.
Beth is also a registered trainer with the Royal College of Chiropractors, providing post-graduate training and mentoring to other chiropractors.
Andy Powell MChiro DC
Chiropractor Andy Powell is the newest member of our team, having joined Worcester Chiropractic Clinic in 2019.
After injuring his lower back whilst deadlifting, Andy had treatment from a chiropractor who managed to fix his problem.
Andy was so impressed by this experience that he embarked on a five year Masters’ degree at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic.
After graduating, Andy worked at a multi-disciplinary clinic, practicing alongside podiatrists, radiographers and musculoskeletal specialists. This has given Andy fantastic exposure to the full spectrum of cases a chiropractor can expect to see.
Andy has also spent time leading a golf performance optimisation programme, helping golfers of all levels to avoid injury and enhance their game.
While Andy has experience treating a wide range of patients, he is hoping to build on his sports and rehabilitation expertise, and has a particular interest in disorders of the shoulder.

Melissa Bird MChiro DC
Champion power-lifter, Mel, joined Worcester Chiropractic Clinic in 2024, having worked in two clinics previously in Cheltenham and Stow.
She completed her five-year degree at the Anglo-European Chiropractic College in Bournemouth, graduating with a Masters in Chiropractic.
In addition to this, Mel has completed additional post-graduate training with the Royal College of Chiropractors. She also has qualifications in sports-massage and dry-needling.
A central tenet of Mel’s approach to chiropractic is her desire to educate her patients. She believes that helping people understand their body will aid in prevention or recurrence of problems.
Drawing on her sporting background, Mel is very adept at providing challenging but achievable rehabilitation exercises. This really helps cement the benefits of chiropractic care.
Away from chiropractic, Mel is a keen baker and enjoys rural dog-walks.

Geoff Long BSc MBCA MRCC DC
Please note, Geoff has now retired as a chiropractor and is no longer working.
Geoff is the longest serving chiropractor here at Worcester Chiropractic Clinic; he has been with us now for twenty five years. The level of experience Geoff offers is a real asset to the practice.
As well as having been awarded Doctor of Chiropractic status, Geoff has also conducted research into clinical imaging and has accrued several post-graduate qualifications in topics including nutrition, sacro-occipital technique, and the use of foot orthotics.
Geoff is very well respected amongst the medical community and has an excellent relationship with local surgeons and physiotherapists, who are happy to refer complex cases to him for assessment.
Patients soon come to realise that Geoff’s personality is a world away from the dour, professional reserve one might expect from a healthcare professional. A true character, his warm smile and quick wit bring a very special atmosphere to the clinic.
In his spare time Geoff likes to get out around the Malvern Hills on his motorbike, or take to the Tewkesbury fishing lakes, as well as being a keen photographer.
Please note that Geoff is retiring on 31st December 2021.
