Registered chiropractors · London
First we listen.Then we look at alignment.
Şakul, Turkish for plumb line, is a small chiropractic clinic in London. Our chiropractors are registered with the General Chiropractic Council, every first visit starts with an assessment, and our care sits alongside your medical treatment, never in its place.

C1Approach
As clear as a plumb line: who, where and how.
In the UK, only practitioners registered with the General Chiropractic Council may call themselves chiropractors. We explain the process instead of praising the method.
Assessment before treatment
Treatment begins only if the assessment shows it suits you. If not, we say so and suggest who to see.
Information, not promises
No promised results or set number of sessions; just what will be done and what you may feel.

Posture, movement and a physical examination of the region that concerns you.

Plan and consent
If suitable, the plan and its complementary role are explained and your consent is asked.
L1Session
How a session runs
Session length and frequency are agreed with your chiropractor after the assessment. This is the general flow.
Wear comfortable, flexible clothes. Tell your chiropractor if anything has changed since your last visit.
Each movement is explained before it happens. Joints may make a sound; you can ask to stop at any moment.
Mild soreness for a day or two can occur. If anything feels unusual, call us and your GP.
Chiropractic care does not replace the treatment your doctor recommends; it sits alongside it.
We explain this at your first visit too. Do not stop medicines or treatment without your doctor.

L5FAQ
Common questions
Not answered here? Call us; the first call needs no health details.
Who can call themselves a chiropractor?
Only practitioners registered with the General Chiropractic Council. Our registration numbers are shown on this page and can be checked on the GCC register.
How many sessions will I need?
It differs from person to person, so we do not say at the start. Number and spacing are agreed after the assessment and reviewed as you go.
When may chiropractic not be suitable?
Certain bone or blood vessel conditions, recent injuries or operations and nerve related signs can rule treatment out. Your chiropractor decides at the assessment.
Do I need to stop my current treatment?
No. Chiropractic care is complementary and does not replace what your doctor recommends. Do not change medicines without speaking to your doctor.
What will I feel during treatment?
Pressure, and sometimes a sound from the joints. Every movement is explained first, and treatment stops whenever you ask.
Should I describe my health problem in the form?
No. Name, phone and preferred time are enough; health details are discussed in person.
