McTimoney Chiropractor in Haywards Heath
Looking for a McTimoney chiropractor near Haywards Heath? Clinic at Borde Hill offers McTimoney chiropractic at Naldred Farm Offices on Borde Hill Lane, with free on-site parking and disabled access. Two chiropractors practise here — Tony Dawson and Jacob Nowinski — and both are qualified in the McTimoney technique.
McTimoney chiropractic is a hands-on approach to the spine, joints and soft tissue. People most commonly consult a chiropractor about back pain, mechanical neck pain and other musculoskeletal complaints. Chiropractic is one of several therapies under this roof, so if it turns out not to be the right fit, there is somewhere sensible to send you. To book, call 01444 616797 or send us a message.
What is McTimoney chiropractic?
McTimoney chiropractic treatment uses hands-on manipulation of the spine, joints and soft tissue. What sets the McTimoney technique apart is how it is applied: adjustments are light, quick and precise rather than forceful. That is why people searching for a McTimoney chiropractor near them are often people who have been put off by the idea of heavier manipulation, or who want something less vigorous than they have had before.
An appointment is an assessment first. Your chiropractor will ask about your symptoms, your history and how you move, sit and work, and will explain what they have found and what they suggest before any hands-on work begins. The aim is to understand what is contributing to the problem, not only where it hurts. If anything about the plan is unclear, say so — nothing here happens without it being explained first.
Chiropractic here is complementary care. It is intended to sit alongside — not replace — advice or treatment from your GP or hospital consultant, and your chiropractor will tell you plainly if what you describe belongs with someone else.
We also offer osteopathy at the clinic. If you are not sure which of the two suits you, read our note on the difference between an osteopath and a chiropractor, or simply call and ask — our practitioners are happy to point you to the right starting point.
Common reasons people consult our chiropractors
People come to Clinic at Borde Hill about a wide range of musculoskeletal complaints, including:
- Back pain and backache
- Sciatica
- Mechanical neck pain
- Headache arising from the neck
- Migraine prevention
- Shoulder pain and shoulder complaints
- Hip and knee joint pain, including pain associated with osteoarthritis
- Minor sports injuries
- Ankle sprains

- Cramp and general aches and pains
Back pain and sciatica are the reasons we are asked about most often. Whether it is a long-standing ache, a flare-up after lifting something awkwardly, or stiffness that has crept up over months at a desk, the starting point is the same assessment — and if a chiropractor is not the right person for it, we will say so.
Chiropractic fees and appointment times
| Practitioner | Appointment | Duration | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tony Dawson | Initial consultation | 1.5 hours | £90 |
| Tony Dawson | Follow-up session | 45 minutes | £60 |
| Jacob Nowinski | Initial consultation | 1.5 hours | £90 |
| Jacob Nowinski | Follow-up session | 45 minutes | £60 |
Fees are the same whichever of the two you see, so you can book on availability rather than price. The initial consultation is the longer appointment because it covers the full history and assessment as well as any treatment given on the day.

Regulation and accreditation
Chiropractic is a statutorily regulated profession in the United Kingdom. Only practitioners registered with the General Chiropractic Council may use the title “chiropractor”, and that register is the first thing worth checking about any chiropractor you are considering — ours included. Clinic at Borde Hill displays its General Chiropractic Council registration alongside its PPQM 2024–2026 practice accreditation.
Whoever you see, tell them your full medical history, including any medication you take and any treatment you are having elsewhere. It matters to the assessment, and it is the sort of thing people forget to mention.

Chiropractic across Mid Sussex
Haywards Heath, Cuckfield, Lindfield and Burgess Hill
Alongside Haywards Heath, we regularly see chiropractic patients travelling in from Cuckfield, Lindfield and Burgess Hill — each a short drive, with free parking at the end of it rather than a hunt for a town-centre space. If you are coming from any of the three, the clinic is on Borde Hill Lane rather than in the town centre, so allow a couple of minutes more than the map suggests.
East Grinstead and Horsham
We also see patients from further across the county, including East Grinstead and Horsham. Both are an easy drive to Borde Hill Lane, and there is no charge for parking once you arrive — worth knowing if you are weighing a chiropractic appointment here against one closer to home.
