Gary Blackwood
Doctor of Chiropractic
Deep into a demanding corporate career, I faced a pivotal life moment.
Struggling with relentless neck pain, I discovered the
transformative power of chiropractic care.
This experience didn't just alleviate my discomfort; it ignited a passion.
Within four months, I chose to leave my well-paid job in the City, to pursue chiropractic studies with a vision to heal others.
In 2013, this journey culminated in a bold decision, having relocated to Edinburgh, I acquired a chiropractic practice.
Today, you'll find us at White Tree Chiropractic in Edinburgh's West End, on Chester Street.
Reviews
Our Patient Feedback
I arrived having had many occupancies of bending over and this causing pain on one side of my back, effecting my ability to walk or bend down.
He took the time to properly understand my issues, describe my options, explain the process and then carry it out. He has also offered a range of exercises and general things to consider to maintain my back strength.
I’ve noticed much better mobility in my back since the beginning of the session block.
I took to Gary as soon as I arrived at the office. A very calm and reassuring man who obviously knows his trade. He sat me down, asked me what was wrong-getting as much detail as possible too build up an accurate picture. He then did an initial assessment and scan before coming up with a plan that he explained very clearly and concisely.
I have now been getting treatment twice a week for a few months now and what a difference!! At one point I was struggling to walk and had to be signed off work and now I am pain free-a sensation I haven't felt for a long, long time!! And I can only see things continuing on this trend!
The one thing above all that will keep me going back to Gary is Gary himself! He is the very definition of a gentleman! Even when I had issues in my personal life Gary was extremely accommodating in moving appoints around to take stress away from me.
5 stars no doubt!!
Thanks to the care and support, my back pain has improved significantly, and I am feeling much better. Dr.Gary created a welcoming environment, and I always felt comfortable and well looked after during my appointments.
I would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking effective and professional treatment. Thank you for your excellent care.
My daughters and I have been under Gary‘s care and I can highly recommend Whitetree Chiropractic.
