Meet Dave – Your Partner in Better Health

Originally from County Durham, Dave’s journey into chiropractic care began after a neck injury sustained during rugby left him unable to work. When conventional treatments failed, it was the care of a local chiropractor that not only helped him recover—but also inspired a new career path. Dave left behind his role as an Automotive Design Engineer and went on to earn his Master’s Degree in Chiropractic in 2012.

Since then, he has practiced in North London and St Albans, and now runs the Wellbeing Chiropractic Health Centre in Northampton alongside his wife. He is registered with the General Chiropractic Council and is a proud member of the United Chiropractic Association, staying committed to the highest standards of care and professional development.

A passionate and experienced martial artist, Dave has practiced a wide range of disciplines—from Karate and Thai Boxing to Kali/Eskrima and Jeet Kune Do. He also completed several Olympic-distance triathlons, reflecting his lifelong dedication to physical fitness and personal growth. These days, he stays active with regular training and a healthy lifestyle, and loves to watch rugby and boxing whenever he gets the chance.

Dave is particularly dedicated to helping people with disc-related issues through IDD spinal decompression therapy, and offers expert guidance on strength-building and posture-improving exercises to support long-term wellbeing.

Known for his friendly, professional, and calm approach, Dave is passionate about helping people of all ages move better, feel stronger, and take control of their health.

Let Dave guide you to a stronger, healthier you.

What Our Patients Say About Us...

Very effective

This practise I can really recommend. Professional, thorough, but most importantly of all, very effective...these lovely people are worth travelling 90mins up the M1 to see....improvement immediate! Thanks guys...

A big thanks to Dave

From consultation to treatment the team at Wellbeing Chiropractic know how, no exaggeration. I wish I'd been going for years. I had severe neck trauma and never thought I'd get rid of the pain, I've just come back from my third session a new person pain free albeit a wee niggle, looking forward to my next appointment. Money well spent. A bit thanks to Dave.

She is professional, highly skilled but fun and positive too.

I've had lower back pain for decades and neck pain in the last few years. Magda has worked miracles in easing or eradicating that pain, educating me to understand my spine and posture and given me practical ways to build strenght were needed. She is professional, highly skilled but fun and positive too. Very highly recommended.

I honestly could not recommend more

I had my first session today with Dave and I honestly could not recommend more. Dave made me feel so comfortable and had a lot of knowledge. He went through everything step by step for what he was about to do next, which definitely put me at ease. I already feel better after 1 session, and have my next session booked for next week. Thank you again Dave and I can highly recommend your services. My other half will be in touch soon:)

My life is my own again!

I started my treatment programme with Magda a few months ago. I was slightly sceptical but, having tried many other options and being in considerable pain, thought I shoulde try chiropractic. Magda is warm and welcoming, and very skillful. Within a few minutes I was impressed with the way she analysed my issues, and got a strong sense that her approach might work. I was also very relaxed and happy to put my care into her hands. The bottom line - it wasn't quick, but I started in a bad way - is that I'm pain free. My life is my own again! I will continue to visit periodically for minor adjustments, but essentially feel 15 years younger! Thank you Magda 🙂

Professional advice and an ongoing treatment programme have vastly improve my quality of life.

I was in alot of neck and back pain prior to visiting Wellbeing Chiropractic and nothing seemed to ease it for long. However, after treatment from Dave, I felt better immediately. Professional advice and an ongoing treatment programme has vastly improved my quality of life and I have continued to use the Wellbeing Chiropractic ever since; highly recommend!

Amazing results! Thanks again!:)

I have just finished 12 sessions with Magda and can feel a MASSIVE difference. I initially visited with lower back/ rib pain and now I am pain fee! Amazing results!I will continue to visit monthly. Every session is welcoming and full of positivity. I have visited other Chiropractors but these guys are by far my favourite. Couldn't recommend them enough! Thanks again!:)

I'm so glad I took a chance and booked my first session.

I was absolutely terrified when I first went in to see Dave in relation to jaw issues I was having. He is brilliant at what he does. Both Dave and Magda are always kind and welcoming and it's clear they both know exactly what they are doing. The treatment I have received has changed my life and I'm so glad I took a chance and booked my first session.

Thank you for all your help

Thank you for all your help in the improvement of my wellbeing. The sessions with you helped me: 1) Critically reflect on the treatment I was having/ not having to relieve me of the acute pain I was experiencing. 2) Consider and implement conversations with appropriate professionals to apply a 'joined-up' thinking to my needs. 3) Get authorisation from my GP for an X-ray and MRI. 4) Get a degree of relief to the aches and pains associated with my skeletal issues through your treatment. 5) Improve my health and enhance my sense of wellbeing

Thanks so much Dave!

Wellbeing Chiropractic has made a massive difference to my posture in just a few weeks and my pain is now so much better. In the initial session Dave explained the problems using skeleton dummy so I could clearly see the issues and how it has been getting worse over time. Each week he is very welcoming and instantly puts me at ease, I really like how he explains what he is finding and the manoeuvre he is about to do so there are no surprises. He has also provided various exercises to carry on at home to help aid the re-ajustments. I really look forward to the sessions and get such a relief I feel like I float out each week. Thanks so much Dave!

Five star!

Been going to Wellbeing Chiropractic for about 5 months and has made a huge difference to my back, neck and knees. Dave is welcoming and explains things in a way that is easy to understand. Can't recommend them enough!! FIVE STAR!

I just like coming here...

Tim: I don't remember having such a good run for the past 40 years with no back pain...
Chris: I just like coming here..

I feel generally much better with myself

When I came to you I didn't think I would get so much progress I couldn't climb the stairs or walk far .....I feel generally much better with myself, I can climb the stairs and walk further thanks to chiropractic.

Since coming to see Magda I don't need to use any painkillers

Since coming to see Magda I don't need to use any painkillers or heat pads, I still carry some pills in my handbag just in case but I just give it away to my friends, whenever they need it.

I am really impressed with Magda's services, knowledge and capability

I am really impressed with Magda's service, knowledge and capability...My experience goes like this..I went to Magda with some poor alignment issues in my shoulder and pelvis I have also lived with some nagging pain in these areas for 2 to 3 years...so I underwent the full assessment with 12 adjustments sessions and a review at the end. I also see Magda every month now. I am so happy with the work that she has done on my pelvis and spinal alignment....I can feel the freedom in movement in the areas, I suffer with very little pain now and my body lets me know when it's time to see Magda again as little niggles begin. I also have some pain with my kneecap and elbow and she quickly treats all areas in the time we have, also find Magda very informative about overall health issues....I look forward to my appointments very much.

Saw Dave after injuring my back...

Saw Dave after injuring my back, he was able to thoroughly assess my problem, explaining clearly what the issue was and treated me. I am now out of pain and have a lot more movement than before. I would definitely recommend him.

Would definitely recommend to other people

It was work in progress, which has resulted in better posture, better movement of the neck, and my knee is much improved. Very friendly and nice atmosphere would definitely recommend to other people.

Magda is a lovely lady and absolutely professional.

Magda is a lovely lady and absolutely professional! She helped me to sort out my back problems and terrible wrist pain. I will continue my visits as I don't want to be back to previous state "miserable girl with bad back and wrist "

I would highly recommend Dave

Would highly recommend. Dave makes you feel comfortable and I really like it that he tells you what he is doing and why. I feel like I’ve learnt more than when I was at school!! My back is much better after two sessions but looking forward to a continued progress.

Dave is great

Dave is great, just under half way through my course and already feeling better. Thanks.

I can't recommend Dave highly enough!

I hurt my back three times in one year. It was extremely painful and each time I had to take a week off work to recover. It was after my last injury , that I visited Dave for chiropractic treatments, and I have been pain and injury free ever since. I can't recommend Dave highly enough!

All I can say is THANK YOU

All I can say is FANTASTIC. Magda is very warm & welcoming & knows her stuff. I had ACDF surgery last year but, due to it taking so long to be diagnosed, I'd been in significant pain & was holding myself incorrectly to try & alleviate the pain. I especially did not have a lot of movement in my neck but after seeing Magda the improvement is amazing. All I can say is THANK YOU:)

One word...WOW!

One word...WOW!! You will not find a better Chiropractor in the area!! Magda & Dave are professional, fun, and make the whole experience great. I first visited due to a shoulder pain, but since my first visit I have never felt better. Keep up the good work guys!

A first class service.

Cannot recommend Dave highly enough. Felt 10 years younger after the first session!! Have regained so much flexibility that had been lost through stress. A first class service.

I hardly feel any pain anymore.

I am suffering from scoliosis (resulting in pain and aches especially in the neck and lower back). Ever since I started chiropractic treatment and deep tissue massage with Magda on a regular basis I feel so much better, I hardly feel any pain anymore. Magda sure knows how to find my problem areas and after every session I feel instant relief. Her advice on exercise and her all-round knowledge also make her an excellent therapist. I definitely would like to recommend her to anyone with scoliosis or other neck and back problems. Thank you, Magda! See you soon.

After having a fall from my horse left my back absolutely killing!

After having a fall from my horse it left me rather battered, bruised and my back absolutely killing! Magda soon helped me out and I felt 100 times better just after 2 sessions. I would highly recommend her!

Magda is a consummate professional

Magda is a consummate professional, highly skilled in her own field and aware of a number of other complementary disciplines all of which add up to make her service invaluable to a person suffering from physical difficulties. She has treated me for over a year and her combination of skill and good humour have successfully brought me through a very bad time physically following knee and back surgery.

After one session I could feel the difference

A year ago you would have found it hard to find someone more skeptical about Chiropractors than me. However, after having a baby I was willing to try anything, my back and hips were crippled under the weight of my pregnancy and then carrying an every growing toddler. My husband had been a regular client of Magda and convinced me to give it a try. After one session I could feel the difference, not only did the pain and discomfort in my back subside but also the niggles in my hips and knees eased. Magda is professional, knowledgeable and a willing listener. She puts you at ease quickly and combines both the strength and care needed so that you can really feel the adjustments working. I was shocked by the difference her treatment made, but I am now forever converted! I couldn’t recommend her more highly, particularly to all the skeptics out there.

Magda helps to keep me as well as possible despite Multiple Sclerosis

I believe my weekly sessions with Magda help to keep me as well as possible despite a chronic condition ( Multiple Sclerosis). Her positivity is infectious. She was also able to offer extra support when I suffered a bad back and shortened the length of time I was incapacitated and in pain. Thanks Magda.

My chronic lower back pain has disappeared!

I’ve been receiving regular chiropractic treatment and advice from Magda Bispo for nearly 18 months. She has worked wonders for me. In that time my chronic lower back pain has disappeared, my back overall is much stronger, and I’m able to exercise freely. As a result I’ve never felt better. I would strongly recommend her work!

Ms Bispo has greatly helped reduce my lower back pain and muscle tension!

I’ve been a client of Wellbeing-Chiropractic for over 2 years now and have come to know Ms Bispo very well. She is always consistent, positive, hard working and very thorough in her work – she doesn’t just rely on me to telling her where the pain is, but also does a thorough check herself and adjusts accordingly! Ms Bispo has greatly helped reduce my lower back pain and muscle tension as well as improved my posture through chiropractic and deep tissue massage sessions. I’m very pleased to have met Ms Bispo, so much so that I recommended her to my mother to treat her lower back and neck pain. Within 14 sessions, my mother was able to stand and walk without limping and be more flexible.

I couldn’t recommend Magda highly enough!

I have been seeing Magda now for just over three months and I couldn’t recommend Magda highly enough!!

I used to suffer from continuous lower back pain.

Magda has been treating me for a couple of years now and has made a huge difference to my everyday wellbeing. I used to suffer from continuous lower back pain and with Magda’s chiropractic treatments this is so much better. I throughly recommend Magda and have seen huge benefits of regular adjustments.

Magda is fantastic!

Magda is fantastic. She’s both extremely professional and knowledgeable and also really bubbly, always happy and great fun. She often knows exactly what’s wrong and how to fix it without even having to be asked and she takes great care to make sure that her patients are completely happy with their treatment. I cannot recommend Magda and Wellbeing Chiropractic highly enough.

Very reasonable rates.

Magda is a gem. Positive and cheerful. No matter what I have managed to do to myself I know she can make it the best it can be. See her every month and if she ever goes back to Poland I’m going too! Have recommended her to several friends and will continue to do so. Very reasonable rates.

If you are in pain, don’t put up with it, as Magda can help!

I have been seeing Magda now for almost two years after having some major back problems due to a car accident many years ago. I used to have occasions when I could barely move due to back pain but since seeing Magda regularly, this has not happened for almost two years. It has made life far more manageable and the drug free pain relief is worth every penny. I cannot recommend Magda enough and her bubbly, outgoing personality makes her a pleasure to be around. If you are in pain, don’t put up with it, as Magda can help. Thank you Magda. 🙂

What stands Wellbeing-Chiropratic apart is Magda’s enthusiasm & care for her patients

I’ve currently been seeing Magda of Wellbeing- Chiropractic for 8 months now. I consider myself a fit & healthy young man but had a few niggles that I knew weren’t right, Magda identified a host of problems that was affecting my body & rectified them with greater care than those I’d seen before. I now see Magda monthly so that my body is in the best condition it can be in, Chiropratic is not just for those in chronic pain as I believe prevention is better than the cure. What stands Wellbeing-Chiropratic apart is Magda’s enthusiasm & care for her patients. The knowledge she’s passed to me, to be able to look after my body better is also invaluable.

I suffered from tension headaches and shoulder pain for years

Magda is fantastic. I suffered from tension headaches and shoulder pain for years, improved from the very first session and is now virtually non existent!

I would 100% recommend her!

Having a couple of different problems with my back for some time I thought it was about time I visited a chiropractor to see if it would help or at least make ANY difference. I have to admit I was sequential but it’s made such a difference. Magda was improved my posture helped my body become more flexible and changed my outlook on fitness and she is very knowledgeable on heath fitness and wellbeing. I have seen her approx 14 times and I am convinced she will help me reach my goals one of them to be pain free. I would 100% recommend her!

My quality of life has improved dramatically

Over six months after treatment started, my quality of life has improved dramatically. After chronic back pain caused by injury and poor posture was promising misery in old age, I was lucky to see such professional care from Magda.
