Mid 20th Century – the legacy begins
Chiropractic in the Blood

My grandfather was among the first Chiropractors in the UK, practising when the profession was in its infancy – instilling a belief in our family that the body heals best when the nervous system is free to function.

Teenage Years – A Personal Turning Point
The Treatment That Changed Everything

As a teenager, my aunt – herself a Chiropractor – helped me overcome chronic back pain and headaches. Experiencing that transformation firsthand was the moment I knew Chiropractic was my calling.

A decade of clinical practice – Oxford
Precision, Purpose & a Patient-First Approach

Today, I bring over a decade of experience in Gonstead Chiropractic to Oxford, along with a continued commitment to developing advanced skills, to every patient at Northwood Chiropractic. My mission remains the same: to identify and address the root cause, not just the symptom.

I’ve been having sessions with Dr Hulme since May and I’m very happy with the results. My lower back pain has now gone, and I’ve noticed a big improvement in my overall mobility and day-to-day life. Before starting treatment, my back problems were stopping me from doing normal activities, working comfortably, and going to the gym. Dr Hulme always takes the time to explain what he’s doing, what he’s adjusting and what to expect, which makes me feel very comfortable and confident in the treatment. I would definitely recommend

I initially went to Northwood Chiropractic because I was experiencing sciatica pain and was also concerned about my posture and a noticeable “tech hump.” Since starting treatment, I haven’t had a sciatica flare-up, and my posture feels noticeably straighter and more natural. What I’ve particularly appreciated is that the treatment hasn’t just been about the adjustments themselves. I was given simple, manageable exercises to do at home to complement the treatment, as well as practical advice on how to improve my desk setup for work and reduce the strain caused by sitting for long periods. The initial consultation was very thorough and informative. Everything was clearly explained, including the areas that needed attention and the proposed treatment. Having an X-ray taken and then having the findings explained to me made the whole process feel much more targeted and gave me a better understanding of what was actually being treated. Overall, I’ve found the treatment really beneficial. The explanations throughout have been clear, the adjustments have been great, and I’ve noticed a genuine improvement in both my sciatica and posture. I’d definitely recommend Northwood Chiropractic to anyone considering chiropractic treatment, particularly if you want to understand what’s being treated rather than simply having adjustments without much explanation.

I can honestly say the professionalism, knowledge and way Stephen explains everything is top notch, with regard the hands on work carried out I feel in extremely safe hands! Being a menopausal woman in my early 50’s I have been experiencing many aches and pains and after expertly tailored sessions I am pain free and eternally grateful for Stephen’s good work!

I have had a few appointments with Steven and even after only the first couple I have felt much less pain, aches and muscle tightness. I leave feeling so much better after years of chronic pain and muscle spasms. I still have a lot of appointments but they are very quick and I feel like I’ve got my life back.

Dr. Steven has been a game changer for me. He actually listens, explains everything clearly, and puts together a treatment plan that works. My back and neck feel better than they have in years. Professional, thorough, and genuinely caring. I can't recommend him enough.

Best decision I ever made! Booking that first appointment and having someone understand, help and plan a program to help you try and rectify years of neglect, was an emotional start to my journey. Seeing the things on my full body xray proved what i had always known, something was very wrong with my spine (but no one really believed me). Being able plan to target those areas that have caused over three decades of issues with twice weekly coŕrections has been amazing, my posture has already improved dramtically and the weekly check ins/corrections will continue. Thank you Steven for guiding my journey.

Steve at Northwood has massively improved my life. When I came to him I was in constant pain and walked with a noticeable limp. I now go on walks without pain and my limp has almost disappeared. It has taken time but the end result has changed my life for the better. He is thorough professional, who will answer any questions or concerns you might have. He also starts the process with X rays, which gives him a clear view of your skeleton. This has to be a huge asset to your treatment. I’m very pleased with the results.

I first started seeing Steven for a frozen shoulder which I have had for over 18 months .I had various treatments elsewhere but they seem to be just quick fixes which didn't work.Steven was very professional and explained how we could work together with adjustments and shoulder and arm exercises.I have so much more movement and less pain but this will be an ongoing issue to completely heal for a number of months.I really would recommend this clinic as Steven will set out a plan from the start and focus on the root cause of the problem to fix it long-term.

You don’t have to be in pain to get checked by a chiropractor.  
The primary purpose of Chiropractic is to check and restore function to your spine and nervous system — not just to treat pain when it arrives.
Think of it like a tooth cavity — it develops long before it causes pain. Spinal misalignments work the same way. Getting checked early means getting ahead of the problem.
Don't wait until it becomes painful. Take control of your health now.
