With two chiropractors on staff, we offer greater accessibility to suit your needs. Plus, you get the added benefit of extra brainpower – especially with difficult cases.

Introducing Devon Chiropractor Dr. Rob Sandford

My Chiropractic story starts in 1978. At the time I was just four months old but Chiropractic literally changed my life.

I was born with a shadow on my lung and after four months of constant chest infection and gastric dysfunction I was being assessed for cystic fibrosis. Fortunately my mother was attending a Chiropractor and after a suggestion from the Chiropractor. My health has never looked back. And I have never looked else where - I decided to become a Chiropractor aged 7! I knew that I wanted to help people improve their health and be a catalyst for change in peoples lives the way my Chiropractor had been for me.

Immediately after leaving school, I enrolled at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic, in Bournemouth - at the time the only full-time Chiropractic college on the UK. I completed the four year degree course, followed by a Masters in Chiropractic, graduating in 2001.

Blue Mountain Family Chiropractic is a wellness Chiropractic office. This means that we are not only interested in getting people well, but also in educating, inspiring and supporting people in maintain their health, vitality and wellness.

I am married to Melissa and we have a son named Noah who was born at home in March 2007. He recieved his first Chirorpactic adjustment after just 90 minutes!

I also have three step-children, all of whom were born naturally and have recieved Chiropractic care throughout their lives. As a family we choose not to utilise medication and none of the children have ever been vaccinated or received an antibiotic. (If that sounds interesting, be sure to ask me to explain!). It is my vision to empower the people of my community to take control of their own health by choosing natural alternatives.

Children make excellent clients. They respond readily to care as they bring no prejudice or scepticism to their appointments. They bring only trust and in turn it is such a delight to see them reaching their fullest potential.

Thank you for visiting our site. I look forward to meeting you in person and being of service to you. If you have any questions, please give our office a call, or email me using the link below.
