/ Dr. Ivins currently works in private practice providing effective, non-surgical relief for both minor and complex problems. His approach is to find the underlying cause of a presenting condition via analysis of all available medical information and a careful assessment of functional and structural abnormalities. Having achieved this a program of therapy can be designed and implemented to successfully manage a range of disorders to suit each individual given the scope of Chiropractic care.

/ During Dr. Ivins’ career he has had the privilege to receive mentorship and friendship from the late Professor Keith Kancross and Dr. Ronald Flint who provided him with the foundations that still to this day influence the way Dr. Ivins provides treatment.

"It is of absolute necessity for any health professional to fully understand the complexity of a presenting patient's condition and therefore realise how their chosen modality of treatment can affect the outcomes of such conditions without causing harm to the patient. The practitioner in my humble opinion requires to subjugate their ego and serve the patient with integrity, compassion and provide realistic outcomes for the chosen treatment protocol."​
