AN ABERDEEN chiropractic clinic is poised to expand its premises and develop its service offer after securing bank funding worth nearly £250,000.
Riverside Chiropractic Group has grown from a one-person private clinic when it started out in 1986 to an 18-strong team able to treat the full range of musculoskeletal pain and injuries.
It is now aiming to develop its range of specialised natural services, such as sports therapy and acupuncture, in response to growing demand.
The expansion is being funded by a £248,000 commercial mortgage from Barclays and involves the acquisition of a neighbouring premises,
The practice previously diversified in 2013 when it started a geriatric care service for cats and dogs, focused on providing non-pharmaceutical pain relief for joints and muscle aches for ageing pets.
Emma-Louise Emerson, clinical director at Riverside Chiropractic Group, said: “Integrity and honesty are the cornerstone of our company - we want to be the best non-surgical option for people with musculoskeletal aches and pains across Scotland.
“As we treat a variety of clients, from children and pregnant women to sports injuries and animals, expanding the capacity of the business became a priority as our waiting lists were reaching an all-time high. When the opportunity arose to purchase the neighbouring premises, it was the perfect solution.”
Stuart Brown, head of SME Scotland, at Barclays, described Riverside Chiropractic Group as a “great example of a growth business”, adding that it is well known in the north east for the services it provides.
