The Clinic

Blackfen Chiropractic Clinic started as a result of Ingrid and C.T. approaching the Days Lane Dental Practice about providing chiropractic care in Blackfen and the surrounding areas.

The clinic is situated in a quaint bungalow within Days Lane Dental Practice. Blackfen Chiropractic Clinic opened its doors to patients in January 2012 and it will aim to embed itself within the community.

Our aim is to deliver a caring, professional and effective health care service to our patients. We will continually strive to keep our patients best interest at the core of our practice vision. As part of providing a patient focused service we recognise the need to provide holistic care, for you and your family, to reach optimal well-being through a healthy spine and nervous system. We adopt a natural drug-free approach to health in a relaxing, caring and friendly environment.

We look forward to meeting you and will strive to exceed the expectations you have for a healthier lifestyle.

The Chiropractors

CT Herholdt

After qualifying at the Durban University of Technology in 2003, C.T. travelled to Ireland where he practiced for 2 years. After leaving Ireland, he worked in Middlesbrough for two more years before joining a clinic in Maidstone in 2007. C.T. currently sees patients in his Maidstone clinic and at Blackfen Chiropractic Clinic.

C.T.’s first introduction to chiropractic was as a teenager, when a neck injury from playing rugby forced him to see a chiropractor. It was his first impression of the chiropractic adjustment and the effect that it could have on a person’s health that motivated him to study chiropractic.

Despite enjoying sports and having done work with sports teams in the past, it’s the challenges of a family based practice that C.T. finds more interesting and rewarding.

Since qualifying C.T. has continued to be a keen student of chiropractic and currently he is studying a chiropractic technique called Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT). He hopes to become a Certified SOT practitioner in the next 12 months. C.T. is registered with the General Chiropractic Council ( Registration number: 02456) and is a Member of the British Chiropractic Association. On a personal note, C.T. and his wife enjoy the outdoors and go camping as often as possible. CT is an avid golfer and enjoys watching rugby test matches at Twickenham.
