Who am I?
Luke Christopher Monaghan (DC) MChiro LRCC
I was born and raised in Southport, I completed a masters in chiropractic at the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic, since then I have practiced in both the Wirral and Blackpool where I gained a plethora of experience and have taken a keen interest in pain science. Growing up I played rugby union for Southport RUFC and represented Ireland at U19 level in rugby league.
What makes me different?
My practice is based around the latest research and evidence base to provide the most up to date musculoskeletal health care. This consists of providing treatment through manual therapy including mobilisation, manipulation, soft tissue therapy; exercise based rehabilitation, and helping you understand your pain through providing education and advice.
What can I help with?
I can help with a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to:
On your first visit, a thorough case history of your symptoms, general health and concerns will be taken. Following this, once consented to, an examination will occur which may include assessing your movement, through palpation of joints, the spine and muscles. Assessment of your muscular strength, reflexes, blood pressure and appropriate orthopaedic and neurological tests.
Following this you will receive an oral report of findings, to explain and discuss your diagnosis. If further investigations are required you may be referred to your GP. Following this treatment options will be discussed to help you achieve your goals, these may include spinal manipulation, joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy and exercise.
Usually you will receive treatment on your first visit, this will be tailored to your individual needs and goals.

It's important to discuss any concerns or pre-existing health conditions with your chiropractor before starting treatment to ensure it's appropriate for you.
