Kerri Elston Doherty, BA(Hons), DC


Kerri graduated in 1999 from Life Chiropractic College West in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Over 19 years, she has developed her skills through countless hours of post-graduate education, working in several UK practices as a locum, caring for West End performers on touring productions, and holding an executive role with the United Chiropractic Association since 2012.

“Whether you are a working parent, active grandparent, self-employed worker, young athlete or growing child, we all need our bodies working at their best. My aim is to help you uncover how you were designed to be – a wonderfully active, healthy human – so you can live the life that YOU choose!”

 

As a mum, and wife of a performer, Kerri can appreciate ‘busy people’! Her focus is on helping people get back on track and stay healthy in the most straightforward and fun way possible.

How does a Canadian end up in the Northeast of England?


I made the decision to be a chiropractor in a week.

Yes. One. Week.

It meant 5 more years of graduate school – lots of study, hours of training, and many, many more exams. And it meant doing something I absolutely love for over the past two decades.

I’ve always had a talent for seeing patterns – in nature, in maths, in people. And, yet, no two patterns have ever been the same to me. I have a gift for looking at situations from many perspectives at the same time. Some people call that “problem solving”.

But are you a “problem”? Do you need “solving”? Or are you simply trying to be you?

So what’s this got to do with being a chiropractor? My approach is gentle, precise and thorough. More than just bones, sinews and muscle, I see people as unique physical, chemical and emotional living systems. Whatever may not be working properly will be both affecting, and affected by, other parts. My role is to help identify what that interference might be, so people can tap into their greatest strengths.

For me, Chiropractic is about being completely and fully alive – the brain and the body, working in coordination, the way we are all designed to be. And I’ve spent the past 25 years proving it every day.

Do I have aches? I’m 51 and have 10-year-old twins – of course I do! Is my health perfect? No one’s is. I still have to meet my body’s needs for good nutrition, adequate sleep, mental challenge, creativity, managing a busy life, family and practice – and chocolate cake.

What are your needs?

What Clients Say About Me


You don’t use tricky technical language, I understand what you say, you help me recognise when by body is slipping back and I need to see you again. You can adapt your technique to how the patient feels most comfortable and everything is explained along the way. The appointments are not rushed. The work areas are warm comfortable and clean. You have made me feel normal again and helped put aside my worries.
Helen B, East Cramlington.
