She holds full Professional Indemnity and Medical Malpractice insurance.Jackie has her own human and animal chiropractic clinics. Within her human clinics, she particularly enjoys working with patients that are looking for treatment to help them with the recovery of acute and chronic sports injuries; as a rider, runner and snowboarder herself, Jackie has an in-depth understanding of the requirements that these sports place upon the body and the rehabilitative techniques needed to restore optimal body function. She tends to treat people, dogs and cats at her own premises and is able to visit horses and other farm animals across Sussex, Hampshire and Surrey, although other areas can be considered upon request.

Chiropractors use manual techniques to manipulate specific joints and muscles to eliminate restrictions in mobility that may be causing back, neck, pelvic and musculoskeletal problems and restore optimal neural function. There are a number of different chiropractic techniques that are practiced universally; Waterside Chiropractic predominantly offers McTimoney integrated with soft tissue release (STR) for human patients and this approach is integrated further with the International Academy of Veterinary Chiropractic (IAVC) technique for animal patients. The McTimoney Chiropractic technique is recognised for being a relatively gentle, precise, whole body approach to chiropractic care for both humans and animals. The IAVC technique complements McTimoney perfectly and together with STR, provides a completely holistic musculoskeletal approach for the chiropractic treatment of animals.
