Our approach

Why patients choose Vale

We take time to listen, look at your problem properly and explain your options in plain English. Every plan is built around you: your symptoms, your health and what you want to get back to doing.

  • Registered clinicians

    Doctors and surgeons registered with the GMC, and chiropractors registered with the GCC.

  • We look before we treat

    Ultrasound scanning on site, so injections are guided and problems can be seen, not guessed.

  • Many options, one clinic

    Injections, chiropractic, shockwave, men’s health, facial surgery and hair transplants under one roof.

  • Honest advice

    Clear prices, realistic expectations and no pressure. If a treatment isn’t right for you, we’ll say so.
