The Hove and Brighton Chiropractors
You've probably heard the saying, "Two heads are better than one." We've taken that a step further at Chiropractic Life. With three chiropractors on staff, you get the benefit of extra brainpower. Especially with difficult cases.
Hove and Brighton Chiropractor Dr. Richard McMinn
My Chiropractic story begins in 1957. At that time my Uncle, who later became my mentor, had become a Chiropractor, and our family were beginning to understand the value of the Chiropractic Lifestyle. I was eight years of age at that time and I clearly remember having my first Chiropractic adjustment. It was at that point my career path was chosen and from that time I never wavered from wanting to be a Chiropractor. I never understood much, I only knew the feeling of being "set free"and feeling "wow - and wanting to help others to feel that way" and it was that feeling that carried me right through school, university and Chiropractic College. The idea of a drugless healing art that could prevent sickness and disease appealed to my young mind.
At the time I decided to pursue my education to be a Chiropractor, mature students were not allowed back to school to study.
I successfully petitioned the New Zealand Government to change this law and entered Glendowie College to complete my University Entrance Exams. In appreciation I donated "The McMinn Cup" which is still awarded to deserving students to this day. After graduating I was accepted into Cleveland College in Kansas City Missouri and soon after transferred to Palmer College of Chiropractic Davenport Iowa USA - known as The Chiropractic Fountainhead.
Chiropractic Life is essentially a wellness based Chiropractic clinic which means that we are not only interested in getting people well, but we are also interested in educating and supporting people in their endeavours to maintain their health, vitality and wellness. My own five children were all born at home and have had chiropractic care since the day they were born. None of the children have ever been to a medical doctor and it is my vision to empower the people of Hove and Brighton to take control of their own health by choosing natural alternatives.
Children make excellent patients. They respond readily to care as they bring no prejudice or scepticism to their appointments. They bring only trust and in turn it is such a delight to see them reaching their fullest potential.

Hove and Brighton Chiropractor Dr. Helen Martin
We are delighted to welcome Helen Martin to the team at Chiropractic Life and she is looking forward to working with you, to help you achieve the health you were born to have. Initially Helen Martin met Richard McMinn (founder and principal Chiropractor at Chiropractic Life) and was inspired by his enthusiasm for Chiropractic and the unique story of his five children who have never been to a doctor, and the strong wellness philosophy which is promoted at Chiropractic Life.
Helen Martin obtained her degree in Chiropractic from the McTimoney College of Chiropractic in Oxford, which is validated by the University of Wales.
Helen has continued to learn and perfect other chiropractic techniques during her association with many different chiropractors, and regularly attends seminars and conferences to keep abreast of new developments in the field of Chiropractic.
Initially Helen studied business and languages, but became interested in the Chiropractic profession several years ago, following a skiing accident. During the recovery process her interest in the human body and it's ability to heal itself so wonderfully, occupied her thoughts – seeds of a new career were being sown. Helen began to see that Chiropractic was not just about relieving pain and discomfort but about keeping the spine free of interference so that the body is able to do it's own marvelous work of self healing, thereby producing vitality and a state of wellbeing.
During the time she spent in Austria, Helen spent a lot of time observing work/play challenges and the demands these make on the human body. Most rewarding has been her work with babies with colic and children with learning difficulties and it has been her privilege to witness many amazing improvements in their concentration, motor skills and speech.
Culture, art, creative pursuits, traveling, animals and the outdoors are also high on her list for relaxation.
Helen looks forward to meeting you in the clinic and helping you to a life of health and vitality through Chiropractic.

Hove and Brighton Chiropractor Dr. Glenn Fredericksen
Dr Fredericksen’s training was completed at the prestigious New Zealand College of Chiropractic. Two years ago Glenn ventured across the globe to the United Kingdom bringing with him a truly natural approach to health and wellbeing. The New Zealand College of Chiropractic is a world class faculty and has been built on the values which are an important part of the philosophy at Chiropractic Life and Dr Fredericksen is well placed to continue this tradition.
Glenn’s interest in Chiropractic has been maintained since high school when he had his first Chiropractic adjustment with Dr John Funnell, a long time friend of Dr Richard McMinn. Interestingly the association with Dr McMinn goes even further, with a member of Dr McMinn’s family in his graduating class!
There was never any doubt that Chiropractic was going to be the profession which Glenn would use to provide natural wellness care to as many people who would be willing to embrace this philosophy.
During his employment at Chiropractic 1st in York, Glenn enjoyed working with people of all ages and from all walks of life. Glenn has worked with many sports people who have benefited from Chiropractic care which has enabled them to heal quicker from injuries and to perform better because of improved biomechanics.
Chiropractic for children has been a special interest of Glenn’s and during his continuing professional development in 2009/10 Glenn attended seminars for providing focused care during pregnancy and Chiropractic care for newborn infants, children and adolescents.
Chiropractic is one of the largest health care professions in the Western World. The philosophy behind chiropractic is simple and unique. If the spine is functioning properly, the nervous system will function more effectively. This allows the body to work optimally and heal itself –naturally.
Essentially, Chiropractic is about helping the body to help itself. Glenn says “I love being a Chiropractor and helping people to achieve a higher level of health and wellbeing through regular Chiropractic Care, natural nutritional and exercise advice and a positive mental attitude. This natural form of health care increases your potential on every level: mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. It is extremely satisfying to be part of a positive, proactive model of health care”.
