Dr Sally Stanworth is a highly qualified Doctor of Chiropractic and IDD (Intervertebral Differential Dynamics) Therapist at Back In Line Therapy Centre, bringing her expertise in spinal health and rehabilitation to the clinic. She serves not only as a clinician but also as the Practice Director, playing a pivotal role in leading the centre’s multidisciplinary therapeutic team.
I’m Dr. Sally Stanworth, owner and lead chiropractor at Back in Line Therapy Centre here in Bicester, Oxfordshire. My passion for helping people overcome back pain began during my own pregnancy when I struggled with sciatica and pelvic girdle pain. At the time, I felt let down by the limited options available through conventional care. It wasn’t until I tried chiropractic that I truly found relief – and also discovered the path I wanted to follow in life. That experience lit a fire in me to train, qualify, and eventually open my own clinic, so others wouldn’t have to feel the same frustration I once did.
Since opening Back in Line Therapy Centre in 2011, I’ve dedicated myself to helping people get back to living without constant pain. I believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. That means taking time to listen, understand your story, and uncover what’s really behind the problem. From there, I use a combination of chiropractic adjustments, hands-on therapies, strength and conditioning, home care exercises, and, when needed, advanced IDD Therapy – a non-invasive treatment that gently decompresses the spine. This has been life-changing for so many people in Bicester and beyond who thought their only options left were injections, heavy-duty painkillers, or surgery.
What makes my work so rewarding is seeing people reclaim their lives. Whether it’s being able to walk without pain, play with grandchildren, get back to sport, or simply feel confident moving again – those are the wins that matter. As the leading back pain expert in Bicester, my goal is to make sure every person who comes through our doors feels heard, supported, and cared for every step of the way.
Dr. Sally Stanworth is widely recognised as a leading back pain expert in Bicester, with over a decade of hands-on experience helping people overcome even the most stubborn spinal conditions. After qualifying as a chiropractor in 2009, she founded Back in Line Therapy Centre in 2011 with a mission to provide a higher level of personalised, holistic care for people who were struggling to find lasting relief. Since then, she has built an elite reputation in the field of back pain, supporting thousands of patients who have faced challenges ranging from everyday stiffness to chronic and complex spinal conditions.
Her expertise goes beyond standard chiropractic. Sally has invested in advanced training and introduced innovative solutions such as IDD Therapy – an evidence-based, non-invasive spinal decompression treatment. This approach has been life-changing for patients with conditions like herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis. By combining traditional chiropractic adjustments with modern techniques, tailored exercise programmes, massage therapy, and ongoing support, Sally ensures that each patient’s recovery plan is not only effective but also sustainable in the long term.
What sets Sally apart is her depth of experience and her commitment to treating the root cause of back pain, not just the symptoms. She understands the frustration many patients feel after years on the “healthcare merry-go-round” of painkillers and short-term fixes. Her elite-level knowledge, honed through years of practice and continuous learning, has positioned her as the trusted authority in Bicester for people seeking real, lasting solutions to back pain.
What makes me different as a back pain specialist here in Bicester is that I don’t just stop at traditional chiropractic care – I’ve gone further to bring in advanced solutions that give people real alternatives when nothing else has worked. At Back in Line Therapy Centre, one of the most powerful tools we use is IDD Therapy, the UK’s leading non-surgical spinal decompression treatment. I introduced this because too many people were left feeling stuck: relying on painkillers, facing injections, or being told surgery was their only option. I knew there had to be a better way.
IDD Therapy gently decompresses the spine, relieving pressure on nerves, restoring movement, and supporting the body’s natural healing process. It’s particularly life-changing for people with herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, or long-standing back and neck pain. What sets my clinic apart is that we don’t use it in isolation – we combine IDD Therapy with hands-on chiropractic care, home exercises, massage, and strength work to ensure long-term recovery, not just short-term relief.
Over the years, I’ve seen incredible transformations. Patients who arrived struggling to stand up straight, walk without a stick, or enjoy the simplest parts of life are now back hiking, walking the dog, playing with grandchildren, and living life on their own terms – all without surgery. My approach is different because it’s not about treating pain in the moment. It’s about helping people break free from the cycle of temporary fixes and giving them back the life they deserve.
