Tracy Bown
BSc., Doctor of Chiropractic
Tracy was born and raised in Canada and has always had a passion for health. Her early career path was progressing towards a conventional allopathic medical career until she encountered the healing powers of chiropractic. Her mother was suffering from chronic lower back pain and was diagnosed with three herniated discs; her condition was unresponsive to medical treatments and surgery was recommended. As a last resort, she tried chiropractic care and Tracy witnessed the improvement and stabilization of her mother’s condition through this non-invasive method of health. This inspired Tracy to change her focus and pursue a career in Chiropractic. In 2000, she graduated from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) in Toronto, Canada, and decided to travel around the world practising chiropractic where she found herself in Australia covering practices as a locum Doctor of Chiropractic. It was here that Tracy came under the tutelage of one of the top medical radiologists in the world, the late Dr. Lindsay Rowe (also a Chiropractor); they became firm friends and Dr. Lindsay served as a great mentor for Tracy’s Chiropractic career.
After returning back to her roots in Newfoundland, Canada and continuing with some locum work, Tracy then moved to Portugal and resided there for 11 years where she owned and managed two very successful clinics in the Algarve.
Over the last seven years Tracy has travelled extensively around the world and has worked in Thailand, India, Oman, Nicaragua and the UK.
Tracy is passionate about Chiropractic and gives 100% energy to try to improve each and every patient’s spinal health and function. Outside of work, Tracy’s passions include the gym and fitness, traveling the world, and spending time with family and friends.
Nick Bach-Price
BSc., Doctor of Chiropractic
Nick was born in central London and grew up in London, Berkshire and Somerset. He got into Chiropractic after suffering with chronic low back pain following a car accident in his early 20’s. After nearly a year of pain and not being able to play sport, a Chiropractor in Berkhamsted got Nick back on the road to recovery. Six years later, in 1996, Nick graduated from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic (AECC) and has been in full time practice since his graduation, owning and running clinics in the UK and Portugal. He has also worked in India, Thailand and Nicaragua helping to develop and raise the profile of Chiropractic in these countries.
His passion is educating people on the long-term benefits of Chiropractic care and how it can not only reduce pain but improve function of the whole-body as well, thus allowing people to keep on doing the activities that they love to do. Nick has recently managed to finish his book on health, during the Covid-19 lockdown period, and hopes to publish his efforts in the near future.
Outside of work, Nick enjoys the gym and staying fit and is passionate about cricket, rugby, travel and the piano.
Nick and Tracy have a daughter, Elisha, who graduated as a Chiropractor in 2021 and works in Devon.
Megan Saunders
MSc., Doctor of Chiropractic
Megan graduated from The Welsh Institute of Chiropractic (WIOC) which is part of the University of South Wales and has additional qualifications in massage and dry needling. Megan was first introduced to Chiropractic following a football injury at the age of 16 and after not recovering with the usual therapies she was advised to try Chiropractic treatment by a family member. Her recovery was so impressive to her that she decided to research the Chiropractic profession and ended up enrolling for the Chiropractic degree course in South Wales. She graduated with a distinction and has been in practice in Glamorgan for the last year.
In her spare time, Dr. Megan is a keen soccer player and played semi-professional soccer for Swansea City Ladies whilst she was studying in South Wales; she is currently playing for Dorking Wanderers Ladies XI. As a natural athlete, Dr. Megan has a keen interest in sport injuries and how improved spinal biomechanics using Chiropractic care can enhance physical performance.
