Meet Dr. Gopal Handa
Dr. Gopal Handa, the principal chiropractor at Church Road Chiropractic, has over 15 years of experience helping patients overcome pain and regain vitality. Growing up in a family that benefited profoundly from chiropractic care, Dr. Gopal was inspired to follow this path and graduated from the prestigious Anglo-European College of Chiropractic in Bournemouth.
Throughout his career, Dr. Gopal has worked in over 50 clinics across the UK and internationally, gaining a wealth of experience treating diverse conditions. His expertise spans chronic pain relief, headache management, postural corrections, and sports injury rehabilitation. His philosophy is rooted in the belief that the human body has an incredible ability to heal itself when provided with the right care so he focuses on addressing the root causes of discomfort, not just symptoms.
Throughout his career, Dr. Gopal has seen firsthand the healing potential of chiropractic care, such as when a patient found instant relief from years of chronic headaches after a single adjustment. This experience deepened his commitment to offering evidence-based, effective treatments to his patients.
Dr. Gopal is deeply committed to staying at the forefront of chiropractic advancements, ensuring that his patients receive the most effective, evidence-based treatments available. Outside of the clinic, he leads an active lifestyle and priorities his own health through chiropractic care, a balanced diet, and regular exercise.
Dr. Gopal is proud to serve the Bromley community, helping individuals achieve their highest level of health and vitality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens at the first consultation?
The first appointment consists of a case history which involves asking you questions about your medical history, lifestyle, and the symptoms you are currently experiencing.
What is chiropractic?
Ideally, we like to be able to see the area we are treating and the surrounding tissues so that we can deliver an effective and safe treatment. In most cases, if we are treating the upper back in women a strappy vest top or sports bra will allow us to treat effectively. If treating the lower half of the body, exercise shorts can be worn. If you do not want to undress, then talk to the osteopath and we can work around the issue. Your modesty will always be respected.
Does treatment hurt?
Occasionally, you may find some techniques uncomfortable, but we will always ask for feedback during treatment and will work within your comfort zone. After your treatment you may experience soreness or tenderness in the area that was treated, however this usually subsides within 24-48 hours. If you are concerned after your treatment, please call the clinic and we can offer more advice.

I highly recommend Church Road for anyone considering seeing a chiropractor. I was originally nervous about treatment but Dr Gopal put me at ease and it has made a huge difference - neck and shoulder pain is not holding me back anymore. Such a lovely practice - very welcoming and professional atmosphere.
After 3 operations on hips and spine, i was still in serious pain for over 2 years. Been seeing Dr Gopal who has been marvellous and goes straight to the sore spots in my neck, back, hips, knee or foot. Its uncanny how Dr Gopal knows where you need treatment directly. Always feel great after treatment. Ive had bad treatment before, elsewhere, so i dont have any bones clicked and re-adjusted but still with what I call 'magic' Dr Gopal re-aligns my bones, eases my tension and makes me feel freshly restored. Of course it takes time as wear n tear can take years to appear, hence need time to heal. Staff are polite and friendly too.
Before coming to the clinic I was suffering severely with neck pain , back pain and was suffering with extremely bad migraines. This all, especially the migraines where really getting me down and was taking a huge toll on my life. I could never do anything or go anywhere. At least 5 days out of 7 I was getting the migraines. Since coming to the clinic and seeing the amazing Dr.Gopal and the great massage therapists (luke and ello) the treatment I have received has changed my life, I finally feel like I have my life back. I feel so much better with next to no neck or back pain and my migraines I now get are very rare. I can't recommend them enough. As soon as you walk Into the clinic you are welcome by the lovely receptionist who will go out of there way to help you with anything and will never make you feel like a pain. They honestly make you feel so welcome. I have recommend them to people who have also been to the clinic and they too have said how amazing they are. Thanks to everyone here I finally have my life back. I can't thank them enough. I slipped a disc in my back about 9 years ago which is why I started coming to Church Road and I can honestly say that I have never had a negative experience. I have had other injuries which Church Road have always been kind enough to offer advice on too. It's a wonderful practice, a lovely welcoming environment and I 100% recommend them (and I always give out their name if anyone ever mentions they need to see a chiropractor or have back issues).
I’ve been seeing Dr Gopal for just over six weeks and I can’t believe the difference I have seen. I had lower back pain and pain in the base of my neck. I have finally be able to return to exercising, which has helped me mentally and physically. I feel like I have more flexibility and I haven’t felt any pain for weeks. I am also getting a full nights sleep now! The team at Church Road are always so welcoming, from your very first visit and have always been very understanding when I have needed to rearrange my appointments due to work commitments. Kemi is always upbeat and nothing is too much trouble. The entire team are very professional and I especially appreciate that they don’t rush through any of your appointments. Dr Gopal even takes the time to show you your home exercises to ensure you are doing them correctly. I have also had deep tissue massages as part of my treatment with Elle. She is so knowledgeable. She makes you feel instantly comfortable and at ease. I was so skeptical about Chiropractic treatment before seeing the team here but I wish I had done it sooner. My friends and family have noticed such a difference in my mood and energy, I feel like myself again. I will definitely continue to see Dr Gopal and the team frequently. Thank you guys!
Petra for massage. Excellent care and very efficient and professional. My knee and hip is so much more comfortable and flexible. My movement improves significantly after each massage.
Started using church road chiro for around half a year now and it has helped me out tremendously with the issues I was having with my neck. Very friendly staff and very helpful all round.
