Meet the Chiropractors

Dr Craig McLeanDr Craig McLean
Dr Craig McLean graduated from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (R.M.I.T) Australia in 1994. Putney Chiropractic Centre was established in 1986 and when Craig took over in 2002 he transformed the practice into one of the leading Chiropractic practices in the country.

Craig understands what it takes to train and compete in various sports. He has entered the 2008 olympic distance Windsor Triathlon and aims to complete in a sub 2hr15min time. He is attempting to move from 4th to 3rd cat in cycling racing competing under the London Dynamo jersey, recently placing second in a closed circuit road race. He has helped numerous athletes at various levels of performance achieve their best using the skills he has developed over the last 14 years as a Chiropractor and an amateur sportsman.

Craig has a special interest in pregnancy and paediatrics. He has a network of contacts of independent midwives in the local area and has undergone further study in Chiropractic Paediatrics. In 2007 he was overjoyed to become a father himself; he now has first hand knowledge and experience on how to promote optimal comfort during pregnancy and help all babies sleep and feed well.

Craig also has golf handicap of 12, is a back country free skier, has a history of competitive rowing, is a really bad tennis player and had one game of lawn bowls in 2007 which resulted in him taking home the Clapham Common Invitational trophy.

Having experienced disc herniation himself, Craig understands what others with discomfort are going through. Read Craig's story. He was recently invited on to BBC Radio Five Live to talk about the Queen's recent back injury.

Craig has taken Putney Chiropractic Centre to a new level of health care excellence that provides a fun, friendly and caring environment. He aims to exceed your expectations in health care, helping you achieve clearly defined health goals.

Dr Carlyle JenkinsDr Carlyle Jenkins
Dr Carlyle Jenkins, who studied at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, has many years experience in Australia and the UK. Carlyle also did a season in Val d’Isere, in the French Alps, assisting world renowned ski boot fitters in giving maximum performance to Olympic skiers.

Carlyle's special interests include; educating the community about the ability of the human mind and body to heal and maintain health, extracting peak performance from the nervous system and telemark skiing as many mountains as humanly possible.

Wildly ecstatic to be married to Angela, the pair look forward to sharing all life has to offer with Putney Chiropractic Centre.



Dr Edwina WaddellDr Edwina Waddell
Dr Edwina Waddell graduated from prestigious Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. She spent two years practicing in the Sydney city centre before heading to the sunny shores of England, where she has been registered for several years.

Dr Waddell has been passionate about health, fitness and the human body most of her life, and competed in swimming, triathlon, water polo, and outrigger-caoeing from a young age before moving on to complete an undergraduate degree in sports and exercise science.

Becoming a chiropractor therefore seemed a natural choice, and she is passionate about helping people recognize their full potential. Dr Waddell also has a special interest in familiy chiropractic, and is looking forward to caring for the parents and children of Putney's families just as she did in her previous practice.

Edwina enjoys spending her time training for events such as the London Triathlon, cooking, and spending as much time with her friends as possible. Putney Chiropractic is delighted that she has decided to join the team instead of returning to her native Australia, and look forward to introducing her to you all.



Dr Abby HoldenDr Abby Holden
Abby graduated from NZCC in New Zealand. After a spinal injury at 17 and being told she would never play sport again, Abby found herself in a Chiropractic clinic looking for help…a year later she found herself in class embarking on the journey to become a Chiropractor.

Locuming throughout NZ, Ireland and the UK was full of excitement and challenges – now Abby is ecstatic to be part of the team at PCC and to be spending time with friends in London.

Chirodontics is a passion, as is working with children suffering cerebral palsy. A study at NZCC was undertaken by Abby about children with cerebral palsy and Chiropractic care, a rewarding time that she did not want to end.

Sport and music keep Abby entertained. The team at PCC may even play her CD in the clinic after some heavy bribing.

Abby looks forward to the journey ahead and welcomes everyone into the practice with an open heart.
