On foot, it’s a scenic walk straight along the promenade from Sandbanks to Bournemouth Pier, passing Flaghead, Branksome, Alum and Durley Chine then up into Bournemouth Gardens. By car, allow 10 to 12 minutes via Canford Cliffs and Westbourne (longer in summer traffic), we have an accessible driveway with free, unrestricted parking right outside, no crazy expensive parking meters, no traffic wardens patrolling, no stress. The open-top Breezer bus also runs regularly along the peninsula toward Westbourne, a short walk or taxi from the clinic, if you’d rather leave the car at home. It is so straightforward and easily accessible to get to see me, the longest qualified chiropractor in the area, as your nearest chiropractor in Sandbanks.

Sandbanks brings a particular mix of patients. There’s the water sports crowd, windsurfers, paddleboarders, open-water swimmers and Royal Motor Yacht Club sailors all often presenting with shoulder injuries and rotator cuff strain from repetitive paddling and the odd wrestling-a-wetsuit pull and strain. Regulars on the Sandbanks/ Bournemouth Pier promenade stretch bring the usual runner’s overuse pattern knee pain, plantar fasciitis, hip strain from the camber of the path . I also see a lot of senior professionals whose desk-bound week is bookended by intense weekend sport and that’s a combination that tends to show up as lumbar disc irritation or neck and shoulder tension and a substantial number of active retirees managing osteoarthritis and degenerative change or osteoporosis, where chiropractic treatment is adapted to lower-force techniques where appropriate.
I’m Leslie Budzynski, a GCC-registered chiropractor (No. 00043) and BCA member (No. 0072) with 39 years of clinical experience. I qualified from what’s now Health Sciences University (then AECC) in 1987, and ran my own practice and satellite clinics in London before moving to Bournemouth in 2000. Bournemouth Chiropractic is a single-practitioner clinic so I see and treat every patient myself, at every appointment.
New patients from Sandbanks can typically book within 48 hours or less using the online diary. There is no waiting list and no GP referral required. Chiropractic is a primary healthcare profession regulated by the General Chiropractic Council, which means you can refer yourself directly. Early morning appointments from 7.30am, lunchtime slots and afternoon availability Monday to Friday, plus Saturday slots until 3.00pm are available. The initial appointment includes a full consultation, examination and treatment at the same visit and the costs are explained on our rates page.
The initial appointment is longer and more comprehensive. It begins with a full case history covering the current complaint, relevant medical background and lifestyle factors, followed by a biomechanical and orthopaedic examination. Where neurological assessment is indicated, for example, with sciatica or arm symptoms then this is included at the same visit. A working diagnosis is explained clearly and treatment begins at the first appointment if appropriate.
The fee for the initial visit is £75. Follow-up appointments focus on treatment and reassessment of progress, are shorter in duration and are priced at £65. Every appointment, initial or follow-up, is conducted personally by Leslie Budzynski DC. There are no associates, no locums and no variation in who you see.
Yes, the open-top Purbeck Breezer runs from Canford Cliffs to Westbourne, a short walk or taxi ride from there to the clinic on Branksome Hill Road. It’s a scenic, calm and sustainable way to travel if you’re not in a rush and not in too much pain. If you don’t have a car and are in discomfort then consider a short taxi ride instead.
