Case Study: The Surrey Chiropractor
Building trust, simplifying communication, and creating strategic social media that truly supports a busy clinic
Who They Are
The Surrey Chiropractor is a trusted, highly ethical chiropractic clinic supporting families, professionals, athletes and individuals in pain and injury prevention. Before working together, they had never worked with a dedicated social media manager. Social media was something that they simply didn’t have capacity to manage themselves in their busy clinical environment- but they recognised its importance for community connection, visibility, and patient education.
The Challenge
The clinic needed:
-someone they could trust
-someone who understood professional responsibility
-someone who would respect their expertise and medical accuracy
-and someone who could create content without adding to their workload
They wanted social media that reflected their values, their professionalism, and their genuinecare for people not flashy marketing that didn’t feel like them.
My Approach
This was very much a collaborative and evolving partnership, not a “plug-and-play” service.
1. Getting to Know Them Properly
I met with the owner several times to:
- understand their tone of voice, capture their brand feel and colour scheme
- learn what they liked (and didn’t like)
- and really understand how they wanted their clinic portrayed online
Every healthcare business is unique, and I wanted to honour that.
2. Building a Workflow That Suited Them
We agreed early on that the system must work around their busy clinic, not the other way around.
So we:
- used Google Drive to share drafts, captions, images and videos
- created content using a mixture of their own photos and carefully chosen stock images
- reviewed posts together
- adapted and refined things they wanted simpler, clearer or differently phrased
This was intentionally a two-way process. Medical wording matters. They are the experts- and every caption must reflect that expertise, professionalism and ethics. I always ensure posts are uploaded for approval in advance. And when life gets hectic (as it often does in healthcare), I’ll WhatsApp content for quick review to save them logging in. My job is to remove pressure, not add to it.
3. Strategy, Not Just Posting
From the beginning, we focused on:
- community relationship building
- reassurance
- education
- visibility
Consistent posting began weekly, with one strong post shared thoughtfully to relevant local community groups, leading to brilliant reach, conversations and engagement. The tone has always remained human, warm and accessible rather than corporate.
As the clinic evolved, so did the content:
- welcoming a new chiropractor
- communicating staff changes sensitively
- supporting the launch of a sports therapy practitioner
- celebrating milestones
- educating and supporting patients gently and respectfully
This wasn’t just social media; it was part of the clinic’s communication heartbeat
Developing Meta Ads
The Surrey Chiropractor was also my first Meta Ads client, and they trusted me with something incredibly important to their business.
Firstly, I:
- studied ad compliance for healthcare
- researched targeting ethically and carefully
- learned best practice
- and planned everything step-by-step
The ads:
- have been highly successful
- were carefully targeted based on audiences, seasons and needs
- generated leads, enquiries and increased awareness
And importantly:
- they are monitored
- updated
- reviewed regularly
- and treated like something living, always evolving, never “set and forget”
I love the analytics side: reading data, interpreting trends, and making decisions thatmaximise opportunity while keeping integrity at the centre.
The Reality of Partnership
This wasn’t a friction-free, automated relationship and that’s a good thing. Healthcare is careful and ethical.
We:
- reviewed wording carefully
- ensured accuracy
- adapted content as needed
- remained responsive during busy clinic and personal changes
- handled staff transitions compassionately and professionally
I’ve also trained and advised The Surrey Chiropractor on:
- what images work well
- what videos perform best
- design approaches
- and new post formats (moving elements, 3D designs, Canva techniques) while always ensuring the message stays clear and responsible.
Results & Impact
✔️ Consistent, professional social media presence
✔️ Community trust built through authentic communication
✔️ Strong engagement and positive responses
✔️ Successful, well-managed Meta Ad campaigns
✔️ Reduced pressure on the clinic team
✔️ A true partnership, not just outsourcing
What began as something I thought might be short-term support has grown into a long-term working relationship. The team has seen the value, enjoyed having someone handle this sideof the business, and I’ve genuinely loved working alongside them.
Reflection
Working with a medical service has taught me:
- great respect for clinical expertise
- extreme care in wording
- the importance of flexibility
- and the power of thoughtful social media done well
It’s been a privilege to support The Surrey Chiropractor, and I’m incredibly proud of the work we’ve created together.
