This July marks an incredible milestone for Forest Hall Chiropractic Clinic — our director, owner, and lead chiropractor, Jon Toward, celebrates 25 years of practice.
Over the past two and a half decades, Jon has helped thousands of people move better, feel better, and get back to doing what they love. From elite athletes to everyday heroes, his hands-on approach and unwavering dedication have changed lives — sometimes quite literally.
Memorable Milestones from the Past 25 Years
From Premier Leagues to Patients’ Comebacks
Dr Jon has worked with premier league football teams
Jon has had the privilege of working as Team Chiropractor for Newcastle United FC’s Men’s 1st Team, Middlesbrough FC, and as a consultant for Newcastle Falcons. Helping elite athletes stay at the top of their game has been both an honour and an insight into the power of precision care — and teamwork at the highest level.
Lessons from Rafa
One particularly unforgettable moment? Getting a few impromptu Spanish lessons from none other than Rafa Benitez. When world-class football managers are sharing life and language lessons, you know you’re in the right room.
Life-Saving Moments
On multiple occasions, Jon’s attentiveness helped spot serious health Issues that needed urgent care
It’s not all about sports. Several times throughout his career, Jon has spotted serious underlying health issues during routine chiropractic appointments — issues that needed urgent medical attention. His attentiveness and clinical instincts quite literally helped save lives.
Helping Big Dreams Come True
From pain to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro – Jon helped make it possible
One patient came to Jon with a severe back condition and a dream: to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. With time, consistency, and care, that dream became a reality — a true testament to the power of resilience, trust, and expert support.
“Many arrive feeling like we’re their last hope. Helping them walk out feeling free again- that’s the real reward”
The ‘Last Resort’ That Changed Everything
Many people come to Forest Hall Chiropractic Clinic after trying everything else. Jon has become known for being the ‘last resort’ that works, helping people who’d nearly given up find relief, movement, and new hope.
And Yes, Even a Rottweiler
Oh – and he once adjusted a Rottweiler too…(just once!)
We’d be remiss not to include this one — Jon once adjusted a Rottweiler. Safe to say, it was one of the more unique appointments in clinic history!
Why He Still Loves This Work
When asked what keeps him going after 25 years, Jon says it’s simple:
“I get the most satisfaction from helping people get back to doing the things they love — whether that’s playing sport, picking up their grandkids, or walking the dog. That’s what it’s all about.”
Here’s to 25 years of service – and the many lives still to be touched
As the clinic continues to grow and evolve, Jon’s mission remains the same: to deliver honest, effective, and empowering care to the people of Forest Hall and beyond.
Here’s to 25 years of dedication — and many more to come. Thank you, Jon, for everything you do.
