Dr. Christopher Stewart, DC, PhD came to chiropractic as a second career after nearly twenty years working in healthcare as an optician, laboratory technician, and manager. It was witnessing the difference that thoughtful, compassionate chiropractic care made in the life of someone close to him that inspired him to change direction and pursue a career in chiropractic.

Christopher trained in the United States, earning undergraduate degrees in Human Biology and Psychology, his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the University of Western States, and later completing a PhD in Mind-Body Medicine. He is registered with the General Chiropractic Council and has a genuine passion for learning, research, and continually developing his approach to patient care.

With nine years of experience in practice in the United States, Christopher has performed thousands of chiropractic adjustments and cared for a diverse range of patients, including professional athletes, musicians, medical doctors and surgeons, students, children, and those experiencing pregnancy-related discomfort.

At the centre of Christopher’s approach is the belief that understanding the person is just as important as understanding the condition. He takes time to listen, explain what is happening, and help patients understand their bodies, their options, and the plan ahead.

Originally from the United States, Christopher is proud to now call Scotland home and is delighted to be caring for patients at Maple Clinics in Edinburgh. Outside the clinic, he enjoys cycling, camping, travelling, exploring Scotland, live music, brewing craft beer, and following new research.
