David Allen DC
David founded Highcliffe Chiropractic in 1990, with a mission to help people feel and move better. With over 35 years of experience, David’s journey into chiropractic care began in 1987 when he qualified as a chiropractor following a career in medical research.
In 2009, David expanded his expertise by specialising in Diagnostic Ultrasound, earning an MSc in 2012. David also dedicated 10 years to teaching Diagnostic Ultrasound at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic, sharing his knowledge with future professionals in the field.
When he’s not in the clinic, David enjoys walking his lively wire-haired Vizsla, Riz, and cheering on his favourite football team, Plymouth Argyle FC.
David is available for appointments on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, where his extensive experience and passion for patient care continue to make a difference.

Wei Lin Allen DC
Wei Lin qualified in chiropractic in 1989, following an early career in university pharmacological research. Together with David, she founded Highcliffe Chiropractic in 1990, building the foundations of the clinic as it stands today.
Her natural affinity with animals led her to qualify in Veterinary Chiropractic in 2012, inspired in part by wanting to better support her own elderly dog.
After more than 30 years in clinical practice, Wei Lin has now stepped back from hands-on chiropractic work. She continues to play an essential role within the clinic as our main administrative lead. In her spare time, she enjoys yoga, cooking, gardening, and craftwork.
