Martin Young, Chiropractic Expert Witness

I am a practicing chiropractor with 20 years' clinical experience, currently based in clinics in South Somerset & North Dorset with four associates and over 12,000 active patients.

I also work in a specialist Headache Clinic, co-managing head and face pain patients as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

In addition to my clinical practice, I am a Member of the Expert Witness Institute (EWI) and work as an chiropractic expert witness offering independent professional opinions in matters of:

I receive over 20 malpractice instructions per year from a wide variety of solicitors in England and Ireland; have written approximately 75 reports in the last three years, comprising almost 1 million words of expert testimony. I have given evidence in court, to tribunals and before the Professional Conduct Committee of the General Chiropractic Council.

My original training as a journalist and physicist is reflected in my continuing interest in scientific writing and publishing:

I was editor of Clinical Chiropractic, an international peer-reviewed journal from 1996-2013 and have published two books and several dozen articles in peer-reviewed journals.

This reflects my active involvement in conducting and publishing clinically-based research: my interests include functional gastrointestinal disorders, cephalaglia (head and face pain), whiplash associated disorders and laterality. This research culminated in obtaining an MPhil through the University of South Wales.

I am an inaugural fellow of the Royal College of Chiropractors, and also hold a specialist Fellowship in their Faculty of Pain. I am also a Fellow of the British Chiropractic Association and was the first chiropractor to be elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine.
