Why Innate Healthcare
Your recovery.
Our mission.
Whether you've picked up an injury training at Alexandra Park, you're carrying a desk-job neck ache after the commute from Manchester, or you need post-op rehab close to home — we're here, and we're listening.
We combine the structural expertise of chiropractic with the functional recovery of physiotherapy to build a plan that's as individual as you are. And we don't stop at treatment — we give you the lifestyle advice to make the improvement stick.
Founded by Dr Zuber Ahmed — a retired GP with decades of service to Oldham — this is a small, personal practice, not a chain clinic chasing throughput.
“We're helping our neighbours get back to the lives they love — whether that's a walk in the Pennines, getting back on the pitch, or just playing with the grandkids without wincing. ”
— Dr Mohammed Ashraf, Clinical Director
Clinically led, properly qualified
Our chiropractors are GCC-registered and our physiotherapists are HCPC-accredited. You're in safe, experienced hands — not a training ground.
We treat the cause, not just the symptoms
Thorough assessments mean we find out what's actually going on — then we treat that, not just the pain it's causing, with honest lifestyle advice so the problem doesn't come back.
Genuine listening
Your history, lifestyle and goals shape everything. We take time to understand the full picture before we put together a plan.
No hard sell. Ever.
We'll tell you honestly what you need and how long it's likely to take. If you don't need to come back, we'll say so.
Here between appointments too
Existing patients can always call for free advice. You won't be left wondering whether something is normal or whether you should be worried.
Right here in Oldham
Town centre location, evening and weekend slots available. No long drives, no waiting lists, no faff.

Patient Stories
What our Oldham patients say
“Over the past few months, I've been suffering from severe shoulder pain and a tingling sensation in my arms. In order to get better, I booked a session at Healthworks and I saw Dr Khalid. After a thorough examination, Dr Khalid got to work on my shoulders and nerve sensations. After a couple of sessions, I noticed a big reduction in the pain. I've now completed several sessions with Dr Khalid and I'm now pain free. The nerve pain has subsided significantly and I expect it to disappear completely in the coming days. If you're in pain due to Musculoskeletal problems, I would highly recommend you contact Healthworks and be seen by one of their Chiropractors.”
“Excellent. Lower back problem diagnozed and treated very professionally by Mufiza, who explained things very clearly. Highly recommended.”
“I found my experience with Healthworks to be extremely beneficial. Mufiza is diligent knowledgeable and experienced.”
“Where do I start from the phone call to the lovely receptionist to when you walk out, The service provided is 10/10. Dr Ashraf is a god send he really knows his stuff and is such a Gent really really helpful and honest with his work, His work ethic is out of this world. Just to add on I have been coming here for over a year now with all sorts of issues relating to muscle pains which incur in the gym. I can honestly say every time I have left that building I feel as good as new. I Will forever be grateful to this practice.”
“My son injured his back at work, Dr Ashraf fitted him into clinic at short notice and went through his medical health and symptoms. He examined him fully then sat him down and told him what he had done and what muscles were involved and what he would do in the treatment. Dr Ashraf then treated him all the time explaining what he was doing and why. Immediately my son felt slightly better both physically and because he knew what was happening so he was not stressing thinking it was something worse. He was given after care advice which he followed and the day after he felt so much better and that is thanks to the expertise & quality of care from Dr Ashraf I would highly recommend the care and expertise of Dr Ashraf.”
“Really recommend this chiropractor - I was able to get an appointment straight away and Dr Ashraf was brilliant. He thoroughly explained the issue and talked through the treatment. He was extremely professional and caring, and the difference in my movement in a week was impressive.”
“Found Healthworks on Google after 3 years of agonising pain due to 4 protruding discs and arthritis in my spine and the hospital struggling to try and keep the pain down, after 2 months of treatment by Mohammed, who by the way is very professional, polite and curtious I now feel that I have my life back and looking forward to a future with minimal pain as I can now stand up all day long instead of a couple of hours at a time. Would definitely recommend Mohammed to anyone who has problems with joints or muscles, I cannot thank him enough.”
