Sports Injury & Spinal Clinic for Newmarket Patients
Five minutes from Newmarket High Street, just off the A14 — specialist musculoskeletal and sports injury treatment with no NHS waiting lists.
If you live or work in Newmarket, BodyCare is your nearest specialist sports injury and spinal clinic — based in Kentford on the Bury Road, around 5 minutes' drive from Newmarket town centre and the High Street. Whether you've come off a horse, you're carrying a chronic back problem from years in the saddle, or you've finally had enough of a desk-related neck pain that no-one's properly diagnosed, this is where Newmarket patients come when generic treatment hasn't worked.
Why Patients From Newmarket Travel to BodyCare
Newmarket is well served for general healthcare, but specialist musculoskeletal care — the kind that combines IDD Therapy spinal decompression, diagnostic ultrasound and 30+ years of clinical experience under one roof — isn't on the High Street. NHS physio waits in West Suffolk routinely run 8–14 weeks, and when you do get seen, appointments are short and group-class led. For acute disc problems, sciatica, rotator cuff injuries or post-surgical pain, that model isn't fit for purpose.
Patients from Newmarket travel the 3 miles to BodyCare because they want a proper diagnosis first — not a generic exercise sheet. Lee Petrucci has assessed over 100,000 musculoskeletal patients in 30 years of practice, and the clinic is built around root-cause assessment, hands-on treatment and measurable outcomes. You're seen on time, by name, by the person who diagnoses you.
What's Different at BodyCare
IDD Therapy spinal decompression
The flagship treatment for disc-related back pain and sciatica. Computer-controlled, segmental, non-surgical. Newmarket's nearest provider.
Diagnostic ultrasound in-clinic
Live imaging of tendons, joints and soft tissue at the point of assessment — no separate scan referral, no waiting.
Root-cause methodology
We diagnose mechanism, not just sore spots. Most chronic pain has a structural cause that generic treatment misses.
30+ years specialist experience
Lee has worked with elite jockeys, racing professionals and 100,000+ patients across the region. Experience matters when the case is complex.
Who We Treat From Newmarket
Many of the Newmarket patients we treat come from one of three groups, though we see all musculoskeletal cases:
- Jockeys, work riders and racing yard staff with falls, recurring back pain, shoulder injuries and concussion-related neck issues — the racing industry is in our DNA and Lee has worked closely with riders for decades.
- Newmarket residents with chronic low back pain, sciatica or disc bulges who've cycled through GP, NHS physio and sometimes injections without resolution.
- Active over-50s — runners, golfers, gym-goers — managing rotator cuff problems, hip pain or recurring sports injuries who want to keep training, not stop.
- Local desk and office workers with neck pain, headaches or trapped nerves linked to posture and load.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the drive from Newmarket town centre?
Around 5–8 minutes via the A14 from Newmarket High Street to Bury Road in Kentford. The clinic has free on-site parking, so there's no walking from a car park.
Do many patients come from the Newmarket racing industry?
Yes — jockeys, work riders, stable staff and racing professionals make up a meaningful share of our caseload. Lee has decades of experience with riding-related injuries: spinal compression from falls, chronic low back pain, shoulder dislocations, concussion-linked neck problems.
Can I book a same-week appointment?
Usually yes. Initial assessments can typically be booked within a few working days, often the same week. For acute or severe cases we'll do our best to fit you in sooner — call the clinic directly.
Do you work with jockeys and stable staff?
Yes. Lee has a long history of treating riders and racing yard personnel. We understand the demands of weight management, race riding, riding out, and the specific injury patterns these create.
What makes you different from the Newmarket NHS physio service?
We're a specialist private musculoskeletal clinic, not a general physio service. You get a longer assessment, a diagnosis you can understand, IDD Therapy and diagnostic ultrasound in-house, and ongoing care with the same clinician — no waiting lists, no group classes, no rotating practitioners.
