Frequently Asked Questions

What is chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care is focused on maintaining the alignment and movement of the joints of spine to ensure the nervous system functions without interference. When the spine is misaligned and/or not moving appropriately, it can disrupt nerve communication between the brain and the body. Chiropractic focuses on correcting these spinal misalignments (also known as vertebral subluxations), allowing the body to function at its best and heal naturally without the need for drugs or surgery. By restoring proper spinal motion and alignment, chiropractic care supports the body’s innate ability to maintain health and balance.

How can chiropractic care help my family?

Chiropractic care promotes overall wellness by ensuring proper alignment and movement of the spine. This helps improve nervous system function, which can lead to better posture, reduced pain, and improved general health for every member of your family, from infants to adults.

Is chiropractic care safe for children?

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

What conditions can chiropractic care help with?

Chiropractic care can assist with a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Back and neck pain

  • Headaches and migraines

  • Poor posture

  • Sciatica

  • Pregnancy discomfort

  • Sports injuries

  • General wellness and stress relief

What happens during a chiropractic adjustment?

During an adjustment, we use precise, controlled force to realign the spine and improve joint mobility. This may involve manual adjustments or tools, depending on what’s best for your body. Adjustments are typically painless, and most patients feel immediate relief.

How often should I visit a chiropractor?

This depends on your specific needs and health goals. We typically start with a more intensive phase to begin with to create physiological change in the body. Afterwards to maintain and continue to improve on the change, some patients may benefit from weekly adjustments, while others may need less frequent care. We will create a personalised care plan that fits your family’s needs.

Do I need a referral from a doctor to see a chiropractor?

No, you don’t need a referral. Chiropractors are primary healthcare providers, which means you can schedule an appointment directly with us.

Will I need X-rays?

X-rays aren’t always necessary, but they can provide valuable information about your spine and help us tailor your care. If needed, we will explain why X-rays are recommended and ensure they are safe and appropriate for you.

Is chiropractic care covered by health insurance?

Many health insurance plans cover chiropractic care. We can help you navigate your coverage and explain any costs upfront. Be sure to check with your insurance provider for specific details.

Can chiropractic care help with pregnancy-related pain?

Yes, chiropractic care is highly beneficial during pregnancy. Gentle adjustments can help relieve common pregnancy discomforts like back pain and pelvic misalignment, making pregnancy more comfortable and supporting an easier birth process.

What can I expect during my first visit?

During your first visit, we’ll take time to understand your health history, perform a thorough examination, and discuss any concerns or symptoms you’re experiencing. We may also recommend some initial tests or assessments to get a full picture of your health. Based on this, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan for you.

What age groups do you work with?

We provide care for patients of all ages, from infants to seniors. Whether you’re looking to support your child’s development, manage pain, or improve mobility, chiropractic care can be adapted to fit your needs at any stage of life.
