Doctors of Chiropractic specialise in diagnosis, treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal problems. Chiropractic focuses on the cause of the problem, and not just the symptoms. By restoring normal function to the musculoskeletal system, chiropractors play a major part in relieving disorders, and any accompanying pain or discomfort, arising from accidents, stress, lack of exercise, poor posture, illness and the everyday wear and tear that happens to all of us.

Anyone can experience the amazing benefits of Chiropractic

1) Who can benefit from Chiropractic?


Many people have conditions which result from a less than perfectly functioning spine and nervous system. Chiropractic deals with the elimination of these which includes treatment for back, arm, or leg pain, as well as headaches, trapped nerves and sports injuries. Other conditions which can be relived are IBS, Infantile Colic and severe indigestion.

2) How does Chiropractic work?


Adjustment techniques are used on the spine and other joints of the body to restore normal joint movement and relieve pain. These adjustments promote optimal function of the spine and spinal nerves restoring health.

3) What is an Adjustment?


An adjustment generally involves a quick thrust to a joint in a specific direction to restore proper movement. Most methods are done through the use of hands, a hand-held instrument or a device on our table. There are various ways to adjust the spine and the technique used will be specific to each patient (these include very gentle procedures for elderly people and children).

4) Will the treatment hurt?


Chiropractic treatment is usually painless unless an area is inflamed (in which case the treatment will be modified). You may hear a “clicking” or “popping” sound when your joints are being adjusted – do not worry. This is absolutely normal and is just a gas bubble being released from the joint. You should feel more energetic after the adjustment, although you might experience some reaction to treatment including increased discomfort or stiffness for a day or so. Your chiropractor will be able to explain all side-effects to you. These are generally minimal.

5) Will my insurance pay for Chiropractic?


Most major insurance companies pay for Chiropractic services. You will have to be in contact with your individual insurance company to find out if they cover you. We are contracted into BUPA, PPP, WPA, while many others pay for our services.

6) How many treatments will I need?


The number of treatments required will depend on many factors – for example, how long you have had the problem, how serious your condition might be, your age, and your overall level of health and fitness. Every person reacts differently to treatment so it is impossible to predict exactly how many treatments will be needed. It generally takes a series of treatments for long-term changes to occur. Your chiropractor will be able to give a guide to the number of treatments required after your initial examination.

7) How do I know I need Chiropractic care?


Pain is often what first brings a person into a chiropractic office, however, if a condition is caught before this stage the amount of treatment required is often greatly reduced, and pain can probably be avoided. Conditions such as twinges, stiffness, pins and needles, headaches, poor posture, and an uneven gait (method of walking) can indicate a possible problem within the spine. It would be wonderful if everyone had their spine checked at stages throughout the year, like a MOT for your spine, to catch small problems before they have a chance to become bigger and more serious.

8) Can I have Chiropractic care after back or neck surgery?


Yes. The chiropractor will alter the treatment to ensure that no stresses will be placed on a vulnerable part of your spine (after surgery people often find problems above or below the affected area). With the rest of the spine functioning optimally due to treatment, less stress will be put on the vulnerable segments.

9) Can I have Chiropractic care while pregnant?


Yes. Many pregnant women benefit from chiropractic care. Your body changes rapidly, altering your centre of gravity and your gait. This in turn stresses your spine and other joints. With chiropractic care these areas can be balanced, decreasing the levels of discomfort.
