Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline focused on diagnosing and treating neuromuscular
disorders, primarily through manual adjustments and manipulations of the spine. Its goal is to
reduce pain, improve functionality, and support the body's natural ability to heal itself.
Chiropractic care involves a series of manual adjustments to the spine and other joints,
performed by a trained chiropractor. These adjustments are designed to correct misalignments,
alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and promote overall health. The care plan may also include
exercises lifestyle advice and other supportive therapies tailored to your specific needs.
Chiropractic care can help a wide range of conditions, including back pain, neck pain,
headaches, and joint issues. It is also beneficial for improving overall spinal health and
maintaining optimal physical function. A consultation with our chiropractor can determine if
chiropractic care is suitable for your situation.
The time it takes to see improvements varies depending on the individual and the nature of the
condition being treated. Some patients experience relief after just a few sessions, while others
may require several weeks or months of consistent care. Your chiropractor will provide a
personalised treatment plan and timeline based on your specific needs.
Chiropractic primarily focuses on spinal adjustments and on the relationship between the spine
and the nervous system, aiming to correct misalignment and improve overall health.
Physiotherapy, on the other hand emphasises the rehabilitation of physical impairments and
disabilities through exercise, manual therapy, and other modalities. Both can complement each
other in treating various conditions and enhancing overall well-being.
The cracking or popping sound you might hear during an adjustment is caused by the release of
gas bubbles from the joints as they are adjusted. This is a normal occurrence and typically
painless. It is like the sound you hear when cracking your knuckles.
Car parts adjustments are generally painless. Some patients may experience mild discomfort
during the adjustment or slight soreness afterwards, similar to what you might feel after
exercising. This is usually temporary and part of the body's natural healing process.
The frequency of chiropractic visits depends on your individual condition and treatment goals.
Initially more frequent visits may be necessary to address acute issues. As your condition
improves, visits can be spaced out. Your chiropractor will recommend a schedule that best
supports our recovery and long-term health.
Maintenance care involves regular chiropractic visits to keep your spine and joints functioning
optimally even after your initial condition has improved. this ongoing care help prevent the
recurrence of issues, supports overall wellness, and promotes long term health. Your
chiropractor will tailor a maintenance plan to suit your lifestyle and health needs.
When necessary, we will communicate with other healthcare professionals for referral or as
