Frequently Asked Questions
Chiropractic care is a hands-on, non-invasive healthcare approach focused on the spine, nervous system, and overall body function. It aims to restore proper alignment, improve mobility, and support your body’s natural ability to heal — helping you move and feel better.
Not at all. While many people come to us for help with pain, chiropractic care is also used for general wellbeing, posture improvement, mobility support, and injury prevention. We also offer ongoing care plans to help maintain your health and function.
Chiropractic can support people with a wide range of conditions, including:
Back pain and neck pain
Headaches and migraines
Sciatica
Joint stiffness and muscle tension
Poor posture
Sports injuries
Plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and other tendon issues (with shockwave therapy)
Your first visit includes a detailed consultation, full medical history, and physical examination. This helps us understand the root of your problem. If necessary, we may refer you for imaging such as X-rays. Treatment may begin during your second visit after we’ve reviewed your case and explained your personalised care plan.
Yes — when performed by a qualified professional, chiropractic care is very safe. We tailor each treatment to your specific needs and ensure you’re comfortable every step of the way. All our chiropractors are trained to a high standard and fully registered.
Not always. X-rays are only recommended when clinically necessary — for example, if there’s a history of trauma, specific structural concerns, or unexplained symptoms. If we believe imaging is needed, we’ll explain why and arrange this with your consent.
Most chiropractic techniques are gentle and should not be painful. Some people may feel mild soreness after an adjustment or soft tissue work — similar to post-exercise discomfort. This usually passes quickly and is a natural part of the healing process.
This varies depending on your condition, goals, and how your body responds. After your initial assessment, we’ll provide a clear, tailored care plan and explain how many sessions are recommended to reach your goals and maintain long-term results.
Shockwave therapy is a modern, non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in soft tissues. It’s particularly effective for chronic tendon issues like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, and more. It helps break down scar tissue, improve blood flow, and reduce pain.
No referral is needed. You can book directly with us — just call, email, fill in the contact form or visit our clinic to get started.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. We may need access to areas such as your back, neck, or hips, so sportswear or casual clothes are ideal. You can also bring shorts or a vest top if you prefer.
