FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Chiropractic care and how does it work?
Chiropractic care is a natural approach to supporting your spine, joints, and nervous system. Through gentle adjustments and muscle work, chiropractors restore alignment, ease tension, and improve movement. This helps reduce pain, support nervous system function, and enhance your body’s ability to heal naturally.
What sort of things do chiropractors see?
Chiropractors help with back and neck pain, headaches, migraines, sciatica, joint issues (shoulders, hips, ankles), nerve irritation (tingling or numbness), posture concerns, and sports-related injuries. Care is also about overall wellbeing, improving how your body moves, and helping prevent future injuries.
Does chiropractic hurt?
Adjustments are generally very gentle and most people find them comfortable. Sometimes you may feel mild soreness afterwards, similar to starting a new workout, but this usually settles quickly. My focus is always on keeping care safe, effective, and comfortable so you feel at ease.
Do we need to do the “cracking”?
Not always! The ‘cracking’ sound is just a joint releasing, like opening a jar. It often happens during care, but I have plenty of gentle approaches that don’t involve that sound if you’d prefer.
Why do I need multiple sessions?
The number of visits varies for each person. Some feel relief in just a few sessions, while others with more complex concerns benefit from ongoing care. I’ll take the time to understand your history, complete an assessment, and create a plan that best supports your goals.
Why might I need X-rays?
X-rays can give us a clearer picture of your spine and overall health. They help us diagnose, assess, and plan your care more effectively. Just like a mechanic looks under the hood, X-rays let us see what’s happening so we can provide the safest and most targeted support.
Is chiropractic covered by health insurance?
Yes, many health funds include chiropractic care, though the level of cover varies. Some contribute towards a set number of visits while others cover part of the cost. It’s always best to check with your health fund so you know exactly what’s included.
