Common Questions

Question 1

What are symptoms?

Accepted Answer

People seek chiropractic care for a range of symptoms affecting the spine, joints and nerves, including back or neck pain, stiffness, headaches, pain that travels into the arms or legs, numbness or tingling, muscle tightness, and reduced movement. Symptoms may develop gradually or appear after injury, poor posture or prolonged sitting.

Question 2

How effective is chiropractic treatment?

Accepted Answer

Chiropractic treatment is widely used to help manage back and neck pain, headaches, joint problems and nerve-related symptoms. Many people experience improved movement and reduced pain, often within a short period of time, although results vary depending on the condition and individual.

Question 3

Is the treatment painful?

Accepted Answer

The treatment provided by chiropractors is usually painless, unless there is inflammation in the area. In order to make all patients as comfortable as possible and provide the best possible experience our treatments are modified and structured around the individual needs of the patient. It is perfectly natural if you feel stiffness or feel tired after the initial treatment; this is a natural response to the manipulation of the spine. We’ve found through our experience that every patient responds slightly differently to treatment.

Question 4

Why do I need to do exercises?

Accepted Answer

Exercises help support and maintain the improvements made during chiropractic treatment. While adjustments improve joint movement and alignment, exercises strengthen the muscles that support the spine, helping your body heal more effectively and reducing the risk of future problems. Following your exercise plan can also help you recover faster and achieve longer-lasting results.

Question 5

Can chiropractors help osteoporosis?

Accepted Answer

Osteoporosis affects the bones making them brittle and weak due to lack of calcium, this is particularly common in women after the menopause. Our chiropractors are able to carry out different treatments to help ease the pain that osteoporosis can cause, as well as provide you with advice and guidance on methods to help fight the problem. Chiropractic care in this case can help keep joints flexible, helping to improve balance and strength and minimising the risk of falling.

Question 6

Can children have chiropractic treatment?

Accepted Answer

Children of all ages can benefit from chiropractic treatment. If after careful assessment the chiropractor feels treatment may be beneficial then very gentle specialist paediatric methods can be used to help restore movement and flexibility to the child’s spine, joints and muscles.

Question 7

How often will I need treatment? When should I be checked?

Accepted Answer

Chiropractic care focuses on reducing pain, improving movement and supporting long-term correction. Treatment is tailored to each person and often starts more frequently, with many patients noticing improvement within 1–2 weeks. As symptoms improve, visits are reduced, with optional check-ups to help maintain results.

Question 8

What about a good diet and exercise?

Accepted Answer

A balanced diet and regular exercise will certainly help your condition, but will not necessarily deal with an existing problem in the same way as chiropractic method. While exercise will increase your fitness and core strength, chiropractic can pinpoint problem areas that are reducing your body’s efficiency and flexibility.

Question 9

Can I get over treated?

Accepted Answer

Every chiropractor we employ is well trained and uses their expertise to diagnose your problem, and evaluate when it is appropriate to give treatment and, more importantly, when it’s not. Every case is different, but it is unlikely that you will be over exposed.
