How long is chiropractic care needed?

Chiropractic care duration varies based on your needs. Persistent spinal issues may require ongoing support for optimal function. Many find periodic checkups beneficial for maintaining good health, while some seek care during pain episodes. The choice to benefit from chiropractic care is yours.

Is chiropractic adjustment painful?

Chiropractic adjustments are typically not painful. Most people find them relaxing. Some adjustments might produce a popping sound as joints release gas upon spinal movement restoration. Various techniques, including handheld instruments, are used for gentle, safe adjustments.

What results can I expect?

Individual experiences vary, but most can expect benefits shortly after starting chiropractic care, improving with continued sessions. Research indicates that chiropractic care is effective, economical, and provides longer-lasting results for spinal disorders compared to other healthcare options.

The difference between Chiropractic and Physiotherapy?

Chiropractic focuses on joint alignment and movement, addressing nerve and muscle problems. Physiotherapy emphasizes exercises but may overlook joint movement. The approach here combines alignment and motion restoration in-office with tailored exercises for comprehensive results.

Approximately how much does a Chiropractic session cost?

Regular visits cost $50, laser therapy and shockwave therapy are $50, an initial consultation is $75, and a spinal X-ray is $50.

What should you wear to a session?

You can wear your own clothes. Remove bulky items like heavy jackets. Comfortable attire is recommended, and though dresses are not ideal, adjustments can still be accommodated.

Do I need a GP referral for chiropractic care?

Referral is not required as chiropractors are primary healthcare providers. However, some GPs refer patients due to successful results in addressing low back pain, neck pain, and headaches.

What is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical therapy that gently stretches the spine and relieves pressure on the spinal discs. This process promotes the movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs, allowing them to heal and reduce pain.
What Conditions Can be Treated with Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression therapy is effective for a variety of conditions, including disc bulges, herniated discs, sciatica, leg pain, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, and spinal stenosis. If you’re experiencing chronic back pain or other symptoms related to these conditions, spinal decompression could be the answer.
How Do I Know I'm a Good Candidate for Spinal Decompression?
Most individuals with chronic back or leg pain can benefit from spinal decompression. However, a thorough evaluation by a qualified health practitioner is necessary to determine if this treatment is right for you. Factors such as the severity of your condition, medical history, imaging such as x-ray or MRI and overall health will be considered.
How Long Does a Spinal Decompression Session Last?
A typical spinal decompression session lasts about 20to 25 minutes. During this time, you’ll experience gentle stretching and relaxation, with most patients finding the process comfortable and soothing.
How Many Treatment Sessions Are Needed? How Long is the Treatment Plan?
The number of sessions required varies depending on the severity of your condition. Generally, a treatment plan consists of 24 sessions over a period of 12 weeks.
