Our chiropractors are experienced in managing a range of conditions. These conditions may affect your spine, nervous system, and well-being. Chiropractic care offers a natural approach to help ease pain and discomfort.
Bad posture is a common issue that may contribute to long-term health problems. When the spine is not aligned correctly, it can place unnecessary strain on muscles, joints, and ligaments. This can potentially lead to back pain, headaches, and even digestive issues.
Our chiropractors may help address bad posture through targeted adjustments and exercises. These are aimed at improving spinal alignment and body mechanics. By improving posture, we aim to reduce the risk of more serious issues.
Vertigo, a sensation of dizziness and imbalance. It can be related to issues with the inner ear or the spine, particularly in the neck area. Chiropractic care may provide relief for vertigo. This is because our chiropractors try to realign the cervical spine. This potentially reduces nerve interference and improving blood flow.
Many patients report improvements in their vertigo symptoms with regular chiropractic care. Our approach focuses on addressing the underlying factors that may contribute to vertigo. Although results may vary, we aim to offer a potential pathway to relief.
A pinched nerve occurs when tissues, such as bones, muscles, or tendons, apply pressure to a nerve. This may cause pain, numbness, or tingling in the affected area. Pinched nerves are common in the back and neck.
Chiropractic care may help alleviate this pressure. This is done by working to realign the spine and reduce inflammation. Our chiropractors aim to release tension on the nerve, providing potential relief. Our treatment also includes supporting long-term healing, although outcomes can vary.
A bulging disc occurs when one of the spinal discs shifts out of its normal position. This can potentially press on nearby nerves. This condition may cause discomfort or radiating pain in the back, legs, or arms.
Chiropractic adjustments may provide a non-invasive option for managing bulging disc symptoms. Treatment may encourage proper alignment and reducing nerve compression. Through adjustments and exercises, treatment may help relieve pain and support spinal health.
Sciatica is a condition that occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes compressed or irritated. This nerve runs from the lower back to the legs. This may result in sharp pain, tingling, or numbness that radiates down one or both legs.
Chiropractic care may be a helpful approach for managing sciatica. This is because treatment seeks to address underlying spinal misalignments or disc issues causing nerve pressure. Our chiropractors use gentle adjustments. These aim to reduce this pressure, potentially easing discomfort and supporting nerve healing.
A herniated disc happens when the inner material of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in its tougher outer layer. This condition may cause pain in the back, neck, or limbs, depending on the location of the herniation.
Chiropractic care may be beneficial for those managing herniated disc pain. Chiropractors focus on spinal alignment and reducing pressure on the affected disc. We provide gentle adjustments that aim to improve mobility, and promote natural healing.
We’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you understand our services. Whether you're new to chiropractic care or looking for more information, we're here to help!
On your first visit, you can expect a thorough consultation and assessment with one of our chiropractors. We will take the time to discuss your health history, current concerns, and any specific symptoms you may be experiencing.
This may include a physical examination to assess your posture, range of motion, and spinal alignment. The goal is to understand your condition fully so we can recommend the most suitable course of action. Treatments are not typically performed during the first visit unless it's deemed appropriate after the assessment.
Yes, we may offer x-rays as part of our diagnostic process, depending on your condition. X-rays help us gain a clearer picture of your spinal alignment and identify any underlying issues that might not be immediately visible through a physical exam alone.
An x-ray may be recommended if you’ve had a recent injury, are experiencing significant pain, or if there are concerns about structural abnormalities in your spine.
At our clinic, we strive to make chiropractic care accessible, but we do not currently offer bulk billing services. However, we can assist you in understanding your health insurance coverage and any out-of-pocket expenses you may incur. It’s always a good idea to check with your private health insurance provider to see what chiropractic benefits may be available to you.

Your GP must refer you for treatment under the EPC program, and the number of sessions covered is limited. Please check with your GP and our clinic for more details on eligibility and coverage.
