An adjustment is a quick, gentle, specific movement done by hand to an area of the spine that isn’t moving as it should. The adjustment restores function to that area of the spine, and also has a neurological effect that improves the communication of the body and the brain.

As long as you can move comfortably, you can pretty much wear what you like. I can even deal with turtle neck jumpers! Although it's easier if you don’t wear one… Nothing too thick if possible, or wear layers you can take off. Your examination will be through your clothing.

At your first visit, time will be saved for your first treatment. If you are happy with everything we discuss, we can start. Very rarely, we may need additional tests or information. This will be explained if that is the case for you.

Vitalistic chiropractic care focuses on restoring and maintaining the body's natural balance and function. Your body has an innate ability to heal itself. The problem we have is that the modern world we live in messes with this. Through physical stress, be that a desk job or a car crash. Mental and emotional stress, our bodies are in a state of fight or flight most of the time. And finally, chemical stress, that could be the air we breathe, the water we drink, chemicals in our food, chemicals on our food - the list goes on… our goal is to remove interference to this process, allowing the body to express its full potential and heal, function and thrive.

A chiropractor will look at how your spinal health and function are affecting your nervous system, which can then have a knock-on effect on so many other areas of your health and wellbeing, including pain and lack of function.

We use techniques involving our hands to improve the function of your spine and reduce tension patterns in your body, which may be causing you problems. 

Chiropractic is a form of natural, holistic healthcare that focuses on restoring and maintaining good health.

Chiropractic adjustments are not painful. Sometimes when someone comes in already in a lot pain, we may need to work through areas that are already painful and inflamed. In these situations, we will adapt the adjustments to you to make them as comfortable as possible.

Every case is unique, and the rate at which you experience improvement can vary. Some patients may notice significant changes after a single visit, while others may require more extensive care. We will work together to plan your care.

No. Chiropractic care can be incredible at relieving pain. I remember someone once saying to me, going to see a chiropractor to sort out pain is like a bank robber only stealing the pens. It is the tip of the iceberg of what chiropractic has to offer!

Yes. Chiropractic care is widely recognised as one of the safest and most effective forms of complementary healthcare. It is a regulated profession, the same as Medical doctors and Dentists. Chiropractors are highly trained professionals who use gentle, non-invasive techniques to promote healing and wellness.

Not all adjustments require “Clicking” but the clicking noise is a bubble of gas forming in the oily synovial fluid around your joints. This can happen when the pressure in that joint quickly changes, creating a vacuum. The bubble pops in a fraction of a second and makes a clicking or popping noise.
