Most people find chiropractic treatment comfortable, and many report feeling relief or improved movement afterwards. Some techniques involve gentle pressure, while others may involve a quick, controlled movement of a joint.

You may experience mild soreness afterwards, similar to how you might feel after exercising. This is usually short-lived and settles within a day or two.

If you are feeling anxious or uncomfortable at any point, please let your chiropractor know. We will explain each step of your treatment and can adapt our approach to suit your comfort.

Chiropractic care is considered a safe treatment option when provided by a qualified and registered chiropractor. Before beginning any treatment, we will carry out a thorough consultation, including a detailed health history and examination, to determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you.

Like many healthcare treatments, some people experience mild, temporary side effects after treatment, such as soreness or stiffness, which usually settle within 24–48 hours. Your chiropractor will explain the potential benefits and risks of any recommended treatment and answer any questions before you give your consent.

The popping or cracking sound you may hear during some chiropractic adjustments is completely normal. It is not your bones cracking or moving back into place.

The sound is caused by a small release of gas bubbles within the fluid of a joint when pressure changes during an adjustment. This is similar to the sound made when cracking your knuckles.

Not every adjustment produces this sound, and hearing a pop is not an indication of whether the treatment has been effective.

We take a thorough history, examine you, check your posture and take a few photos. By the end you will understand what is going on and how we can help.

No. You do not need a referral from your GP to see a chiropractor.

Many people choose to book directly with us. During your initial appointment, we will assess your symptoms and discuss whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you.

If we believe another healthcare professional is better placed to help, or if further investigations are required, we will explain this and, with your consent, communicate with your GP or refer you to the appropriate healthcare provider.

Comfortable clothing you can move in is ideal. Think the sort of thing you would wear to the gym or a walk.

It depends on you and what we find. After your first visit we give you a clear plan with set goals, so you always know where you are and what comes next. Care is more regular at the start, then eases off as you improve.
