Chiropractic is a science that deals with conditions in relation to musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Many people are suffering from headache, neck pain, shoulder pain and low back pain at some point in their lives. Chiropractors utilize manual techniques to alleviate your pain and offer you the better quality of life without using drug.

Chiropractic treatment is an umbrella term which Chiropractors use multiple modalities to treat people with a variety of musculoskeletal conditions such as neck pain, lower back pain and shoulder pain. Spinal manipulation is one of the most excellent methods to relieve pain, restore motion and joint function. Active release technique, soft tissue mobilisation, dry needling, cupping and rehabilitation are always combined with Chiropractic manipulation to maximise the treatment outcome.

The initial consultation takes around 30-40 minutes and the following consultation is around 15-20 minutes. The first visit takes longer because it takes time to do history taking and physical examinations.

When the spinal column misaligns (subluxation), it may result in joint dysfunctions, motion restrictions, and physiological dysfunctions. Pain is not the only presentation of spinal subluxation, muscle balance and even the organ function can also be affected. Chiropractic manipulation or adjustment can manually correct the misaligned joint to restore spinal function and motion, and alleviate pain.  

When a synovial joint is gapped or opened during an adjustment, the gas is suddenly released and you will hear a distinctive popping sound. However, if you are not comfortable with it, there are many varied techniques that can be utilized to improve the same conditions.
