What is chiropractic?

Chiropractic focuses on the spine and nervous system, helping improve communication within the body. By addressing areas of restriction and tension, care supports better movement, function and healing ability.

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy looks at the body as a whole, working with muscles, joints and connective tissues. Treatment aims to improve mobility, reduce tension and support the body’s natural ability to function as one integrated system.

What is Cranial Osteopathy?

Cranial Osteopathy is a very gentle, hands-on approach that supports deep relaxation and nervous system balance. It works subtly with the body’s natural rhythms to help release tension and promote calm and wellbeing.

All of our treatments are:

  • Safe and specific
  • Adjusting/manipulating the spine
  • Treating the body as a whole
  • The nervous system working at its best
  • Helping the body to heal
  • Anyone with a spine
  • Suitable for babies, children and the elderly
  • Helpful for people with arthritis and osteoporosis

Chiropractic or Osteopathy, which treatment is right for me?

At Wholesome Health, we’re fortunate to have practitioners that have years of experience and a variety of techniques they use. All our Chiropractors and Osteopaths use structural adjusting (manipulation), Visceral and Cranial releases within their treatments (with optional dry needing). Some of our clients even see both!

FAQs

Here are some answer to common question we get asked…

What’s the difference between chiropractic and osteopathy?

Both chiropractic and osteopathy focus on improving movement, reducing pain, and supporting your body’s natural healing. Chiropractors often focus more on the spine and nervous system, while osteopaths take a slightly broader, whole-body approach including muscles, joints, and circulation. We offer both, and our practitioners all work very similarly.  Whichever you choose, you’ll be in safe hands.

How do I know whether to see a chiropractor or an osteopath?

If you’re unsure which treatment may be best for you, give us a call! We’ll recommend the most appropriate practitioner based on your symptoms, history, and goals. Many conditions can be treated effectively by either approach – and you can always try both!

What conditions do you treat?

All our practitioners are trained to assess, diagnose and help manage a wide range of joint, muscular, and nerve conditions. Common concerns include back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint problems, sciatica and postural issues. We also focus on preventative care and supporting overall well-being – so even if you’re not in pain, you may still benefit from care!

Do I need a GP referral?

No – you can book directly with us. If we feel you need further investigation or referral, we’ll guide you appropriately.

What happens at the first appointment?

Your first visit includes a full consultation, medical history, examination, and where appropriate treatment. We’ll also explain our findings clearly and outline a plan tailored to you.

Do I have to take my clothes off to be treated?

Not usually. We ask that you wear loose/stretchy and comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily (gym clothes are perfect!). In some cases, you may be asked to remove an outer layer (like a jumper or coat), but you will always be given privacy and your dignity will be respected at all times.

Is treatment safe?

Yes. All care is tailored to you and delivered by fully qualified, registered practitioners. We always explain what we’re doing and ensure you feel comfortable throughout.

Do adjustments (manipulation) hurt?

Adjustments are generally gentle and tailored to your comfort. Most people feel relief afterwards, though some may experience mild soreness – similar to post-exercise stiffness – especially if it’s your first time or your body is adapting. We always check in with how you’re feeling and adapt techniques as needed.

I’ve got osteoporosis, can I be treated?

Yes, in most cases. We take osteoporosis and other health conditions into account when planning your care, and adapt our techniques to ensure safety. A full assessment will help us determine the best approach and whether chiropractic care is suitable for you.

How many sessions will I need?

Every person is different, so the number of treatments will depend on your individual problem, clinical findings and the goals you have for care.  After your initial assessment, together we’ll create a personalised plan that we’ll review regularly. Some people are more responsive to treatment while others may require ongoing care for chronic issues or for well-being care.

Do I need to sign up for a whole treatment plan?

Not at all. You’re in control of your care. We’ll always recommend what we believe is best for your health, but the choice is yours. Some people come for short-term help, others choose ongoing well-being care – we support whatever works for you.

What if your treatments can’t help me?

If we believe that your condition would be better managed by another healthcare professional, we’ll always be honest and guide you in the right direction. Your well-being is our priority, and we’re happy to work alongside your GP or other practitioners where needed.
