WHOLESOME HEALTH CHIROPRACTRIC & WELL BEING CENTRE
FAQs
Here are some answer to common questions we get asked…
Are chiropractic adjustments safe?
How many treatments 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.
What can chiropractors treat?
Chiropractors are trained to assess, diagnose and help manage a wide range of musculoskeletal 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 chiropractic adjustments 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.
Is chiropractic safe?
Yes – when performed by a qualified and registered chiropractor, such as those at our clinic, chiropractic care is considered safe and effective. We carry out a thorough consultation and assessment to ensure it’s appropriate for you, and we’re always happy to discuss any concerns you may have.
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.
Can I bring a friend?
Absolutely. If it helps you feel more comfortable, you’re welcome to bring a friend or family member along to your appointment. Many people appreciate having someone with them, especially for their first visit.
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.
How much does it cost?
Our fees vary depending on the type of appointment (initial consultation, follow-ups, etc.). You can find full details on our website or contact us directly – we’re always happy to talk through costs and help you understand what to expect.
Can babies be treated?
Yes, babies and children can benefit from chiropractic care. We use very gentle techniques suitable for little ones, and care is always tailored to their age and needs. Many parents bring their babies in for help with things like feeding difficulties, unsettled behaviour, or to support development.
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.
What if chiropractic 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.
