WHOLESOME HEALTH CHIROPRACTRIC & WELL BEING CENTRE

FAQs

Here are some answer to common questions we get asked…

Are chiropractic adjustments safe?

Why do joints sometimes make a ‘click’ or ‘pop’?

The sound you may hear during an adjustment is simply gas being released from the joint as pressure changes — similar to cracking your knuckles. It’s completely normal and not harmful.

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 have to be “in pain” to see a chiropractor?

Not at all. Many people choose chiropractic care to improve movement, posture, and overall wellbeing — not just for pain relief.

Can osteopathy help with digestive issues?

Osteopathy may help support digestive function by improving movement, circulation, and reducing tension around the abdomen. Many people seek care for symptoms like bloating, discomfort, or sluggish digestion.

What is a visceral release?

A visceral release involves subtle techniques to encourage normal movement and reduce tension around the organs and surrounding tissues – potentially helping with the digestive system. This can help improve comfort, mobility, and overall function.

What does visceral treatment feel like?

Treatment is gentle and often involves light pressure on the abdomen or other areas of the body. Many patients find it relaxing and subtle.

Can visceral osteopathy help after surgery?

Yes – it can be useful in supporting the body after surgery by working gently with scar tissue and helping restore movement, once appropriate to do so.

Is chiropractic safe? Are these treatments safe?

Yes – when performed by a qualified and registered practitioner, such as those at our clinic, both Chiropractic and Osteopathy are 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.

Can I bring scans or X-rays to my appointment?

Yes – if you have any relevant imaging, we’re happy to review it as part of your assessment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot speak highly enough of Steph and the team at Wholesome Health Chiropractic. I've undergone a short course of treatment and  am missing the weekly appointments now I'm at maintenance stage! From the friendly receptionists ready with a cup of tea ( and biscuits & chocolates) in a cosy waiting room, to the treatment , everyone is welcoming and proffessional in an unstuffy way. Steph's chiropractic skill is knowledgeable, quick and efficient , with a flexible, client centred approach. But it is her broader knowledge of health and depth as a person that has made my treatments multi-layered. Our conversations have been enjoyable and thought provoking and I can say that not just my pain has been dealt with but other aspects of life have been enhanced. I've felt very taken care of in ways I didn't expect. This truly is a holistic practice and I wish them well deserved success. For anyone that has identified the need for life coaching/therapy or art & creativity sessions please see my leaflets in reception or ask for my contact number, Warmly, Liana.
