Chiropractic FAQs
What does a chiropractor do?
A chiropractor assesses the musculoskeletal system, with a focus on the spine, joints, posture, and movement. Chiropractic care may include adjustments and supporting modalities to improve joint function, mobility, and comfort for suitable cases.
When should I see a chiropractor?
You may consider seeing a chiropractor if you have muscle or joint discomfort, recurring aches, stiffness, posture concerns, or movement limitations. If your symptoms suggest a condition that needs medical review, your chiropractor should advise you on the appropriate next step.
Is chiropractic treatment painful?
Chiropractic adjustment should not be painful for most patients. If an injury is recent or the area is sensitive, some muscles and ligaments may feel guarded. Your chiropractor will assess your concerns before treatment and explain what to expect.
Are X-rays required for every new patient?
No. X-rays are not automatic. They may be prescribed if your chiropractor needs more information before recommending a customised treatment programme or if there is a need to rule out issues that are not suitable for chiropractic care.
What is a chiropractic adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment uses the chiropractor's hands or a small instrument to apply a controlled force to selected spinal joints. A cracking or popping sound may occur when gas is released from the joint.
Do you have female chiropractors?
Yes. The page states that Healing Hands has male and female chiropractors. It also notes that female chiropractors are stationed at Ang Mo Kio and other clinics, subject to schedule availability.
Are neck adjustments safe?
Your chiropractor should assess your health history, symptoms, and comfort level before recommending any adjustment. If a neck adjustment is not suitable, your chiropractor can explain alternatives or refer you for medical review when needed.
