FAQs
How Can We Help?
Find answers to common questions about your first visit, our services, pricing and appointments.
01
Getting Started
What happens during my first chiropractic visit?
Your first visit starts with a spinal/posture analysis. You then have a one-to-one consultation so your chiropractor can understand your concerns, health history and goals, followed by a physical assessment. Your chiropractor will explain the findings and, where clinically appropriate, an adjustment may be performed. X-rays are not automatic. They may be recommended when additional diagnostic information is clinically needed.
What To Expect On Your First Visit →
How long does my first chiropractic appointment take?
Your initial chiropractic consultation is approximately 45 minutes. This allows time for consultation, assessment, spinal/posture analysis and discussion of the findings and appropriate next steps.
Do I need to make an appointment?
We recommend booking in advance so your preferred clinic can reserve sufficient time for your visit. You can book or enquire through WhatsApp, phone or our online contact form.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily. Your chiropractor or therapist may ask you to perform simple movements during the assessment, so clothing that does not restrict movement is ideal.

Chiropractic Care
Is chiropractic treatment safe?
Chiropractic care should begin with an appropriate assessment. Your chiropractor will review your condition, health history and any relevant findings before determining whether chiropractic treatment is appropriate for you. Where further investigation is required, additional imaging or referral may be recommended.
Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?
Chiropractic adjustments are generally performed using controlled techniques appropriate to the individual. Some people may experience temporary soreness or stiffness after treatment, particularly when beginning care. Tell your chiropractor if you experience discomfort or have any concerns.
Why do I sometimes hear a cracking or popping sound?
The sound that may occur during an adjustment is associated with changes in pressure within a joint. It is not the sound of bones cracking. A chiropractic adjustment does not need to produce a sound to be effective.
How many chiropractic sessions will I need?
There is no single number that applies to everyone. The recommended frequency and duration of care depend on your condition, assessment findings, goals and response to care. Your chiropractor will discuss their recommendations with you after assessing your individual situation.
Will I need an X-ray?
Not every patient requires an X-ray. Your chiropractor may recommend imaging when it is clinically appropriate and additional information is needed to assess your condition or guide your care.
