FAQ'S

Chiropractic care is a healthcare discipline that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. It emphasises manual adjustment and manipulation of the spine to restore proper alignment, function, alleviate pain and nerve interference.

Chiropractic treatment typically involves manual adjustments or manipulations of the spine and other joints. These adjustments aim to improve spinal alignment, relieve nerve pressure, reduce inflammation, and promote the body's natural healing process.

Chiropractic care can effectively treat a wide range of conditions, including

• Back pain

• Neck pain

• Headaches

• Sciatica,

• Joint pain

• Sports injuries

and many more musculoskeletal issues.

Chiropractic care is suitable for people of all ages, from infants to the elderly. Chiropractors are trained to adapt their techniques and approaches based on the patient's age and condition. For children, paediatric chiropractic care focuses on gentle adjustments and specialised care.

During your initial consultation at Linnet Chiropractic, you can expect a comprehensive assessment of your condition by one of our experienced chiropractors and that should last from 40mins to 1 hour.

This assessment typically includes a review of your medical history, a physical examination, and an evaluation of your current symptoms and limitations. Based on this assessment, we will work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan. We will also provide education on your condition and how chiropractic care can help, and answer any questions you may have.

Our goal is to ensure that you feel informed, comfortable, and empowered to take an active role in your recovery journey.

The duration of a chiropractic session can vary depending on the complexity of your condition and the treatments involved. On average, a session may last between 15 to 30 minutes. However, your chiropractor will provide you with a more accurate estimate based on your specific needs.

At our chiropractic clinic, we prioritise patient satisfaction. Our focus is on providing personalised treatment until our patients are happy with their progress. We do not have prepaid packages, ensuring that our care remains flexible and tailored to individual needs.

The number of chiropractic sessions required depends on the nature and severity of your condition. Some individuals may experience relief after just a few sessions, while others may require ongoing care. Your chiropractor will evaluate your progress and recommend a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Chiropractic treatment is generally considered safe when performed by a licensed and trained chiropractor. The techniques used are non-invasive and drug-free, making it a low-risk treatment option. However, as with any medical procedure, there may be some risks or contraindications depending on your specific health condition.

Chiropractic adjustments are usually not painful. While you may experience some mild discomfort or soreness after an adjustment, the treatment itself is typically gentle and should not cause significant pain. Your chiropractor will work with you to ensure your comfort during the session.
