FAQs

Do chiropractors work on spinal manipulation only?

Some traditional chiropractors only work on spinal manipulation. However in line with the current evidence based practice, spinal mobilizations and a range of treatment modalities eg: dry needling, soft tissue technique are also used by Chiropractors at SustainHealth.

Do you do EPC referral for chiropractic?

Yes. You need to go to your GP to get a referral.

Is it ok to see a chiropractor if I am pregnant?

Yes it is safe to have Chiropractic treatments whilst pregnant. The developing foetus is well protected in its uterine bubble of amniotic fluid. Adjustments to the spine and pelvis do not interfere with this and there are many other techniques we can use that are safe.

Can Acupuncture work with Chiropractic?

Acupuncture complements Chiropractic to help with the rehabilitation process. They benefit each other to maximise the treatment that you are receiving.

Will there be any adverse reactions to chiro adjustments?

Just as with any treatment, there is a possibility of adverse reaction after Chiropractic adjustments, but the adverse events are generally very mild e.g. soreness after treatment. And with severe adverse events, they are very rare. Our Chiropractors will discuss this in detail and obtain your informed consent prior to any treatment given.
