According to the Ministry of Health (MOH) in Singapore, Chiropractic care is a form of alternative medicine involving the manual adjustments of the body. Contrary to popular belief, Chiropractic care is more than just the adjustment of bones. It involves looking at the human body as a whole, with extra focus given to the spine. This is because spinal health connects all our body systems, from our brain to the bottom of our feet via nerves, making it a priority.

We know this is a common concern, and we are happy to tell you that the answer is: No!

Furthermore, our Chiropractic methods do not require any spinal decompression, SOT therapy, sports massage, shockwave therapy, soft tissue therapy or other painful techniques when adjusting your neck pain, headaches pain, vertigo, and other conditions.

Our concepts focus on light touching, speed and specificity, requiring fewer interventions to help address and manage your pains. We also use functional therapy (functional rehabilitation) to help mitigate the risk of possible complications and prevent further aggravation.

The initial consultation will take approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. This is because we want to understand your condition in detail and carry out the necessary scans to gain an understanding of your condition.

If the chiropractor can assist in your case, they will then send you for an x-ray scan. Following that, the next appointment will provide you with your test results which will take approximately 45 minutes.

Follow-up appointments for future sessions will take around 20-35 minutes, depending on a case-by-case basis.

Absolutely! Chiropractic care can help prevent interference in your nervous system with proper therapy to help with the efficiency and overall function of the human body.

This is similar to eating a healthy diet; it won’t just improve your digestive system, but also enhance your lifestyle and other systems’ functionality, via preventative care. The nervous system connects your brain and body, so with a healthy spine, your brain can send healing messages to all body parts.

We believe you are ALWAYS better without subluxation, even if your back pain or neck aches aren’t that severe.

With the proper management of your health, work, family time, and hobbies will never be a hassle!

Chiropractic adjustments work to support the biomechanics of the spine, particularly the upper neck (C1 and C2), using light Chiropractic care techniques called adjustments, to reduce pressure on the spinal cord.

These are usually done by hand, but can also be done using instruments. Chiropractic therapy takes the pressure off the surrounding structures of your spine and helps support the biomechanics of all your joints and soft tissues, particularly the nerves.

Think of faulty biomechanics like a sports injury twisting your arm; you can live with a twisted arm and perform tasks, but it is more complicated and can eventually cause problems, such as straining the nerves or muscles, leading to pain. As such, untwisting the arm is the appropriate solution. Similarly, Chiropractic adjustments are like untwisting your arm.

Have poor posture, pregnancy pains, joint pain, dealing with a slipped disc, knee pain, shoulder pain, headaches, or carpal tunnel syndrome? It’s most likely an issue with the nerves!

Our Chiropractic adjustment using Upper Cervical Chiropractic addresses these problems in the nervous system, allowing your body to function properly like it used to.

While chiropractic adjustments are considered safe and generally well-tolerated, it’s important to be aware of potential risks and side effects. It’s worth noting that these effects are typically minimal and temporary. Some individuals may experience mild soreness, temporary discomfort, or slight stiffness following an adjustment. However, these sensations tend to subside quickly on their own.

To ensure your safety, it’s crucial to communicate openly with your chiropractor and provide them with a comprehensive medical history. By discussing your concerns and sharing relevant information, we can address any specific risks or side effects that may be relevant to your individual circumstances.
