FAQs
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic care focuses on how the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system work together to support movement, balance, and overall function. It recognises the close relationship between physical structure and neurological function in everyday health.
Chiropractors assess movement and neuromusculoskeletal function throughout the body and use hands-on techniques, including specific adjustments and other manual approaches, to help reduce physical and neurological stress.
The aim of chiropractic care is to support efficient movement and healthy nervous system function, helping the body to maintain long-term physical wellbeing.
Is chiropractic only for back or neck pain?
Not at all. While back and neck pain are common reasons people attend, chiropractic care also supports headaches, sciatica, joint and muscle discomfort, stiffness, postural strain, sports-related issues, and everyday aches and tensions. Many people also choose chiropractic care to support movement, nervous system function, balance, and overall physical wellbeing — even when they’re feeling well.
Does an adjustment hurt?
Chiropractic adjustments are generally very comfortable. Occasionally, you may notice a little tenderness after an initial adjustment as your body begins to move and adapt in new ways. This usually settles quickly.
Is chiropractic care suitable during pregnancy?
Yes. Chiropractic care can be adapted throughout pregnancy, with techniques chosen to support comfort, movement, and well-being as the body changes.
Do you take health insurance?
Yes. Hiral is registered with a number of health insurance providers, which may help fund part of your care. Cover varies between policies, so feel free to get in touch or check directly with your insurer.
