What is a Chiropractor?
Chiropractors are primary contact practitioners. They focus on treating the spine by using their hands to examine and treat health conditions related to the bones, muscles and joints
What is the clicking or cracking sound?
The noise that you may hear when you get adjusted is a suction sound as gas within the joint escapes. The adjustment does not aim to release the gas, it is merely a side effect of little to no clinical consequence. Some adjustments don’t make any noise at all. It is good to know that the click you may hear is not the bone itself.

We close at 7pm on Monday,Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

When we look at Adjustments against other Medical Interventions they are incredibly safe. Chiropractors are fortunate enough to have one of the lowest malpractice insurance premiums because of low numbers of litigations against the profession. However, there are always risks associated with any procedure. We minimize the risk through our thorough history, examination and testing as well as using specific gentle techniques. We will always discuss any risks with you before proceeding with care. No two cases are the same, therefore we tailor our approach to make sure we deliver to best Chiropractic care that is safe and effective.
