Frequent Visits to Stabilise Your Spine and Get You Back to Life

Most people start chiropractic care because they are in pain.

Relief care is designed to eliminate or reduce the majority of your discomfort and stabilise your initial complaint and health concerns.

But here’s what relief care really means for you: getting back to sleeping through the night without waking in pain.

Picking up your grandkids without wincing.

Sitting through a full day of work without constantly shifting in your chair.

Playing weekend sport again. Living without that nagging ache that’s been stealing your energy for months.

What Relief Care Involves

Visits are usually regular and frequent for the initial stage of chiropractic care.

These visits typically take only 5 to 10 minutes, normally two to three times a week.

Why so frequent?

Because your spine didn’t get this way overnight—and it won’t heal that way either.

Studies show patients receiving care 2-3 times weekly during relief care experience significantly faster pain reduction and better long-term outcomes than those who space visits further apart.

Treatment will involve spinal adjustments—gentle and specific movements to the spine.

These aren’t the dramatic “crack and pop” you might see on social media.

They’re precise, controlled, and tailored specifically to what your body needs.

There are many different techniques of spinal adjusting to suit your age and specific problem, whether you’re 8 or 80.

Some visits will involve Progress Examinations where we will review your progress.

This is where we measure how far you’ve come—not just how you feel (though that matters), but objective improvements in your spine’s function.

We may also include custom stretching and exercise techniques for your specific condition.

These visits may take up to 20 minutes and give you the tools to support your healing between appointments.

What Happens Next

Relief care is just the beginning.

Once your symptoms have stabilised and you’re feeling significantly better, we’ll have an honest conversation about what comes next.

Many patients choose to continue with corrective care to address the underlying spinal issues—not just the pain that brought them in.

Others prefer to stop here.

Either way, you’ll know exactly where you stand and what your options are.

Head aches gone, neck pain gone, I’m standing taller, feeling stronger and have achieved a much more positive sense of wellbeing. The chiropractors and staff are all very knowledgeable, professional and supportive. I would recommend them to anyone needing treatment and support. As always I’m looking forward to my next adjustment. Thank you team. You are great!
