Question 1

What conditions can chiropractors treat?

Accepted Answer

Chiropractors at Momentum Clinic treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions including back pain, sciatica, neck pain, headaches and migraines, shoulder and arm pain, hip and pelvis pain, sports injuries, postural stress, and TMJ (jaw) pain. We focus on conditions affecting the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system.

Question 2

Can chiropractic treatment help with sciatica?

Accepted Answer

Yes, chiropractic treatment can be very effective for sciatica. Sciatica is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, often due to spinal issues. Chiropractors use specific adjustments, mobilization techniques, and exercises to reduce nerve pressure, improve spinal alignment, and relieve the pain, numbness, and tingling associated with sciatica.

Question 3

Is chiropractic treatment effective for headaches?

Accepted Answer

Yes, chiropractic care can be highly effective for certain types of headaches, particularly tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches (headaches originating from the neck). By addressing spinal dysfunction, muscle tension, and nerve irritation in the neck and upper back, chiropractors can reduce headache frequency and intensity. Many patients experience significant relief within a few sessions.

Question 4

Can chiropractors help with sports injuries?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Chiropractors are trained to diagnose and treat sports-related injuries including muscle strains, joint sprains, tendon problems, and overuse injuries. Treatment focuses on reducing pain, restoring movement, accelerating recovery, and preventing future injuries. We also provide advice on proper technique, stretching, and strengthening to support your athletic performance.

Question 5

How do I know if chiropractic treatment is right for my condition?

Accepted Answer

The best way to find out is to book a FREE 15-minute spinal screening at Momentum Clinic. During this brief assessment, we'll evaluate your condition and advise whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you. If we believe another healthcare provider would be better suited to help, we'll guide you in the right direction. There's no obligation to proceed with treatment.

Question 6

Do I need an X-ray before chiropractic treatment?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, no. We follow evidence-based guidelines and only recommend X-rays or other imaging when clinically necessary - typically for trauma, specific conditions, or red flag symptoms. This approach saves you money and avoids unnecessary radiation exposure. Your chiropractor will conduct a thorough physical examination first and discuss any imaging needs with you if required.
