Understand what chiropractic is, what it is not and how decisions are made.
Assessment • Movement • Function • Progress
Chiropractic care should make the problem clearer.Not merely quieter.
Chiropractic care is often associated with back pain, but the real clinical question is wider: how are the spine, joints, muscles, nerves and movement patterns working together—and what is preventing you from doing what matters comfortably?

A Clearer Way Forward
Care begins before an adjustment
The first responsibility is to understand the history, examine relevant function and decide whether chiropractic care is appropriate. That is why the process starts with questions, movement and clinical findings—not an automatic treatment.
The right technique matters. The right decision matters first.

Built Around The Patient
Why people seek chiropractic care
Back Pain
Pain, stiffness, restricted bending, lifting difficulty or recurring lower-back flare-ups.
Neck Pain
Tension, reduced rotation, desk-related strain, shoulder involvement or pain that keeps returning.
Headaches
Headaches connected with neck tension, posture, restricted movement or recurring muscular strain.
Sciatica
Pain, burning, tingling or altered sensation travelling from the lower back or hip into the leg.
Injury Recovery
Symptoms after a collision, sports injury, fall or other event that changed how the body moves.
Everyday Function
Movement becoming harder, confidence shrinking or daily activities requiring more compensation.
A Clear Process
How care is determined
The technique is never the starting point. The person, the findings and the goal come first.
01
Listen
Understand symptoms, history, goals, concerns and the daily activities being affected.
02
Assess
Examine movement, function and relevant neurological or orthopaedic findings.
03
Explain
Connect the findings to what you feel, what they may mean and what deserves attention.
04
Recommend
Discuss suitable options, expected steps and the points where progress should be reviewed.
Why It Matters
Technique follows the person.
Care may involve manual or instrument-assisted approaches, supportive therapies, mobility work, exercises or other recommendations when clinically appropriate.
The method should fit the findings, your comfort, your goals and your stage of care—not the other way around.
Clinical ExperienceMore than two decades helping people understand what is happening and what to do next.
Built Around FindingsThe assessment guides the recommendation instead of forcing everyone into one method.

Clear answers before the next step
Common questions about assessment, suitability, adjustments, timelines and what happens during the first visit.
No GP referral requiredNo routine X-raysClear review points
Is chiropractic care only for back pain?
No. People also seek care for neck pain, headaches, sciatica, nerve symptoms, injury recovery, posture concerns and movement limitations.
Will I be adjusted on the first visit?
Not automatically. The first visit focuses on understanding the concern and completing an appropriate assessment. Care is provided only when clinically suitable and clearly explained.
Are adjustments painful?
Many people find care comfortable, but responses vary. Tell Dr. Eric about concerns, previous experiences or preferences so the approach can be adapted.
How many visits will I need?
That depends on the problem, findings, goals, duration and response. Recommendations should include a rationale and clear review points.
Do I need a GP referral?
A referral is generally not required to book a chiropractic assessment.
Are X-rays taken routinely?
No. The clinic’s current €39 New Patient Experience uses consultation, examination and digital posture scans. Existing MRI or X-ray information can be reviewed when relevant.
Is chiropractic suitable for everyone?
No treatment is appropriate for everyone. The assessment helps identify suitability, necessary modifications or whether another healthcare route is more appropriate.
Can care help me stay active?
The plan can be built around movement and activity goals, including returning to work, family routines, exercise or sport.
