Conditions Treated & Benefits of Chiropractic
Chiropractic care is effective for back pain, neck pain, muscle tension, joint stiffness, sciatica, posture‑related discomfort, and general spinal misalignment. It can help improve range of motion, reduce nerve‑related pain, and support a healthier spine overall.
Patients choose chiropractic because it offers a non‑invasive, hands‑on approach that focuses on the root cause of pain rather than just masking symptoms. At New Life Physio, we combine spinal adjustments with mobility and strengthening exercises to support lasting relief and resilience.

It may also be helpful for certain injuries and movement-related problems that affect your daily activities, work, or exercise.
What happens during my first chiropractic appointment?
Your first appointment begins with a detailed assessment. Your chiropractor will discuss your symptoms, medical history, activities, and goals and perform an examination to better understand the source of your problem.
Based on the assessment, your chiropractor will explain their findings and, when appropriate, treatment can begin during the first appointment. A personalized treatment plan will be developed based on your needs.
What techniques are used during chiropractic treatment?
Depending on your condition and assessment, chiropractic treatment may include spinal adjustments, joint mobilization, manual therapy, soft-tissue techniques, stretching, and therapeutic exercises.
Your chiropractor will choose the techniques that are appropriate for you and adjust the treatment based on your comfort and response.
Is chiropractic adjustment painful?

How many chiropractic sessions will I need, and how often should I come?
There is no fixed number of sessions that applies to everyone. The recommended frequency depends on your condition, how long you have had the problem, your goals, and how you respond to treatment.
Your chiropractor will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as you improve. The goal is to provide the appropriate amount of care for your condition rather than following a one-size-fits-all schedule.
Can a chiropractor order X-rays if needed?
Yes. Chiropractors can order X-rays when clinically indicated. If your assessment suggests that an X-ray may be appropriate, your chiropractor can provide the necessary referral/order for the imaging.
Your chiropractor will determine whether imaging is appropriate based on your symptoms, medical history, and physical examination.
Do I need a doctor's referral to see a chiropractor?
No. A doctor’s referral is not required to book a chiropractic appointment at New Life Physio. You can contact us directly to schedule your appointment.
Is chiropractic care covered by insurance?
Many private extended health insurance plans include chiropractic coverage, although coverage varies between plans.
We recommend checking your individual insurance policy for details regarding your chiropractic coverage, annual limits, deductible, and any referral requirements.
Do you offer direct billing for chiropractic care?
We offer direct billing to many insurance providers. Coverage and direct-billing eligibility can vary depending on your insurance plan.
Patients are responsible for checking with their insurance provider to confirm their chiropractic coverage, including the amount covered per visit and their annual or maximum benefit.
