What People Come In For
Musculoskeletal presentations, explained without the scare tactics. Pick the one closest to yours.
What conditions does a chiropractor treat?
Chiropractors assess and manage musculoskeletal conditions — back and neck pain, headaches with a neck component, disc injuries, sciatica, shoulder and hip pain, tennis and golfer's elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, muscle strains and joint sprains, osteoarthritis, sports injuries, work-related pain and general stiffness. Presentations outside that scope are referred to the appropriate health professional.

Assessment and management of lateral hip pain, deep hip stiffness and glute-related complaints in runners, golfers and desk workers.
Sciatica
Assessment and management of nerve-related leg pain, including what recovery usually looks like and when to escalate.
Disc Injuries
Assessment and conservative management of disc-related back and neck pain, including what a scan finding does and does not mean.

A note on how this content is written
These pages describe what people commonly come in for and what assessment and management typically involve. They are not a diagnosis, and they are not a substitute for being assessed.
You will not find claims that chiropractic cures anything, or that a particular technique fixes a problem permanently. What you will find is a reasonable account of what is usually going on, what the evidence generally supports, and when something needs a different pathway entirely.
Every page is reviewed by Dr Corey Williams and carries the date it was last checked.
Seek urgent medical care if
- Loss of bladder or bowel control, or numbness around the groin and inner thighs
- Sudden, severe weakness in an arm or leg
- Pain following significant trauma such as a fall or car accident
- Unexplained weight loss, fever or night pain that wakes you consistently
