Q: What makes The Cape Town Chiro different from other chiropractors in Cape Town?
A: We focus on evidence-based, results-driven care with no gimmicks or long-term care contracts. Our priority is getting you out of pain and back to performing at your best — whether you’re a weekend warrior, triathlete, or just tired of dealing with a sore back at work.


Q: Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor in South Africa?
A: Nope! Chiropractors are primary healthcare practitioners in South Africa, which means you can book an appointment directly — no referral needed.


Q: Is chiropractic treatment painful?
A: Most treatments are gentle and comfortable, but you may feel some temporary soreness similar to post-exercise fatigue. We always adjust the approach based on your tolerance and comfort.


Q: How soon can I expect results?
A: Many patients feel a difference after just 1–3 sessions, especially with acute pain. Chronic issues may take a bit longer, but every plan is tailored to your body and goals.


Q: Do you work with athletes?
A: 100%. We specialize in sports performance and injury rehab, and regularly work with CrossFitters, runners, triathletes, and weekend warriors. Whether it’s prehab or post-injury return-to-play — we’ve got you.


Q: Are you open on weekends?
A: Yes — we offer early morning and Saturday slots because we know pain doesn’t check the calendar. Early birds and busy professionals are welcome.


Q: Is it safe to get adjusted if I have a herniated disc?
A: Yes, but with caution. We don’t crack for the sake of it — we assess first and use a combination of joint work, muscle therapy, rehab, and advice. If adjustments aren’t suitable, we’ll go another route.


Q: Do you treat headaches or jaw issues (TMJ)?
A: Absolutely. Many headaches stem from neck, jaw, or postural issues, and we see great results with a holistic approach that includes manual therapy and movement-based rehab.


Q: What if I’ve been told not to crack my back?
A: Adjustments are just one tool — we use other techniques like dry needling, strapping, IFC, and soft tissue work. If cracking isn’t right for you, we don’t force it.


Q: Can chiropractic care help with posture and ergonomics?
A: Definitely. We look at the full picture, from desk setup to movement habits, and help you correct underlying issues causing pain or stiffness.Book Now
