What is different about our chiropractic treatment?
Our chiropractic consultations have a holistic focus that includes your life’s physical, mental, and social elements. It should never be just about the adjustments, and you can come in for chiropractic work even when you are not in pain. We have two chiropractic doctors as part of our talented team offering efficient chiropractic treatment to our clients. Dr Ian Shaw having extensive experience in the sports and performance world. On the other hand, Dr Alexandria Chen has particular interests in headaches and migraines, neck pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain, and women’s health (e.g. pre- and post-natal). Our Chiropractors extensive experience in other treatment modalities such as chiropractic treatment for pediatric and soft tissue massage, muscle activation retraining, with the overall goal of restoring your overall body function through our holistic education model is the reason why we’re considered one of the best chiropractors in Hong Kong and surrounding areas.
Whether it be our Relieve (Pain Management) or Restore (Foundation Training) entry points, each of the chiropractic care plans is tailored to your specific needs to optimise your health and performance. Our chiropractic doctors usually prescribe movement as medicine, and also provides you with the tools to accelerate your recovery through our post-consultation home-exercise programmes. Our high standard of chiropractic care and integrated approach is what you won’t receive at many other places due to the mixed approach from our chiropractors, who aims to improve all aspects of your performance - for sport, competition, and everyday activities.
Our chiropractors can help you if you’re struggling with:
-
Your consultation with our chiropractors will include a thorough assessment of internal and external factors that could be the root cause of your symptoms, and then a bespoke chiropractic treatment plan will be created to help you self-manage and feeling better as soon as possible. This can be done through our integrated approach with our physiotherapists, and is recommended for anyone with back pain or spine-related pain.
There are many different types of headaches, from cervicogenic to cluster and tension headaches. All of these and more are treatable.
-
The most common symptoms include numbness/tinging, neck pain, back pain, general weakness of the body, and often worsened with specific movements that spread the pain to other areas of your body (radicular pain). Our chiropractors take the pain management and increasing movement ability as a priority. Then the next step includes a journey through our RESTORE phase with a bespoke active chiropractic and/or physiotherapy programme to get your spine and body more resilient to future stress.
-
Our paediatric chiropractors who specialise in women’s health chiropractic care provide a drug-free and effective conservative chiropractic care plan to relieve your pain and improve your function.
Using the Webster Technique treatment protocol, common neck aches and back pains associated with pregnancy due to muscles and joints can be safely treated and managed throughout pregnancy and after birth.
We do offer partner classes as well. Please enquire for more information.
-
Common symptoms tend to include pain with biting/eating, clicking or locking in the jaw, limited jaw movement and headaches.
Our chiropractic treatments for TMJ pain involve the Thompson Technique adjustments and acupuncture, giving you a management approach that is drug-free.
-
Our chiropractors use an evidence-based approach that includes the spinal stenosis bootcamp protocol that consists of manual, hands-on therapy and exercise.
It is made even more effective with some lifestyle tweaks, which we can walk you through if you’re interested in our chiropractic care and health coaching programmes.
-
We like to use a proactive approach that focuses on building a more resilient system to prevent repetitive stress symptoms like neck pain, back pain, muscle aches, body stiffness, numbness/tingling, or just that feeling like we are the tin man. Whichever it may be, our chiropractic doctors will focus on a long-term plan for you that will have you feeling more energetic, stronger, happier, and less stressed (as posture has a bigger impact on us than we may think - mentally and physically).
-
During these sessions, our chiropractic doctors combine traditional joint adjustments as you would recognise in most chiropractic consults. However in these, Dr. Shaw will spend time including sports-specific rehabilitation training to help you achieve a range of chiropractic care goals to not only enhance your sporting performance, but also the everyday recovery you need to enable you to achieve your best.
-
ScoliCare is our collaborative and active- based 12-week training programme that includes our integrated chiropractic treatment and physiotherapy treatment protocols. It focuses on educating you in the most effective way to self correct and manage your scoliosis for successful long-term success. The initial chiropractic care plan is designed to teach you how to implement daily strategies and exercises to address the musculoskeletal imbalances associated with your scoliosis. As you progress through the programme, you will become more self dependent and will require less supervision, so that you will be able to continue on the journey without so much hand holding. These sessions are not a ‘one size fits all’; they are designed for only you according to your chiropractic care plan.
This programme is a combined chiropractic treatment approach where you will spend time with not just our chiropractors, but also one of our physiotherapists.

What is involved in a chiropractic treatment?
Chiropractic treatment in itself is a profession that specialises in the diagnosis, treatment, management and prevention of conditions related to the muscles, bones, joints, and nerves. It is a drug-free, non-invasive, hands-on method of treating such conditions as mentioned above. Our chiropractic treatment philosophy is to re-educate the body to move the way it was intended, using all of its abilities and ranges of motion in a safe and effective manner. Chiropractic treatment methods include manual therapy using diversified, evidence-based techniques, including: spinal manipulation therapy, mobilisations, muscle release therapy, instrument assisted soft tissue therapy, drop-piece technique, and dry-needling. We also link both our chiropractors and physiotherapists together to design bespoke rehabilitation exercise programmes specific to each individual clients’ needs; for example our Back Pain, OsteoCare and Scoliosis programmes.
What to expect in your first visit
On your first visit with one of our chiropractic doctors, your Discovery Consultation includes an initial assessment, which is taken to help us identify your injury or condition, and allows us to form a personalised chiropractic treatment plan for your diagnosis. During the physical assessment, you will also be assessed on your physical posture, active mobility, and your joint ranges of motion. In almost all cases, you’ll receive chiropractic treatment during your first visit. If you are in pain we want to make sure you leave feeling better than you did when you came in. In some rarer cases that involving complex conditions, treatment may begin on the second visit. However, in such cases we’ll discuss this with you at the time of the initial appointment.
how long do consults last?
The Discovery Consultation takes 45 minutes (or 30 minutes for single joint issues), where the chiropractors focus is on listening to you, working together to piece the puzzle of how to create the best chiropractic treatment plan for you by having a good understanding of your health history, bio-mechanical exam, functional movements, and neurological tests. Follow Up Consults can be either 15/30/45 minutes depending on your clinical needs as well as whether your treatment includes collaborative work with another member of our team. For sustainable longevity health goals, we do recommend you integrate our physiotherapy treatment plans into your chiropractic treatment care plan.
