First visits include questions about the complaint, relevant medical history, and an examination of the muscles, joints and nerves. The chiropractor then determines a diagnosis and a plan of action. If chiropractic care is not considered appropriate, the source states that referral elsewhere may be made.

Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, joint mobilisations, massage techniques, acupuncture, practical advice and exercises. For neck pain, the clinic states that assessment includes history and examination of the muscles, joints and nerves, including symptoms that may affect the arm or hand. For headache and migraine, assessment may include cranial nerve tests and blood pressure.

Joint pain care covers shoulders, knees, hips, elbows, ankles and wrists, including some pre-surgery and post-surgery cases. The clinic also discusses osteoarthritis, restricted joint movement, muscle work, strengthening exercises and advice as part of joint management.
