How many sessions will I need?
It varies by condition. Some people improve in 1 to 3 sessions, others need ongoing care for chronic conditions. I'll give you an honest assessment after your initial visit. For example, acute lower back pain from lifting might resolve in 2 to 3 visits. Chronic shoulder issues from years of desk work might need 6 to 8 sessions plus home exercises. I'll give you a realistic timeline after your first visit. You pay per session, no packages required.
Do you accept insurance?
I provide itemized receipts that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Most expat plans (Cigna, Aetna, Bupa, AXA) cover chiropractic care, but check your specific policy for visit limits and reimbursement rates. If your insurance company requires diagnostic codes, you will need a referral from a qualified Singapore medical practitioner. You submit the receipt directly to your insurer for reimbursement.
What's the difference between chiropractic and physiotherapy?
While both work with musculoskeletal conditions, chiropractic focuses primarily on joint manipulation and adjustments. Physiotherapy emphasizes exercise and movement patterns. My approach combines manipulation, mobilization, and rehabilitation exercises based on your specific needs and condition.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit includes a thorough assessment of your condition, movement patterns, and biomechanics. I'll evaluate the areas of concern and develop a care plan built around your specific needs. If appropriate, I'll provide care during the first session. The initial visit typically takes 45 to 60 minutes.
Do you work with conditions other than back pain?
Yes. I work with the whole body - spine, shoulders, knees, ankles, TMJ, and other musculoskeletal conditions. This includes sports injuries, chronic pain, joint dysfunction, and rehabilitation. If your condition falls outside my scope of practice, I'll refer you to the appropriate provider.
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept PayNow, credit cards, and debit cards. Payment is due at the time of service. For corporate wellness programs, we can arrange invoicing for your company.
Do you offer packages or memberships?
No, I use a pay per session model. Here's why: everyone responds differently to care. Some people improve in 2 sessions, others need 8. Rather than locking you into a package upfront, you pay as you go. If you're better after 3 visits, perfect. If you need more, we continue. You're never committed beyond your next appointment.
