Common questions

How quickly can Dr. Desmond treat a sports injury?
One patient with a hamstring tear felt relief after her first session. Another with acute knee pain showed improvement immediately. Complex cases like spinal disc injury took 4 months of ongoing sessions.
What should I expect at my first visit?
Dr. Desmond reviews any X-rays or MRIs, explains your condition in detail, assesses your whole body (not just the painful area), and demonstrates home exercises. The clinic keeps to schedule.
Do I need to keep coming back, or is one visit enough?
It depends. Some see relief after one session, but Dr. Desmond recommends follow-up. Many patients join 15-session maintenance programs or return as needed for ongoing pain management.

Most reviewers praise the clinic's skilled chiropractors, particularly Drs. Law, Jim, and Eugene, for gentle treatment and clear communication. However, one severe complaint alleges Dr. Rita caused significant injury during a neck adjustment in late 2024, resulting in permanent disability and job loss. The broader experience emphasizes professional service and effective pain relief, but this critical adverse event warrants caution for neck-related treatment.
