For Bupa: You must request your authorisation code beforehand, and give this and your membership information to us on your first visit so that we can bill the insurance company directly through their billing platform. Please ensure you book in with Dr Blair Boles who is our recognised consultant for Bupa.

Chiropractic is a non-invasive therapy and is very safe when performed by a registered chiropractor. Your chiropractor will take a medical history and give you a thorough examination to assess what your specific needs are and what the best treatment plan will be for you. The chiropractor will only adjust you if it is appropriate to do so. Generally, chiropractic adjustments do not hurt, however there may be a moment of mild discomfort following an adjustment as the muscles start to relax. There should be no cause for concern.
