chiropractors as well-trained as medical doctors?","answer","

All registered chiropractors in Hong Kong have undergone rigorous training to enable them to safely and effectively administer chiropractic care.

There are currently no chiropractic educational institutions in Hong Kong that are recognized by the Hong Kong Chiropractors Council for registration as registered chiropractors. All practicing registered chiropractors are graduates of chiropractic programs that have been accredited by various overseas accrediting bodies, and are qualified to practice in the respective countries. Please refer to Chiropractors Council’s website for a list of accredited programs leading to qualifications recognized for registration in Hong Kong.

The curriculum in the USA and Canada confers a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, while that in the UK and Australia leads to a BSc/MSc of Applied Science (Chiropractic) or equivalents. Like general medical doctors, all chiropractors have undergone 6 to 8 years of post-secondary professional training.

For more details about the education of chiropractors, please refer to the WHO guidelines on basic training and safety in chiropractic

","homeOrder",8,"Are chiropractic treatments covered by medical insurance?","

Chiropractic treatments are covered by many insurance programs. Visit the Fees and Coverage page to find out more.

","I am an office worker and sit all day long, is chiropractic right for me?","

Sitting for an extended period of time increases pressure on joints. Muscles are also strained from maintaining the same posture for prolonged periods of time.
As a result, one feels stiffness of muscles and joints.

Since our body is designed for motion, our movement serves as nutrition to our musculoskeletal system. Chiropractic adjustment frees up restricted joints and relaxes tight muscles and restores normal joint movements and puts them into motion again. It is often hard to correct a bad posture even if one wants to because spine stuck in poor posture for too long; joints are locked.

Spinal adjustments unlock stuck joints and allows for a freer spine, after which one would find it easier to maintain a straight spine than before.

","What is the risk of injury with spinal manipulation?","

Spinal manipulation (a high-velocity, low-amplitude force directed to specific joints) requires the integration of anatomical knowledge, biomechanical understanding, and fine manual technique. As with any medical procedures, there is a risk associated with the chiropractic adjustment. The highest concern is related to injuries after a cervical adjustment: according to research, there is a one in one million chance resulting in cerebrovascular accidents, with half having a fatal outcome. Having said that, it is worth noting that “compared to other treatments used for similar conditions, these rates are 200 times lower than the rates reported for gastrointestinal bleeding due to the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Gabriel SE et al. 1991, Dabbs V et al. 1995, Deyo RA et al. 1992, Malter AD et al. 1998). Moreover, the majority of individuals performing the maneuvers that resulted in the above injuries have not gone through professional trainings as chiropractors. For your safety, please make sure to seek help only from registered chiropractors.

","I want to ensure that my young child is growing and developing normally. Is chiropractic care right for him?","

The growing spinal canal also provides protection to the growing nervous system. Imagine, every trauma (whether at birth or childhood accidents, etc.) or incorrect posture may cause the body to adapt negatively, which will have a profound impact on growth; hence directly or indirectly causing neck pain, low back pain, headache and other common pain conditions among adults.

Chiropractic care can ensure the normal position and mobility of joints, allowing the growing spine to perform its natural functions. Children's bodies have strong adaptability, so the treatment effect is generally more obvious than that of adults. Furthermore, it is very important to instill spinal health awareness from an early age, just like instilling dental awareness in young children. It is recommended that spinal examinations be performed every 6 months throughout childhood. This is especially important in diagnosing early-stage scoliosis as they enter puberty.

","I want to prepare myself for a smooth pregnancy, is chiropractic right for me?","

Pregnancy increases loading on not just the heart / lungs and other organs, but also the joints and muscles supporting the spine. With increasing weight and weight shift, there is increased demand on the spine. In fact, 80% of pregnant women suffer from back pain due to various reasons. Hormonal changes can cause loosened ligaments which can lead to sacroiliac joint sprains and hip and lower back muscle strains. The upper back and neck can also be affected by postural changes such as slouching.

Chiropractic treatments during pregnancy are safe, effective and has no side effects as opposed to drugs. Chiropractic adjustments can help maintain the stability as well as the flexibility of the spine during pregnancy. A normalized nervous system can also have a direct effect on the healthy growth of the fetus. Furthermore, regular spinal adjustments during pregnancy helps optimize the mobility of the spine and pelvic joints, which would facilitate a smooth delivery process.

","I want to maintain good health after retirement. Is chiropractic/chiropractic treatment suitable for me?","

Retirement marks the beginning of the “golden years”: don’t let pain keep you from enjoying the things and places you’ve always dreamed of doing. At this age, treating pain that has been accumulated for many years, such as low back pain, neck pain, headaches, etc., will be more effective because some of the factors that make the pain worse have been eliminated (such as sitting at a desk all day). Now the body can finally be \"released\" from the stress that has accumulated over the years. Spinal adjustment can restore joint mobility. If at the same time, the body can relearn correct posture and movement patterns, it has great potential in retaining or even enhancing its strength, endurance and vitality.

It’s never too late to start taking care of your spinal health and prevent further deterioration. Common degenerative spinal diseases include disc herniation, sciatica, spinal stenosis, etc. A chiropractor will conduct a detailed examination and diagnosis based on your individual condition. Chiropractic treatment is a conservative treatment option that is widely considered safe and effective.

Since the risks of surgery increase as a person ages, surgery should be avoided if it is not necessary. Before considering surgery, conservative treatment for 6-8 weeks is the common approach, including spinal manipulation, electrotherapy therapy, acupuncture, exercise therapy, etc. See Treatment Methods to learn about treatments commonly used by chiropractors.

","Are there any scientific evidence for chiropractic treatments?","

Scientific research has shown that spinal manipulation, a common technique applied by chiropractors, is particularly effective for treating low back pain,sciatica, neck pain and headache. It might be a safer alternative to opioids and other pain relievers. Guidelines from the American College of Physicians recommend spinal manipulation for acute and chronic low back pain as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for pain relief and restoration of function.

","Is chiropractic a legitimate healthcare profession in Hong Kong?","

Yes. Hong Kong is the first and only region in Asia that has established statutory legislation of the chiropractic profession. The other regulated healthcare professions are medicine, dentistry, and traditional Chinese medicine. Hong Kong Chiropractors’ Council is the regulatory body of practicing chiropractors in Hong Kong and its committees ensure that public’s interests are served.

","Are there any contraindications to spinal manipulations?","

There are certain instances when spinal manipulation may not be suitable: acute trauma, bone fracture, spinal infection, advanced osteoporosis or metastatic bone disease (bone cancer). Your chiropractor would review the patient’s history carefully to determine if other treatment options should be considered, or referral for further investigations is appropriate.

","When I crack my joints I feel much better: is it the same as a chiropractic adjustment?","

No. Because branches from the same nerve may supply more than one level of the spine, the discomfort originating from one segment may be felt over several segments. However, when you perform self-manipulation, it's usually the hypermobile joints (joints that are moving too much) that are released, while the restricted joints remain restricted. Skilled manipulations performed by a chiropractor are specifically and carefully delivered to the joints that truly need it. The effects of the manipulation are also more longer-lasting and the urge to self-manipulate will subside.

","What is the popping sound after an adjustment?","

The popping sound that commonly follows a spinal adjustment is caused by gas that has been released from joint capsule by the temporary opening of joint space. Visit the spinal manipulations page to learn more.

","Is it safe to undergo chiropractic treatment if I'm pregnant?","

Yes. Pregnant women often experience weight gain and changes in their postures that can cause pain in the back and pelvis.

Because chiropractic is concerned with correcting the structure of the body to restore function, it is ideal for treating some of the discomfort that arises during pregnancy.

Still unsure? See our \"Is it right for pregnant women\" section and our case study on a pregnant patient to see if chiropractic is right for you.

","Can chiropractic treatment address issues other than back problems?","

Yes. Chiropractic health care is an effective option for diagnosing, treating and preventing a wide range of disorders related to the musculo-skeletal and nervous systems. Learn about the conditions commonly treated by chiropractic.

","Do I need to see my medical doctor before I see a chiropractor?","

No. Chiropractors are primary healthcare providers, which means that a referral from a general practitioner (GP) is not necessary. Having said that, certain insurance policies may require a GP's referral for coverage and you are encouraged to check with your insurance provider. See more details on our fees and coverage page.

香港的註冊脊醫均曾接受嚴格的培訓，以達致認可的專業水平，使他們能夠安全有效地進行脊椎治療。

現時香港並未有受香港脊醫管理局認可的本地脊醫培訓學院，而所有在香港註冊執業的脊醫均畢業於世界不同地區獲認證的脊醫學院，並通過當地的執業資格評核。有關受香港脊醫管理局認可的脊醫課程及所授予的學歷資格，可參閱脊醫管理局網頁。

各地的脊醫課程均屬專上教育程度，當中美國和加拿大的課程授予Doctor of Chiropractic 名銜，而英國和澳洲則提供應用科學（脊科）學士學位。與一般傳統西醫一樣，所有脊醫都曾接受 6 至 8 年的專上培訓。

有關脊醫教育的更多詳情，請參閱世界衛生組織脊骨神經醫學基礎培訓和安全性指南

","我的醫療保險是否包括脊骨神經科/脊醫治療？","

現時香港的醫療或意外保險計劃普遍都涵蓋脊骨神經科/脊醫治療。為了對你的療程所需作出最妥善的預算，建議患者在求診前先了解清楚其保單的保障範圍、最高賠償金額、索償程序等。進一步詳情請參閱收費和保障範圍。

","我經常整天坐在辦公室工作，脊醫治療適合我嗎？","

長時間的坐姿會增加關節的壓力。而肌肉於長時間維持同一個姿勢後也會變得繃緊。因此，整個身體都會感到僵硬。

人體具備了活動的天賦，而當我們活動身體的時候，肌肉及骨骼系統猶如得到其所需的營養。脊椎矯正能把關節復位並舒解關節內的壓力，同時亦可鬆弛繃緊的肌肉，使身體恢復正常的機能。

倘若不良姿勢已經成為了習慣，往往無法一下子戒掉，原因是脊椎關節已被鎖住了在不正確的位罝。脊骨矯正能瞬間舒張關節，大大增加了靈活度，讓身體能較容易持久地保持良好的姿勢。

","脊椎矯正有受傷的風險嗎？","

脊椎矯正（針對特定關節而施行高速、低幅力度的手法）需要整合解剖學知識、生物力學理解和高水準的手法技巧。與任何醫療程序一樣，脊椎矯正治療也存在風險。根據研究，最嚴重的後遺症為頸椎矯正後有一百萬分之一的機會導致腦血管意外，而其中一半個案最終因而死亡。話雖如此，值得注意的是「與用於類似病症的其他治療方法相比，這些意外的發生率相比因使用非類固醇抗炎藥而導致胃腸道出血及喪生的機率低200 倍（Gabriel SE 等人，1991 年， Dabbs V 等人，1995 年；Deyo RA 等人，1992 年；Malter AD 等人，1998 年）。此外，大多數因進行脊椎矯正而導致上述腦血管意外的乃沒有接受過專業訓練的人仕。為了您的安全，請確保僅向註冊脊醫尋求協助。

","我想確保我年幼的孩子能正常生長及發展，脊醫治療適合他嗎？","

成長中的脊椎管道同時為處於成長階段的神經系統提供保護。試想像，每次創傷（無論是在出生時，或是童年時期所難免遇上的碰撞、意外等）或不正確的姿勢，都有可能引起身體的適應性調整，對成長帶來深遠的影響，直接或間接地導致頸痛、腰背痛、頭痛等成年人口中常見的痛症。

脊科治療能確保關節正常的體位和活動性能，使成長中的脊椎發揮天賦的功能。兒童的身體有很强的適應能力，因此治療效果一般都比成年人更為明顯。再者，自幼灌輸正確的脊骨保健意識非常重要，有如向幼童灌輸正確的牙齒保健觀念一樣。建議在整個童年期間，每6個月作一次脊椎檢查。尤其是在踏入發育期的時候，這對於診斷初期的脊柱側彎症尤其重要。

","我想好好地準備自己的身體，希望渡過一個暢順的懷孕過程，脊醫治療適合我嗎？","

懷孕不單會加重心臟、肺和其他器官的負荷，而且還會影響到脊椎、關節及支持關節的肌肉組織。體重驟增和重心轉移會增加對脊椎的壓力。事實上，80％的孕婦都因各種原因而患上腰、背痛。荷爾蒙的變化會導致保護盤骨關節的韌帶鬆弛，因而增加骶髂關節扭傷、髖關節及腰部肌肉拉傷的風險。同時，背部及頸部也會因姿勢的改變（如寒背）而受到影響。

脊科治療有異於藥物治療，在一般情況下對於孕婦絕對安全、有效，並且沒有副作用。同時也可以保持孕婦脊椎的靈活性及穩定性。穩健的神經系統對胎兒的健康成長有直接的影響。此外，在懷孕期間定期進行脊科治療有助保持脊柱和盆骨關節的正確體位，這有利於媽媽能順利分娩。

Chiropractic While Pregnant: What are the Benefits?

","我希望退休後能保持健康的體魄，脊科/脊醫治療適合我嗎?","

退休代表着「流金歲月」的開始：不要讓疼痛阻礙了你去享受一直夢寐以求想做的事情和想去的地方。在這個年歲，針對累積多年的痛症如腰背痛、頸痛、頭痛等會顯得更有效，因為某些令疼痛加劇的勞損性因素都消除了（如整天在辦公桌前坐着）。現在身體終於可以從多年來積存的壓力中被「釋放」出來。脊骨矯正能重整關節活動性能，若與此同時，身體能重新學習正確的姿勢及運動模式，可確保身體機能更強健、更持久。

任何時候開始關心你的脊椎健康都不會太遲，並且可防止它進一步的退化。常見的退化性脊椎病包括椎間盤突出、坐骨神經痛、椎間管道狹窄等。脊醫會根據你的個別狀況作詳細檢查和診齗，脊科治療屬於保守性的護脊療法，既安全又有效，更無副作用。

由於手術風險會隨著人的年歲增加而有所提升，故如非必要，應盡量避免做手術。而在考慮做手術前，一般會先嘗試為期6-8星期的保守性治療，包括脊骨矯正、電流療法、針法、運動治療等。可參閱治療方法或療程以了解有關脊醫常用的治療方法。

","脊骨神經科醫生治療有科學根據嗎？","

多項科學研究顯示，脊醫最常採用的脊骨矯正治療能針對腰痛、坐骨神經痛、頸痛及頭痛，成效顯著，比類阿片藥物和其他止痛藥更安全。美國College of Physicians建議將脊椎治療腰背痛作為緩解疼痛和恢復功能的綜合治療計劃的一部分。

","脊醫在香港屬於合法的專業醫護人員嗎？","

香港是亞洲首個及迄今唯一一個就脊醫專業立法的地區。1993年香港立法局通過脊醫註冊條例四二八章，並於1994年成立脊醫管理局為脊醫的監管機構，制定專業守則，為合資格的人士註冊為註冊脊醫。當局2001年9月1日開始根據脊醫註册條例為本港的執業脊醫註冊。現時其他受監管的醫療服務包括：傳統西醫、牙醫、中醫及獸醫。香港脊醫管理局除了審查和核實合資格的註册脊醫外，其職能還包括制訂及檢討註冊脊醫的資格標準，和處理違反紀律罪等，以保障公眾的權益。市民應向合資格的香港註册脊醫求診，一旦對聲稱為香港註册脊醫的執業人仕資格有懷疑，可於香港脊醫管理局的網頁搜查該人仕是否列於名册上，亦可向香港脊醫管理局舉報無牌執業者，或違反專業操守的註册脊醫等。

","脊椎矯正治療有何禁忌症？","

脊醫在施行脊骨矯正前必須先仔細審閱患者的病歷和做詳細的檢查以作出診斷。儘管脊骨矯正能有效舒緩很多脊椎相關的痛症，但在以下情況下不宜進行脊骨矯正：急性創傷、骨折、脊椎感染、晚期骨質疏鬆症或轉移性骨疾（骨癌）等。脊醫會根據臨床判斷採取其他適合的治療方案，或轉介其他醫生作進一步醫治。

","我喜歡快速地扭動脊椎關節，好像也能減輕不適。這與脊醫治療的成效相同嗎？","

不同。每一脊骨關節都有痛感神經供應以傳遞痛楚或不適的感覺，而同一條痛感神經可能供應多於一節關節。當某一脊骨關節存在功能性移位時，其引起不適的範圍可能會覆蓋至以上或以下一至兩節，即是並不很準確。當您自行扭動關節時，可能只鬆弛到一些已活動過多的關節，而活動受限的關節仍未能有效得到舒緩。因此即使有舒緩的感覺，效果亦會很短暫。反之，脊醫會針對真正有需要復位的關節，小心進行專業矯正，精準地對症下藥，並達到長效舒緩。

","脊醫進行脊椎治療時，關節會發出「噗」一聲，是怎麼回事？","

脊醫經常會運用脊骨矯正治療來恢復功能受阻(或錯位)的關節，過程中或會出現「噗」的響聲。這是由於脊骨關節的軟組織在極短時間內快速地被打開，令本來在滑膜液內的小小空氣泡被擠出關節囊，因而發出「噗」聲。然而，研究顯示脊骨復位和有否發出聲響並沒有直接的關係，即使沒有明顯的聲響並不代表關節沒有被矯正。亦有研究指出，當患者聽到「噗」聲或許會產生安慰劑的心理作用，使其相信響聲即代表治療更有效。有關詳情請參閱脊骨矯正。

","在懷孕期間接受脊骨神經科醫生的脊椎治療安全嗎？","

安全。女士在懷孕期間體重驟增，重心轉移以及荷爾蒙的變化都會引起不同的痛症，常見的如腰背痛、尾龍骨痛、肩膊痛、頸痛等。當中，有五成孕婦在懷孕的不同階段中經歷腰背痛或坐骨神經痛。而懷孕期間應盡量以保守性治療為主，避免服食藥物。因此脊骨矯正治療，配合脊醫處方為適合的產前運動成為了醫治痛症的首選方案，以達舒緩和恢復身體正常功能的效果。

還是不太放心嗎？請參閱「脊科治療適合孕婦嗎？」及有關治療孕婦患者的個案分享，以更了解產前脊科治療。

","除背痛外，脊骨神經科醫生還能醫治其他方面的問題嗎？","

脊骨神經科治療/脊醫治療可有效診斷、醫治和預防多種機械性痛症，如腰背痛、坐骨神經痛、尾龍骨痛、頸痛、椎間盤突出、頭痛等。詳情請參閱常見症狀。近年研究顯示，這些常見的慢性痛症以及相關的症狀如麻痺、肌肉乏力、平衡力欠佳、甚至消化功能失調等，往往由相關的神經系統紊亂所引起。因此，除了臨床治療外，脊醫亦會針對訓練腦部與身體協調的能力，以強化神經系統功能，從而改善整體健康。
