What is chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a healthcare profession that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. The foundational principle of chiropractic is that the body has an innate ability to heal and maintain itself when the nervous system is functioning properly.
The primary method of treatment in chiropractic is the chiropractic adjustment, which involves the manual manipulation of the spine and other joints to restore proper alignment and function. Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to adjust the spine and other areas of the body, with the goal of relieving pain, improving mobility, and enhancing overall health.
Some key aspects of chiropractic include:
1. Emphasis on the spine and nervous system: Chiropractors believe that misalignments or dysfunction in the spine (known as "subluxations") can cause interference with the nervous system, leading to a variety of health problems. By correcting these spinal issues, chiropractors aim to improve nervous system function and the body's ability to heal itself.
2. Holistic approach: Chiropractic care is often considered a holistic approach to healthcare, as it focuses on treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. Chiropractors may incorporate lifestyle recommendations, nutritional advice, and other therapies in addition to spinal adjustments.
3. Non-invasive treatment: Chiropractic care is generally considered a non-invasive, drug-free approach to healthcare. Chiropractors use manual techniques, rather than surgery or medication, to address musculoskeletal issues.
4. Evidence-based practice: The chiropractic profession has evolved over time, with an increasing emphasis on evidence-based practice and integrating the latest research into clinical decision-making.
Chiropractic care is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint pain, and even certain types of chronic illnesses. Many people also seek chiropractic care for preventive and wellness purposes, to maintain optimal spinal and nervous system function.

What does chiropractic treatment involve?
At Rin Spine Clinic, we understand that every patient is unique. That's why we take the time to carefully assess your condition and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Our holistic approach combines the latest chiropractic techniques with evidence-based therapies to address the root cause of your discomfort.
The heart of the chiropractic treatment method involves 'chiropractic adjustment'. During a chiropractic adjustment, a chiropractor uses hands (or a device) to apply a controlled, rapid force to a specific spinal joint in order to realign the spine.
What happens during your first visit?
During your initial consultation, one of our skilled chiropractors will perform a thorough evaluation to identify the root cause of your symptoms. This may include a physical examination, review of your medical history, and advanced diagnostic imaging if necessary. Based on this assessment, we will develop a customized treatment plan to address your specific needs.
Our chiropractic treatments are designed to be safe, effective, and comfortable for patients of all ages and backgrounds. Depending on your condition and treatment plan, your visits may include:
Spinal adjustments: Our chiropractors use gentle, targeted adjustments to realign the spine and joints, relieving pressure on the nerves and improving overall function.
Soft tissue therapy: Massage, stretching, and other manual techniques are used to release muscle tension and improve flexibility.
Rehabilitative exercises: We may prescribe specific exercises and stretches to help strengthen the musculoskeletal system and prevent future injuries.
Nutritional counseling: Our chiropractors can provide guidance on how diet and nutrition can support your overall health and recovery.

Insurance Claims
Kindly note:
Every insurance provider and policy is different.
If you'd like to claim back fees, it is your responsibility to ensure you read, understand and follow the terms of coverage and claims submission process of your insurance policy.
Rin Spine Center takes no responsibility for handling, submitting or advising on insurance claims. However, we're very happy to provide treatment receipts for all treatment sessions you attend.
Claiming chiropractic treatment fees back on insurance
Many private health insurance plans in Hong Kong cover chiropractic care and many of our patients claim back their fees from their insurers.
If you would like to claim back fees for treatment, you should check your insurance policy carefully for what kinds of treatment it covers and the terms for making a claim.
Be sure to check your insurance policy for:
-
Does it cover chiropractic treatment?
➡ Great news! You've got cover.
-
Do you need a referral letter from a medical doctor / General Practitioner (GP)?
➡ Go ahead and book an appointment with a GP: mention your area/s of pain, when the pain started and request they address their letter to "Chiropractor".
➡ Insurance companies typically allow patients to claim for repeated visits over a period of time (e.g. six months) in relation to symptoms stated in a referral letter.
Some insurance policies require a written referral from a GP. Some don't.
If your policy requires a GP referral letter and you wish to make a claim, please consult your GP first and bring your referral letter when you visit us for the first time.
Claiming x-ray imaging fees back on insurance
Depending on the specific nature of your condition and physical assessment, your chiropractor may recommend ordering x-ray images (or other forms of diagnostic imaging) to help confirm a diagnosis.
It appears that some insurance companies also require a referral from a medical doctor / General Practitioner (GP) in order to claim back fees for diagnostic imaging.
In these cases, the exact wording of the requested x-ray views may be required (which we can provide on your receipt and which you can show to your GP).
This may, in effect, mean a patient is required to visit the GP twice in order to claim fees for both chiropractic treatment and diagnostic imaging, following this order:
a) Patient visits GP and obtains referral letter for chiropractic treatment
b) Patients visits chiropractor and receives treatment
c) Patient visits GP and obtains referral letter for diagnostic imaging
d) Patient attends diagnostic imaging
e) Patient submits claims.
However, as mentioned, insurance policies differ tremendously so you should familiarise yourself with the specifics of your policy if you intend to make a claim.
