Back pain

Yes, when done by a trained professional. We’re always gentle and adapt our approach based on what your body needs. We never push through pain.

Absolutely. Stress can tighten the muscles and restrict movement, and posture affects how your spine and joints carry load all day long. These things add up—but the good news is, they can also be improved.

Chiropractors and physiotherapists both help with musculoskeletal pain, but they focus on different methods. Chiropractic care specializes in spinal adjustments and joint mechanics, helping restore proper nerve function and movement. Physiotherapy emphasizes rehabilitation through manual therapy, exercise, and movement re-education.

At Roots Health Clinic in Prague, our team works together—so you get the benefits of both approaches, tailored to your specific condition.

That sound is called a cavitation—it’s just gas (mostly nitrogen) releasing from the joint. It’s painless and completely normal. Not all techniques create a popping sound, and some people prefer gentle, low-force adjustments.

Absolutely. Many of our patients are over 60 and want to maintain mobility and independence. We adjust techniques to suit each person’s needs, including those with osteoporosis, arthritis, or limited movement. Regular care can improve joint function and quality of life at any age.

No treatment “cures” sciatica, but chiropractic can help reduce nerve irritation, improve spinal function, and relieve pressure that contributes to sciatic pain. We also guide you in movement and recovery strategies so your body can heal itself more effectively.

They’re most effective when combined. Chiropractic restores joint function, while physiotherapy and functional movement help you build strength, coordination, and body awareness. At Roots, we focus on giving you tools for lasting change—not just quick fixes.

Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. For chiropractic sessions, you may be asked to remove a layer depending on the treatment area, but you’ll always be properly covered and respected.

Please let us know at least 24 hours in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule. You can do this by phone, email, or through our booking system.

Yes. Chiropractic care is a safe, evidence-based practice when performed by a trained professional. Like any treatment, there may be mild soreness after the first session, but serious side effects are extremely rare. Our chiropractor is licensed and experienced, and every technique is adapted to your age, health status, and comfort level.

Not usually. We do a full assessment to see what’s going on first. If we think imaging would help, we’ll refer you to someone we trust.

Healing takes time—and consistency matters.

Acute issues may improve faster, but most people need multiple visits to see lasting results. At Roots, we’ll create a personalized care plan based on your condition, goals, and lifestyle. We’ll track your progress together and adjust as needed.

Chiropractic and physiotherapy aren’t “quick fixes.” True healing requires your active participation—showing up, doing the exercises, and making small changes outside the clinic. If you're ready to commit, we’ll guide you every step of the way.

No. Pain is just one reason to seek care. Many people visit us to prevent injuries, improve posture, recover from strain at work, or boost athletic performance. Others simply want to move better and feel more aligned in their bodies. If something doesn’t feel right, we’re here to help—even if it’s not painful yet

We combine chiropractic, physiotherapy, and functional movement under one roof—guided by a holistic, root-cause approach. We don’t just treat pain; we look at your whole system: posture, breathing, movement patterns, stress, and more. Our goal is to help you understand your body, feel empowered, and maintain long-term health.
