What makes your Central clinic different from other chiropractors?
Multi-Disciplinary Integration vs. Chiropractic-Only
Most Central chiropractic clinics operate as standalone practices. HK Spine Centre, ATLAS Chiropractic, Agape Chiropractic, and others focus exclusively on chiropractic care. If you need physiotherapy, massage, or TCM, you must visit separate clinics.
At Total Health by Hong Kong Sports Clinic, chiropractors work within a coordinated team that includes:
- Physiotherapists — For exercise-based rehabilitation
- Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners — For acupuncture support
- Massage therapists — For soft tissue treatment
- Personal trainers — For strength and conditioning post-recovery
- Yoga & Pilates teachers – For core strength, posture and mobility
If your recovery benefits from multiple approaches, coordination happens internally. One patient record. Shared treatment goals. No repeating your history to different clinics.
Program-Based Care vs. Session by Session
Most chiropractic clinics operate session-by-session. You book appointments indefinitely or even pressured into buy big packages of sessions, until you decide to stop.
Our care follows structured phases: Stabilise → Build → Resilience. At each checkpoint, we review progress and adjust direction. You have a clear treatment plan from the start.

Dual-Qualified Practitioners
Dr. Bill Leung holds qualifications in both chiropractic (B.ChiroSc, M.Chiro) and physiotherapy (B.Physio), unique in Central. This dual expertise allows him to integrate spinal manipulation with exercise rehabilitation—an approach research shows produces better outcomes than either discipline alone.
What conditions does your Central chiropractor treat?
Back Pain
Back pain is the most common reason patients visit chiropractors in Central. Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in 2017 found that spinal manipulation provides significant improvements in pain and function for acute low back pain.
Our Central chiropractors treat:
- Lumbar disc bulges and herniations
- Facet joint dysfunction
- Sacroiliac joint pain
- Muscular lower back strain
- Sciatica and referred leg pain
- Degenerative disc disease
Neck Pain
Cervical spine dysfunction is common among Central’s office-based population. According to a 2022 study in the European Spine Journal, desk workers spending more than six hours daily at computers show significantly higher rates of cervical disc problems.
We treat:
- Cervical facet joint irritation
- Disc-related neck pain
- Forward head posture
- Text neck syndrome
- Cervicogenic headaches
- Upper back and shoulder tension
- Whiplash-associated disorders
Headaches
Cervicogenic headaches—those originating from neck dysfunction—respond particularly well to chiropractic care. A systematic review in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that spinal manipulation may be as effective as preventive medications for tension-type and cervicogenic headaches.

Central’s desk-based workforce commonly presents with postural dysfunction:
- Upper crossed syndrome (rounded shoulders, forward head)

Elaine is definitely the best Chiropractor in town! I had lower back pain issues due to long hours working from home, but feeling so much better after a few visits. Will definitely recommend Elaine to my friends!

Bill is the one chiropractor I have ever seen who really takes his time to diagnose the cause of my pain-points, fixing them, and prescribing the exercises needed to help me get back on my feet.
