Getting to the clinic
Dr Jenny Li practises at Re:chiro in the Lavender area. Lavender is served by the East West Line, so the most direct arrival is by MRT to Lavender station, followed by a short walk to the clinic; nearby stations on adjacent lines may also be convenient depending on where you start. As the exact unit is not stated here, confirm the building, floor and nearest exit with the clinic when you book.
- By MRT: alight at Lavender and follow the clinic’s directions to the building entrance.
- By bus: a number of services run along the main roads through the Lavender and Kallang area, with stops close by.
- By taxi or ride-hailing: drop-off is available at the building entrance, which is helpful if sitting or walking is uncomfortable.
- By car: ask the clinic about nearby paid parking, as availability varies in this mixed commercial area.
If sciatica or disc pain makes walking or sitting difficult, a taxi or ride-hailing drop-off at the door is usually the easiest option.
What sciatica and disc care covers
This area focuses on conservative care for complaints linked to the spinal discs and the nerves they can affect. Sciatica describes pain, and sometimes tingling, numbness or weakness, that radiates from the lower back down the leg along the path of the sciatic nerve, often related to irritation of a nerve root. Disc-related problems, sometimes described as a slipped or herniated disc, can cause back pain and, where a nerve is involved, leg symptoms.
Re:chiro’s stated focus includes slipped disc and non-surgical spinal decompression, a technique aimed at reducing loading on affected spinal structures. Conservative care for these complaints typically combines hands-on treatment with advice on movement, posture and exercises to support recovery. The aim is to ease pain, support function and help you return to normal activity without surgery where appropriate. Chiropractic is non-surgical, the title “Dr” reflects a Doctor of Chiropractic qualification rather than a medical degree, and chiropractic is not statutorily regulated in Singapore, so confirm qualifications and seek medical review where indicated.
What to expect at a consultation
A first visit usually starts with a detailed history of your back and leg symptoms, how they began, what makes them better or worse, and any neurological symptoms such as numbness, tingling or weakness. A physical examination commonly follows, assessing spinal movement, nerve-related signs such as reflexes, sensation and strength, and tests relevant to nerve irritation.
The chiropractor then explains their findings and a proposed plan, which may include decompression, adjustment or soft-tissue techniques and a structured exercise and activity programme. They should describe what treatment involves and answer your questions. Importantly, if your examination reveals warning signs, a responsible practitioner will advise medical assessment or imaging rather than proceeding with conservative care alone.
Preparing for your appointment
- Bring photo identification and any GP or specialist referral letter or correspondence.
- Bring any spinal imaging you have, such as X-ray, CT or MRI reports of your back.
- List your current medicines and supplements with doses, including any pain relief.
- Wear comfortable, flexible clothing that allows examination and movement.
- Keep a short symptom diary noting where the pain travels, what triggers it and how it affects sitting, walking and sleep.
- Write down your questions and goals in advance.
After your consultation and follow-up
You will usually leave with an explanation of your problem, a treatment plan and self-care advice including exercises and posture guidance. Care for disc-related and sciatic complaints is often delivered over a series of visits and reviewed as your symptoms change. Following the home programme between visits commonly supports recovery.
See the same chiropractor where possible for continuity, and report your progress at each visit. Contact the clinic if symptoms change. Seek urgent medical attention for red-flag features such as new or worsening leg weakness, numbness around the saddle area, or loss of bladder or bowel control, as these require immediate medical assessment. You are always free to seek a second opinion, including a specialist spinal opinion where appropriate.
Booking, referrals and fees
You can usually book directly with the clinic without a referral. Chiropractic care is generally paid out of pocket; MediSave, MediShield Life and Integrated Shield Plans apply to defined conventional medical services rather than to chiropractic in the usual case. Confirm current charges, initial-assessment and follow-up costs, and any package or decompression-programme details directly with the clinic when you book.
Common questions
What is non-surgical spinal decompression?
It is a technique aimed at reducing loading on affected spinal structures as part of conservative care. The chiropractor will explain whether it is suitable for your problem.
Can chiropractic help sciatica?
Conservative chiropractic care is sometimes used for sciatica and disc-related complaints. After examination, the chiropractor will advise whether such care is appropriate or whether medical assessment is needed.
When is this an emergency?
Seek urgent medical care for new or worsening leg weakness, numbness around the saddle area, or loss of bladder or bowel control, as these need immediate assessment.
Will I avoid surgery?
Many disc-related complaints settle with conservative care, but outcomes vary. Where surgery may be needed, a responsible practitioner will advise a specialist opinion.
