Feeling stiff and sore (no) thanks to long days in front of your computer screen and/or a sedentary lifestyle? A visit to one of these chiropractors might be just the ticket to fix what ails you.

Chiropractors focus on spinal manipulation and treatment of surrounding structures, with the belief that a proper alignment of the body's musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine, will enable the body to heal itself without surgery or medication.

But keep in mind that because the industry is not formally regulated - chiropractic treatment is considered a form of alternative medicine - it's important to suss out reputable practitioners, for example, through recommendations from your GP, friends or family.

You could also choose from chiropractors who are registered with The Chiropractic Association (Singapore), which "self-regulates" its members with a code of ethics and practice.

Red flags, on the other hand, include hard-sell tactics for "packages" and little to no improvement of condition despite several treatments.

Here are our picks - these chiropractors get consistently glowing reviews online and have been recommended through word-of-mouth for their professionalism and expertise - to get some much-needed relief:

7. Elder Chiropractic Clinic

Don't be fooled by the clinic's appearance - nestled on the second floor of the rather worn The Bencoolen, its cosy but hardly modern interior might make you question why you're there.

But this clinic has been around for a long time and prides itself on its focus on holistic health and relief from pain - nothing gimmicky.

In fact, established in 1978 by Carol S. Elder-Birnbaum, it is the oldest chiropractic practice in Singapore and South-east Asia, so you can be assured you are in safe hands.

The clinic is helmed by senior chiropractor Janet Ruth Sosna, who is considered one of the pioneers of the chiropractic profession in the South-east Asian region.

She is also one of the founding professional members and a past-president of The Chiropractic Association (Singapore).

Sosna and her two other colleagues, Valerie Teo and Nancy Anne Schrauth, treat anything from back pain, neck pain and shoulder pain to numbness and tingling in the back or extremities to even slipped discs and ankle and wrist problems.

Valerie in particular has a bubbly, jovial demeanour that will put you at ease. You'd love this clinic's goal too, that is, to get every patient well as quickly as possible.

Elder Chiropractic Clinic is at #02-19, The Bencoolen, 180 Bencoolen Street, Singapore 189646.
