Visiting From
East Coast to Dempsey Hill
East Coast is the furthest neighborhood on this list. The trip is 25 to 35 minutes, and it's worth being direct about when it makes sense.
About This Trip
From Marine Parade or East Coast Road, the drive to 27A Loewen Road takes 25 to 30 minutes via the ECP westbound, more during peak hours. Grab works the same route. On-site parking at 27A Loewen Road on arrival, though it can fill at busy times.
25 to 35 minutes each way is a real commitment. The trip makes sense for a proper first assessment of something that's been going on for a while: a running or cycling injury that isn't resolving, a persistent back issue, or something you've been managing without a clear answer. If you're still deciding whether it's worth it, what the first visit covers might help you decide.
Who Makes This Trip
ECP runners and cyclists
Saturday-morning ECP regulars who've been running through something for a few weeks. They know something's off. They haven't stopped. They're hoping it settles before the next race or long run.
Marine Parade desk workers
Long days in Katong or East Coast offices, usually neck and lower back building slowly. They know exactly when it started. They've been putting off doing anything about it because nothing is acute enough to feel urgent yet.
Triathlon and endurance athletes
A small but consistent group training the full ECP stretch with complex lower-limb load patterns. I'll want to know your training structure, not just where it hurts.

Running Injuries

Cycling Injuries

Knee Pain
Plain-language guide to knee pain: runner's knee, IT band syndrome, patellar tendinopathy, and why the knee is often a symptom of what's happening at the hip or ankle.
Hip Pain
Plain-language guide to hip pain: hip flexor tightness, bursitis, femoroacetabular impingement, and referred pain. Often the pain is not where the problem is.
Common Questions
Probably, but it depends on the assessment. Knee pain in cyclists is usually a bike-fit issue, a movement pattern issue, or a load management issue, and sometimes all three. What I can offer is a thorough assessment of how your hip, knee, and foot mechanics interact, an honest opinion about whether chiropractic is the right intervention, and a referral if I think something else would serve you better. If you've been riding through knee pain for a few weeks and it's not improving, getting it assessed properly is the right move. My approach.
From Marine Parade Road, the drive to 27A Loewen Road, Dempsey Hill is typically 25 to 30 minutes outside of peak hours, via the ECP westbound or the PIE. During morning rush (7:30 to 9:30am) or evening rush (5:30 to 7:30pm), budget 35 to 40 minutes. If you're taking a Grab, the app's time estimate is usually reliable. I'd suggest leaving a comfortable buffer, especially for a first visit, since the clinic is inside Core Collective at 27A Loewen Road and first-time visitors occasionally need a minute to find the entrance.
Yes. I have appointments available from early morning and into the evening on most days. Early morning slots work well for East Coast patients who want to avoid rush-hour traffic on the ECP. Evening slots are popular for people coming from office locations rather than from home. Book online through Jane App and you'll see the current availability. If there's nothing showing that fits your schedule, contact me directly and I'll see what I can do.
