Our Chiropractic Services
General Chiropractic
Our chiropractic team can assist men and women of all ages with managing pain and other problems associated with musculoskeletal system and nervous system issues. Book an initial assessment with one of our chiropractors, or read our guide to find out what happens at your first adjustment.
Pregnancy Chiropractic
Women often experience pelvic pain, back discomfort, stiffness, and headaches during pregnancy, alongside issues like sciatica and postural fatigue. Chiropractic care offers support during pregnancy by balancing the pelvis and relieving muscle strain. Learn more about chiropractic care during pregnancy.
Paediatric Consultations
We understand that trusting someone with your child’s health is important to you. Some reasons we are often consulted include discomfort during tummy time, feeding difficulties, tongue tie assessment, torticollis, hip dysplasia, and plagiocephaly (flattening of the head). Contact us for more information.
How it works
Book an initial assessment
During your first visit, we will carefully review your health history and conduct a thorough orthopaedic and neurological examination of your spine and nervous system. X-rays and other tests may be recommended to better understand your health needs.
Treatment plan
In subsequent visits, we will explain our findings and their implications for your current and future health. Your chiropractor will recommend a clear treatment plan, with options to suit your needs and health goals.
Complete your sessions
Throughout your treatment, we will provide simple and effective tools to help you maintain your well-being between visits. Our fees are designed to minimise out-of-pocket expenses while ensuring you receive quality chiropractic care.
Conditions general chiropractic care can help with
Back pain
Neck pain
Neck pain is a common problem, which up to 50% of people will experience in their lifetime. Local pain, stiffness, and difficulty turning can indicate joint issues in your neck, which may irritate nearby nerves and cause muscle weakness or tightness. Our chiropractors can diagnose and treat neck pain, helping you understand its cause and develop an effective treatment plan.
Headaches and migraines
Currently, around 4 million Australians take pain medication to mask their headache symptoms. Many patients think headaches and migraines are a normal part of life, but they can actually signal underlying issues. We can help pinpoint the specifics: when headaches start, how movement affects them, their type, duration, and frequency, and their impact on your life. However your headache or migraine shows up, we’re here to help.
Poor posture
We understand that poor posture can affect you mentally and physically, causing slouched appearance, neck humps, and physical pain. While the causes and impacts of poor posture can vary, chiropractic care can assist in accurately identifying the problem and implementing an effective treatment plan.
Dizziness and vertigo
Dizziness or vertigo can come on when your body isn’t clear on where it is in space. We call this proprioception, and when this isn’t working properly it can leave you feeling unsteady, nauseous and even unsafe on your feet. Our chiropractic team can help to identify the cause of your dizziness and vertigo, and therefore help you to resolve it as quickly as possible.
Shoulder pain
Roughly one in four Australians experience shoulder pain. Symptoms, such as pain or catching during arm movement, arm weakness, or arm numbness, can develop suddenly or gradually over time. Our chiropractors conduct thorough examinations to pinpoint the source of your shoulder pain, and can create a tailored plan to improve your shoulder function.
About chiropractic care
The chiropractic profession, established in 1895, is based on the understanding that a properly functioning spine and nervous system are crucial to human health. Chiropractors are trained to help treat issues related to your musculoskeletal system and nervous system. This includes advising on healthy lifestyle habits, teaching methods to improve posture, offering guidance on desk ergonomics, and performing chiropractic adjustments and spinal manipulation techniques.
