Chiropractors use hands-on care to improve spine and brain health, without the use of medication or surgery.

People commonly seek Chiropractic care for things like back pain, neck pain or headaches. Some people also seek Chiropractic care, not for any particular health problem or injury, but to prevent spinal conditions and look after themselves proactively.

Chiropractic care has an excellent safety record in Australia, and is considered a low-risk form of alternative healthcare. Australian Chiropractors are regulated by AHPRA and must adhere to specific codes of conduct. As with any healthcare intervention, the potential for adverse events may exist, however we perform extensive testing to minimize the risk of any adverse event taking place under our care.

X-rays may be helpful to determine the potential cause of a problem and to ensure that it’s safe to provide care. Your practitioner will determine whether an X-ray may be required. Pregnant women and young children aren’t advised to have X-rays taken.

Yes, Chiropractic care for children is generally considered safe. There are more than a million paediatric visits to Chiropractors in Australia each year. Some parents might be hesitant to seek Chiropractic care for their child, believing that their child may receive similar care to that of an adult. However, our care is always modified to suit the size and development of the child.

This is entirely up to you, as you get to choose how long you receive Chiropractic care.

Some people choose to cease having care once their initial symptoms have improved.

However, much like exercising and eating well, which done regularly yield more sustainable results, some people may choose to have a regular checkup to look after their health proactively.
