Types of Chiropractic Services we offer

Emergency Chiropractic
Sometimes patients sustain an injury in which their neck or back locks, or maybe not much happened but leaves you in severe pain. This often happens on weekends or after hours. We can be contacted for triage, advice, or call-out to clinic on our After Hours Ph 0407-876-714 link to contact us pag
General Chiropractic
Most of our patients have General Chiropractic. This starts with history, assessment, diagnosis leading to a treatment plan. This leads us to design the way forward to help with your problem. Your general chiropractic care includes a range of adjustments types, spinal and extremity manipulation, soft tissue methods, including a holistic approach that encompasses postural advice, customised stretching, strength, and activity modification.
Initially patients seek help for pain, loss of mobility, and stiffness that prevents them from working, or caring for their family, or doing what they love. Often after their initial symptoms resolve they are enthusiastic to stay well, and we can help with this.
