What is Chiropractic

A Chiropractor is a spinal care expert with a specialised approach to examination and diagnosis. In addition Chiropractors quite often collaborate with other primary health care practitioners eg. GP’s, neurologists. Chiropractic focuses on disorders and injuries of the joint,muscular and nervous systems, and their affect on general health and quality of life. Chiropractors emphasise the significant relationship between the spine and the nervous system and also treat injuries to the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, and to the hip, knee, ankle and foot. Chiropractic patients are managed primarily by spinal adjustment, other manual treatments, exercise and patient education on lifestyle, nutrition and prevention of injury.This is done without the use of drugs or surgery, enabling the patient to avoid these wherever possible. You do not need a referral to see a Chiropractor. Chiropractors provide a balanced approach to health care that centres around the patient and their wellbeing needs. We highlight the self-healing power of the body and the necessity for personal responsibility in the maintenance of health and well-being.

Who can benefit from Chiropractic

Published research studies demonstrate positive outcomes for patients with low back pain, neck pain and headache. There are also many case studies published that report positive outcomes for patients with a range of other conditions and health concerns. Patients who present fortreatment of musculoskeletal pain and discomfort often report positive changes in other aspects of their health. Chiropractors are trained to conduct a thorough physical assessment and reach a working diagnosis that will best assist in providing the most effective treatment plan.

What to expect

Patients receive a physical and postural assessment, including treatment, upon their initial consultation. Depending on the presenting condition and clinical findings identified by the Chiropractor, the patient will be offered an appropriate plan of conservative chiropracticcare. In many cases a referral for spinal X-rays maybe ordered which is bulk billed through Medicare. The progress of the patient is monitored and documented at every visit and treatment may be changed in response to various outcome measures. In addition, a comprehensivereport of findings will be prepared and be available at the patients subsequent visit.
