FAQs

What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is based on the premise that the body can respond appropriately to its environment, given there is no interference to the nervous system.

Chiropractors identify and correct underlying shifts in the spine that can cause interference to the nervous system, through gentle and specific techniques called adjustments.

Adjustments help to restore the normal biomechanical structure of the spine, therefore allowing normal function of the nervous system. These structural shifts can cause muscles to spasm, impair of the integrity of ligaments and cause an interference to the nerves travelling down the spinal cord. In other words, the main communication system that connects your brain to your body can be disrupted. These disruptions are called subluxations.

While no one is structurally perfect, there is a normal, healthy range.

In the same manner, we can understand what a fever is because we know what a normal temperature is, or what constitutes high blood pressure because we are aware of the normal range.

There are established norms everywhere we look, including gauges and warning indicators on the dashboard of your car, letting you know when things are abnormal.

As chiropractors, we are looking for a significant shift of the spine away from normal function.

Do you have female chiropractors?

Yes, our team includes multiple female chiropractors who provide gentle, supportive care for patients who prefer this option.

Do you accept private healthcare funds or medicare?

Yes, we accept all major private healthcare funds including bupa, Medibank, NIB, Australian Unity and more. 

We can also service your needs via Medicare under the Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan, which can allow for up to five medicare covered visits in the calendar year.
