Chiropractic services focus on diagnosing, treating and preventing mechanical disorders of the spine and usculoskeletal system (bones, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective (tissue) through manual therapy. These disorders can cause great discomfort, affect one’s general health via the nervous system and ultimately disturb one’s overall wellbeing.
The spine in conjunction with the musculoskeletal system works to facilitate vital functions and provides stability and support in the body. For this reason, imbalances and disorders can affect your entire system and day-to-day activities.
Chiropractors are primary contact practitioners, meaning that you can visit one without a referral from your GP. However, if you are being treated through Workers’ Compensation, Chronic Disease Management, Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) or Compulsory Third Party Insurance after a car accident, then please bring your GP’s referral to your initial appointment.
Our practitioners will perform thorough physical assessments, ask you detailed questions and monitor your body’s changes over time, if necessary. This will lead to a diagnosis and a subsequent treatment and management plan. Your practitioner will also recommend preventative measures to ensure that you are well-equipped with the knowledge needed to avoid recurring problems and manage your current symptoms.
