Does private insurance cover chiropractic?

Yes. Chiropractic care may be covered by private health insurance if you have the appropriate extras and level of cover.

Should I go straight to a chiropractor instead of seeing a GP first?

It depends on your situation and preferences. Chiropractors take a holistic approach and focus on improving spinal function through adjustments, while GPs may prioritise symptom management (such as medication, injections, or surgery).

What is the difference between a physiotherapist and a chiropractor?

Chiropractors use spinal adjustments to restore joint mobility and reduce discomfort. Physiotherapists commonly use exercise-based rehab, soft-tissue work, and joint techniques to improve strength and range of motion.

What is the difference between an osteopath and a chiropractor?

Chiropractors focus primarily on the spine and its relationship to the nervous system and overall function. Osteopaths often take a broader musculoskeletal approach and may also integrate other areas of care depending on their training and scope of practice.

What is chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a form of alternative healthcare that focuses on mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system - especially the spine - and how structure (spine) relates to function (nervous system coordination).

What conditions can chiropractors help with?

Chiropractic care may support a wide range of concerns, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, arthritis, whiplash, sprains/strains, overuse injuries, low energy, and poor sleep, depending on individual circumstances.

Can I bring my child to the chiropractor?

Yes. We offer gentle paediatric chiropractic care to support children's nervous system function. Many mums-to-be also choose natural care to help with common pregnancy-related aches and discomforts.

Does chiropractic cure everything?

No, chiropractic doesn't "cure" anything. We aim to reduce interference in the nervous system so the body can function at its best, which may help you feel better over time.
