Chiropractic Services
Chiropractic is a drug and surgery free modality of treatment concerned with the diagnosis, management and prevention of disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine; this includes the effects of these disorders on the nervous system and general health.
By utilising their clinical experience and a variety of non-surgical techniques, such as specific spinal adjustments, manual therapy and low-force intervention, chiropractors offer a hands-on approach to spinal healthcare.
There is a common misconception that chiropractic care involves a singular therapeutic technique - spinal adjustment or spinal manipulation. Chiropractors use a patient-centred, multi-modal type of care, providing a therapeutic approach to care that incorporates a range of manual therapies. This may include spinal adjustments, but also includes mobilisation, muscle and soft tissue techniques along with exercise prescription, nutritional recommendations and lifestyle advice.
Australian chiropractors are highly qualified healthcare professionals who study at university for a minimum of five years and are government regulated and registered. Like all other healthcare providers, chiropractors adhere to national law and profession-specific codes of conduct. All chiropractors must undertake continuing professional development to maintain registration.
