FAQS

will my private health fund cover any of the appointment?

We have HICAPS claim on-the-spot available. This means you can swipe your card and get your private health rebate at the time of your appointment. Most health funds will cover some (if not most) of your chiropractic appointment, it depends on your level of cover.

Do I need a referral?

No, a referral is not needed to make a Chiropractic or Exercise Physiology appointment. In the event your general practitioner refers you under the Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) or Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan, then you can claim a portion of your fees from Medicare. This will require direct liaison with your GP prior to consultation at our clinic.

We also accept those with a Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) card.

What is a chiropractic adjustment?

Chiropractic adjustment is a procedure in which trained specialists (chiropractors) use their hands or a small instrument to apply a controlled force to a spinal joint. The goal of this procedure, also known as spinal manipulation, is to improve spinal motion and improve your body's physical function.

are spinal adjustments painful?

Most of the time, a spinal adjustment will not hurt at all. In fact, most patients feel great relief after receiving one. On some occasions, such as an acute injury, it may feel ‘uncomfortable’, like your doctor is momentarily pressing on a bruise or like the sensation of sore muscles after a workout. Over time, as your nervous system integrates the effects of the adjustments, most people feel a continuing sense of ease. This is one reason why many people make chiropractic an important part of their healthy lifestyle.

What is the cracking/popping sound in an adjustment?

The popping sound during spine manipulation is just air being released between joints. No bones are cracked or harmed during any adjustment!

Do you treat more than just backs?

Chiropractors are trained to care for all of the joints in your body, they are experts in the musculoskeletal system. Back pain is the most common reason for visits to the chiropractor, followed closely by neck pain and headaches. Conditions such as tendonopathies, osteoarthritis, ligamentous sprains, and chronic pain syndromes all benefit from chiropractic care and it is usually the appropriate first line of treatment.
