What Is Chiropractic Care?
The nervous system controls the function of the entire human body, making it central to overall health. Chiropractors use a range of physical techniques to restore proper function to the spine, which can impact the entire body. By addressing misalignments or dysfunctions in the spine, chiropractic care aims to optimise the body’s natural ability to heal itself and maintain optimal health.
In chiropractic care, techniques such as massage, chiropractic adjustments, mobilisation, and spinal manipulation, as well as treatment of related tissues and joints, are utilised. These methods can restore joints to their normal range of motion, alleviate nervous system pressure, and relieve pain. Chiropractic care is recognised for its gentle approach, aiming to address not just symptoms but also the root causes of discomfort for long-term relief and improved function. This holistic method makes chiropractic care a beneficial option for individuals seeking non-invasive solutions for a range of musculoskeletal issues.

What Happens During My First Chiropractic Visit?
From the moment you step in for your initial chiropractic consultation, we strive to make you feel comfortable and welcome. Your chiropractor near Bonbeach will review your case history and perform a physical assessment. This might involve testing your reflexes, your range of motion, and conducting other standard orthopaedic, neurological, and postural exams. This helps the chiropractor gather important information about your current health status to better understand how chiropractic can benefit you.
With all the relevant information gathered, we work alongside you to design a chiropractic treatment plan that focuses on relieving your immediate discomfort and tackling any underlying causes that may be affecting your overall health.
Common Questions About Chiropractic
What types of techniques are used by chiropractors?
Chiropractors employ a variety of techniques to address musculoskeletal issues and improve overall body function. These techniques include spinal adjustments, which involve applying controlled force to specific spinal joints to correct alignment and enhance mobility. Soft tissue therapies, such as massage and myofascial release, can be used to reduce muscle tension and improve circulation. Chiropractors also utilise mobilisation techniques, which involve gentle movements to increase the range of motion in joints. Additionally, they may incorporate rehabilitation exercises, ergonomic advice, and lifestyle counselling to support long term health and prevent future injuries.
Can chiropractic be claimed through private health insurance?
Many private health insurance plans offer chiropractic services under their extras cover, enabling policyholders to claim a portion of treatment costs. Coverage extent and reimbursement amounts can vary based on the specific health fund and level of cover. It is recommended to check with your insurance provider for details on your coverage and any relevant limits or requirements.
Can chiropractic be used as part of injury rehabilitation?
Chiropractic care can play a crucial role in injury rehabilitation. Chiropractors are skilled at treating musculoskeletal injuries from sports, workplace accidents, and motor vehicle incidents. Techniques like spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapies, and personalised exercise programs help alleviate pain, restore function, and facilitate healing. Chiropractic care focuses on the injury’s root cause, improving mobility, and preventing recurrence, making it a valuable part of a comprehensive rehabilitation approach.
Do you provide other services?
In addition to chiropractic care, we provide remedial massage and myotherapy. Your chiropractor might refer you to other practitioners for additional therapy as part of a holistic treatment plan, or you can independently book with our massage therapists and myotherapists.
How many times should I visit a Chiropractor?
Chiropractic visit frequency depends on your condition, overall health, and treatment goals. Initially, more frequent visits may be required to tackle acute pain or significant misalignments. As your condition improves, visit frequency typically reduces. Your chiropractor will design a personalised treatment plan for you and discuss it during your first consultation.
Is it safe to get Chiropractic adjustments?
Chiropractic adjustments are usually deemed safe when conducted by a qualified and licensed chiropractor. They offer a non-invasive treatment option aimed at enhancing spinal function and reducing pain. Some patients might experience mild soreness or discomfort post-adjustment, but these symptoms are generally short-term. Serious complications are rare, particularly when the chiropractor is aware of the patient’s medical history and current health.
Do I require a referral to see a Chiropractor?
No GP referral is needed to see a Bonbeach chiropractor. Chiropractors are allied healthcare practitioners, allowing direct appointment scheduling. However, if you have a specific medical condition or are being treated by another healthcare provider, it might be beneficial to talk about your chiropractic care with them to ensure a coordinated approach to your health and treatment.
