Chiropractor Belvedere Park
For over three decades, Mt Eliza Chiropractic Clinic has been delivering Chiropractic care to Belvedere Park and neighbouring communities.
What Is Chiropractic Care?
The nervous system oversees the function of the entire human body, making it vital for overall health. Chiropractors apply a variety of physical techniques to restore proper spinal function, impacting the whole body. By correcting misalignments or dysfunctions in the spine, chiropractic care aims to optimise the body’s natural ability to heal and uphold 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 Takes Place During My First Chiropractic Consultation?
From your first step through the door for your initial chiropractic consultation, we want you to feel at ease and welcome. Your chiropractor near Belvedere Park will review your case history and carry out a physical assessment. This might involve testing your reflexes, checking your ability to turn and bend, and performing other standard orthopaedic, neurological, and postural exams. This enables the chiropractor to gather valuable insights into your current health status, enhancing the understanding of how chiropractic can best support 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.
Chiropractic Frequently Asked Questions
What techniques do chiropractors use?
Chiropractors use a range of techniques to tackle musculoskeletal issues and enhance overall body function. These methods include spinal adjustments, which apply controlled force to specific spinal joints, aiming to improve alignment and mobility. Soft tissue therapies like massage and myofascial release help reduce muscle tension and boost circulation. Mobilisation techniques, involving gentle joint movements, are also used to help increase range of motion. Chiropractors may also include rehabilitation exercises, ergonomic guidance, and lifestyle counselling to promote long-term health and prevent future injuries.
Is chiropractic covered by private health insurance?
Many private health insurance plans include chiropractic services as part of their extras cover, allowing policyholders to claim a portion of the costs associated with treatments. The extent of coverage and the amount reimbursed can vary depending on the specific health fund and level of cover. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider to understand the details of your coverage and any applicable limits or requirements.
Can chiropractic care assist in injury rehabilitation?
Absolutely, chiropractic care can play a significant role in injury rehabilitation. Chiropractors focus on treating musculoskeletal injuries, including those resulting from sports, workplace accidents, and motor vehicle incidents. By employing techniques such as spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapies, and personalised exercise programs, chiropractors can help reduce pain, restore function, and promote healing. Chiropractic care aims to address the root cause of the injury, improve mobility, and prevent recurrence, making it a valuable component of a comprehensive rehabilitation plan.
Are there additional services available?
Our clinic also offers remedial massage and myotherapy. As part of a comprehensive treatment plan, your chiropractor may refer you to our other practitioners for additional therapy, or you can book with our massage therapists and myotherapists directly.
How often should I visit a Chiropractor?
The number of chiropractic visits needed varies based on your condition, health, and treatment objectives. Initially, frequent visits might be advised for acute pain or significant misalignments. As your condition gets better, visit frequency usually decreases. Your chiropractor will develop a personalised treatment plan and discuss it with you during your initial consultation.
How safe are Chiropractic adjustments?
When performed by a qualified and licensed chiropractor, chiropractic adjustments are generally considered safe. They are a non-invasive treatment method focused on enhancing spinal function and relieving pain. Some patients may experience mild soreness or discomfort after an adjustment, but these symptoms are usually short-lived. Serious complications are rare, particularly when the chiropractor is aware of the patient’s medical history and current health status.
Do I require a referral to see a Chiropractor?
No GP referral is needed to see a Belvedere Park 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.
