How Does Chiropractic Care Work?
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 Can I Expect From My First Visit?
From the time that you walk through the door for your initial chiropractic consultation we want you to feel comfortable and welcome. Your chiropractor near Pearcedale will go through your case history and will take a physical assessment. This may include testing your reflexes, your ability to turn and bend as well as other standard orthopaedic, neurological and postural examinations. This will allow the chiropractor to gain valuable information regarding your current health status so that a better understanding of how chiropractic may best help you is achieved.
After collecting all the necessary information, we collaborate with you to develop a chiropractic treatment plan designed to alleviate your current discomfort and address any underlying issues affecting your overall health.
Common Questions About Chiropractic
What methods do chiropractors use?
Chiropractors employ several techniques to manage musculoskeletal issues and boost overall body function. These methods include spinal adjustments, which involve applying controlled force to spinal joints, aiming to correct alignment and enhance mobility. Soft tissue therapies, including massage and myofascial release, may be used to alleviate muscle tension and improve circulation. Mobilisation techniques, with gentle joint movements, are also applied to help increase the range of motion. Chiropractors may also incorporate rehabilitation exercises, ergonomic advice, and lifestyle counselling to ensure long-term health and prevent future injuries.
Does private health insurance include chiropractic coverage?
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.
Is chiropractic effective in injury rehabilitation?
Yes, chiropractic care can be integral to injury rehabilitation. Chiropractors focus on treating musculoskeletal injuries from sports, workplace accidents, and motor vehicle incidents. Techniques like spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapies, and customised exercise programs help reduce pain, restore function, and promote healing. Chiropractic care targets the injury’s root cause, improves mobility, and prevents recurrence, making it a key part of a holistic 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 many times 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?
Chiropractic adjustments are widely regarded as safe when performed by a qualified and licensed chiropractor. They provide a non-invasive treatment option intended to improve spinal function and ease pain. While some patients may feel mild soreness or discomfort after an adjustment, these symptoms are typically brief. Serious complications are uncommon, especially when the chiropractor is informed of the patient’s medical history and current health.
Do I require a referral to see a Chiropractor?
You don’t need a GP referral to visit a Pearcedale chiropractor. Chiropractors are allied healthcare practitioners, so you can book an appointment directly. However, if you have a specific medical condition or are receiving care from another healthcare provider, it might be helpful to discuss your chiropractic care with them for a coordinated health and treatment approach.
