How Does Chiropractic Care Work?
The nervous system governs the function of the whole human body, making it crucial to overall well-being. Chiropractors employ various physical methods to restore proper function to the spine, influencing the entire body. By correcting spinal misalignments or dysfunctions, chiropractic care seeks to enhance the body’s natural healing ability and support optimal health.
The techniques in chiropractic care include massage, chiropractic adjustments, mobilisation, and manipulation of the spine and related tissues and joints. These methods help return joints to their normal range of movement, relieve pressure on the nervous system, and alleviate pain. Renowned for its gentle approach, chiropractic care aims to address the root cause of discomfort, not just the symptoms, providing long-term relief and improved function. This holistic approach makes chiropractic care an appealing option for those seeking non-invasive treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.

Chiropractic Care for Children and Infants
Chiropractic care for infants and children is available at Mt Eliza Chiropractic Clinic in Tyabb.
An infant and child chiropractor is a professional skilled in providing gentle chiropractic care to children, always monitoring clinical parameters that may necessitate a referral to other health professionals.
Infants and children can benefit from chiropractic care for conditions including poor posture, scoliosis, and traumatic birth syndrome.
Dr Glenn Maginness, with a keen interest in infants and children’s health, has been exclusively practising with children since 2002. He graduated from RMIT University as a Doctor of Chiropractic in 1986 and obtained a Masters degree in Chiropractic Paediatrics in 1998. Glenn is one of the limited number of chiropractors in Australia to have this qualification.
Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy is also available at Mt Eliza Chiropractic Clinic.
As the body adapts to the growing child during pregnancy, it is not uncommon for expectant mothers to experience pain and discomfort. We pay special attention to the changes in your body, particularly focusing on your spine and nervous system. Our primary objective is to maintain the optimal condition of the spine, pelvis, and nervous system.
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 Tyabb 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the techniques utilised by chiropractors?
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.
Does private health insurance include chiropractic coverage?
Many private health insurance policies include chiropractic services within their extras cover, permitting policyholders to claim a portion of the treatment costs. The extent of coverage and reimbursement amounts can vary by health fund and cover level. It is best to consult your insurance provider to understand your coverage details and any relevant limits or conditions.
Does chiropractic play a role 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.
What other treatments do you offer?
We also provide remedial massage and myotherapy at our clinic. As part of a holistic treatment plan, your chiropractor may refer you to one of our other practitioners for additional therapy, or you are welcome to book with our massage therapists and myotherapists individually.
How frequently should I see a Chiropractor?
The frequency of chiropractic visits is influenced by your specific condition, overall health, and treatment goals. At first, more frequent visits might be recommended for acute pain or significant misalignments. As your condition improves, the visit frequency generally decreases. Your chiropractor will craft a personalised treatment plan suited to your needs and discuss it with you at your initial 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.
Must I have a referral to consult a Chiropractor?
You do not need a referral from a GP to see a Tyabb chiropractor. Chiropractors are allied healthcare practitioners, which means you can schedule an appointment directly. However, if you have a specific medical condition or are under the care of another healthcare provider, it may be beneficial to discuss your chiropractic care with them to ensure a coordinated approach to your health and treatment.
