Chiropractor near Red Hill: what we help with
People commonly come to us for:
- Hip pain affecting walking, sleep or getting in and out of the car.
- Sciatica and pain down the back of the leg.
- Low back pain, new or long-standing.
- Upper back tightness and stiffness.
Clinical guidelines for low back pain include spinal manipulation among the options, alongside exercise and staying active. We'll look at whether chiropractic care is a sensible fit for you.
Your first appointment
Your new patient appointment runs 30–40 minutes. It includes your story, posture pictures, and a thorough chiropractic, orthopaedic and neurological check of your spine, joints and nerves.
Whether you're adjusted that day is up to the clinical judgement of your chiropractor. Often there's more testing first. X-rays are requested only when your history and check point to them, and they're bulk billed at the imaging clinic we refer to.
Next is your report of findings appointment ($95): what we found and what we'd do, in plain English. Care may include hands-on adjustments, our flexion-distraction table for low back and disc problems, and home exercises.
New patient appointment: $125 when booked online through this website, rather than $195. New practice members only, one per person.
