Is chiropractic care safe?
Chiropractic care is not risk-free and suitability differs from person to person. Your practitioner will take a history, assess your needs and discuss expected benefits, possible risks and alternatives before care begins.
What happens during an adjustment?
An adjustment uses a controlled movement or force to a joint. There are different techniques, including lower-force options, and your practitioner will explain what is proposed and seek your consent first.
Is chiropractic care suitable for children or older people?
Suitability depends on the individual, their health history and current needs. The practitioner will assess each person and adapt care where appropriate, or recommend another provider when chiropractic care is not suitable.
Will I need a GP referral?
No GP referral is generally required to book a private chiropractic appointment. Some third-party funding or care arrangements may have their own requirements, so please check when booking.
How long will I need care?
There is no standard timeframe. It depends on your presentation, goals and response to care. Your practitioner will explain a suitable plan and review progress with you.
Does an adjustment hurt?
Experiences vary. Some people notice brief discomfort or temporary soreness, while others do not. Tell your practitioner how you feel so care can be adjusted to your comfort.
What should I wear or bring?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy movement. Bring relevant scans, reports, medication details and any WorkCover or TAC information that may help your practitioner understand your situation.
What is the difference between chiropractic and physiotherapy?
Both professions may support musculoskeletal concerns, but their assessment methods, techniques and emphasis can differ. The right option depends on your needs; your practitioner can explain their approach and refer when appropriate.
