needs through both a thorough assessment and an informed consent process.

Is ‘cracking’ my back necessary?

No

Do I have to be in pain or injured to benefit from Chiropractic?
NO. About 25 - 30% of our clients find that regular alignment helps with sleep, performance of daily activities (e.g. it allows people to complete activities
they otherwise could not), such as gardening, fishing, golf, tennis, being able to sit in front of the computer.......the list goes on. Regular treatment is always paired with either an active lifestyle, an exercise program and healthy eating habits

How Long Does the problem take to fix?
This depends on the individual risk factors in your case. We usually can tell after a thorough assessment what the risk factors are in your case. In most cases the number of sessions required relies on

1. Number of Risk Factors in Your Case
2. How much you can do to help yourself. Remember, in general people who are better informed about how to take care of themselves heal faster.
3. Factors such as sleep and nutrition also play a role. These will be addressed at the time of consultation.

From what age can children be treated?
From newborn; especially if they suffer from colic, disturbed sleep or an irritable baby. Keep in mind however that the treatment of babies is completely

NO. Chiropractic treatments can be very beneficial in an elderly population.

What education and training do chiropractors have?

the interest of the general public by ensuring no unqualified people can practice as chiropractors. To maintain registration all chiropractors must complete

registered and undertake appropriate continuing education. All overseas graduates must pass exams to be able to practice in Australia.
