Your chiropractor will explain the benefits and risks of any treatment before you start. Chiropractic care typically involves hands-on technique or the use of small tools. Chiropractors undergo extensive training, often spanning 5 years, to perform adjustments and other therapies with precision. This training helps ensure that treatments are conducted safely, aiming to keep every treatment as comfortable as possible.

Yes. Many people see a chiropractor during pregnancy for many common pregnancy-related discomforts including lower back, sciatica, and pelvic discomfort. We use gentle techniques adapted for each stage of pregnancy, and your chiropractor will talk you through whether care is suitable for you.

Absolutely!

Yes, we welcome families at our clinic. Chiropractic assessments and care for infants and children are very different from adult care, using highly modified, gentle techniques tailored specifically to a child's age and physical development.

For babies and toddlers, the techniques involve very light pressure and gentle holding positions—often using no more pressure than you would use to test the ripeness of an avocado.

However, there are specific cases where a referral from a GP may be required, such as for Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) or Chronic Disease Management plans. Additionally, insurance plans such as ICWA (Insurance Commission of Western Australia) and Worker's Compensation often require a GP referral for coverage. If you have questions about whether you need a referral based on your specific situation or insurance requirements, please discuss it with us.
