Why Visit Our Clinic?
Get a Comprehensive Deep Dive into You and Your Pain
One Hour First Visit
We help people with their pain puzzle. We spend the time in your first visit to really understand you and your situation.
Our patients come in with a myriad of issues (some they don't even realise) and together we create a clear picture through a thorough initial consult.
Natural Healthcare Treatment
As chiropractors, we focus on natural healthcare treatments, and do not perform surgery or prescribe medicine. We are trained, however, to diagnose conditions that would require treatment from a medical doctor - and refer patients to the proper healthcare provider.
Screen for Specific Pathology
We always screen for red flags such as an infection, fractures, inflammatory disease, trauma, or cauda equina.
Whether you are suitable for chiropractic care or not. We will use our expertise to guide you to your health goals. We are always happy to refer patients to appropriate healthcare professionals.
Evidence Based Practice
We are always learning and evolving to deliver evidence based practices. We work with patients to give them the care that puts them in control. We solidly believe that patients cannot get their best results being an inactive/passive participant in their health journey.
By changing the focus from illness to wellness, we love to help patients get back to their life. Whether that is running, playing with the kids or simply getting back to everyday activities with confidence.
We Want to Keep You Moving
You don't need to be a triathlete to stay healthy.
Regular (2-4 times/week) moderate exercise provides major health benefits. Any physical movement enhances health though.
Whether your goals are playing sports competitively or just bending over to pick up the grandkids. We want you to be moving confidently and happily.
Movement is the key to health. And our clinic appreciates that your health is YOUR health. That is why we are focused on helping you have the confidence and knowledge of how best to look after yourself based on your goals. This includes giving you an appropriate clinical assessment, personalised treatment and plan. A regimen that may keep you away from our clinic but will give you confidence to refer your friends and family to us.
And when you do need us, we will always be happy to help you on your health journey.

Is this your pain? One minute lesson
In one minute, here is a simple exercise to demonstrate pain without 'injury' or 'damage'. Pain that will never show up on a scan.
Step 1. Tense your fist hard with your right hand. Left hand stays relaxed.
Step 2. Now raise your arms anywhere you like and start to rotate your wrists continually in a circle for 30-60 seconds.
Step 3. Notice the pain.
The pain for this condition will never show up on a scan. This pain is very much real. But there is no 'injury' or 'damage'.
"Brace your core", "don't lift weights", "rest if it hurts", "you can't ever run again", "avoid bending", "sit tall", "you need strong drugs"... Non-evidence based advice has created a major problem for a lot of people.
This is the pain that happens when we 'protect' and 'tense' our once painful body part. A bad habit (conscious or unconsciously) of protecting can easily create a new pain for us. While we have recovered, our body and mind may not have realised.
Then by stopping movements, we can also atrophy and create even more issues. A weak body that doesn't move will always be in pain if subjected to exercises all of a sudden. The body is anti-fragile though. The more you move, train and understand your body - the more you can achieve. Including managing your pain.
What to Ask Your Medical Professional
Before you undergo any treatment. It is important to be informed. A medical professional is in a position of authority. So it may feel strange to ask but it is critical if you want to follow evidence based health care.
Here are four questions to help you be informed:

Your Secret to Health Focused Care
Chiropractors work with world class athletes to focus on health
It's a shame most GPs generally only send patients to the physiotherapist or chiropractor when they don't have a prescription or surgery to recommend.
From working with world class athletes to helping hundreds of varied cases in the clinic. Chiropractors are able to focus a lot more on wellness and health. With such varied experience focused on wellness, chiropractors are getting breakthroughs in health every year.
With the chiropractic profession so involved in professional sports, chiropractors are getting access to direct insight into the role of nutrition, sleep, technology and the impact of highly specific sport movements on the human body. Chiropractors are able to gain insights and develop specific sport treatments - running, cycling, golf, swimming, basketball to name a few.
With so much specific knowledge shared amongst the chiropractic community. The ability to create tailored and targeted treatment plans becomes like a well fitted suit. A privilege that chiropractors get to share. Treatments that are used on professional athletes are used just as much to help their clinic patients.
