WHAT IS CHIROPRACTICS?

What does a chiropractor do?
Chiropractors are highly skilled healthcare professionals who undergo extensive training and education. They employ a range of hands-on therapies in addition to rehabilitative exercises and are not only limited to joint manipulation or spinal adjustments.
Chiropractors are registered healthcare practitioners and are regulated by an Australian Government body to ensure the safety of the Australian public and to maintain the highest standard for all practitioners.

HOW WILL CHIRO BENEFIT ME?
The benefits of chiropractic care are many:
- Pain Relief: Chiropractic care is renowned for its ability to alleviate pain, particularly in the back, neck, and joints. By addressing the underlying cause of the pain, rather than merely masking the symptoms, chiropractic care offers long-lasting relief.
- Improved Mobility and Function: One of the main benefits of chiropractic care is to restore mobility and function to the spine, enabling better overall movement and flexibility. This is especially beneficial for athletes and individuals who want to enhance their performance and prevent injuries.
- Non-Invasive and Drug-Free Approach: Chiropractic care is a safe and natural alternative to medication and surgery. It focuses on alleviating the root cause of your pain and supports the body’s natural healing abilities, without relying on invasive procedures or pharmaceuticals, making it a preferred choice for many individuals.
PHYSIO VS CHIRO - HOW DO I KNOW WHICH ONE I NEED?
While physiotherapy and chiropractic share some similarities in their goals of relieving pain and restoring function, there are distinct differences in their approaches and techniques:
- TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY
Traditionally, chiropractors would focus on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system. Current evidence for both physiotherapy and chiropractic is guiding practitioners within these scopes to adopt a very similar treatment philosophy. This philosophy focuses on a holistic, patient-centred approach to treating any and all musculoskeletal conditions.
- TECHNIQUES
Traditionally, chiropractors would primarily use spinal manipulation or adjustments as their primary treatment modality. However, current evidence has guided modern physios and chiros to adopt a wide variety of treatment techniques, including manual therapy, exercises, and education.
- SCOPE OF PRACTICE
Both physios and chiros have the same scope of practice, aiming to reduce pain and improve function using expertise in various specialties and in a broad spectrum of conditions.
How do I know when to see a physio vs chiro?
Ultimately, the choice between physiotherapy and chiropractic depends on your specific needs, preferences, and the nature of your condition. Consulting with a physiotherapist can help determine the most appropriate course of action.

WHAT CAN A CHIROPRACTOR TREAT?

- Back and Neck Pain: Chiro care benefits are many! Chiro adjustments are highly effective in relieving pain and improving function in the back and neck, whether it’s due to poor posture, herniated discs, or muscle strain.
- Headaches and Migraines: Many headaches and migraines stem from tension in the neck and upper back. Chiropractic adjustments can provide relief and reduce the frequency and severity of these debilitating headaches.
- Joint Pain and Arthritis: Chiropractic care can alleviate joint pain caused by arthritis or other degenerative conditions, improving mobility and enhancing the quality of life for individuals suffering from these ailments.
- Sports Injuries: Chiropractors are experienced in treating sports-related injuries, such as sprains, strains, and overuse injuries. They not only address the immediate pain but also aid in rehabilitation and prevention of future injuries.
