Chiropractic adjustments should not be painful, and if you ever feel discomfort during an adjustment, it’s important to let your chiropractor know. In some cases, especially during your first few adjustments, you may feel temporary stiffness or soreness similar to the feeling after exercising for the first time in a while. This is usually a positive sign that your body is adapting and making changes, and it typically resolves quickly.
Are you registered with health funds?
Yes, we are registered with all major health funds. We provide detailed receipts or regular tax statements, making it easy for you to claim your rebates. We can issue receipts at any time, as long as your adjustments have been paid for, so you can keep your health fund claims up to date whenever you need.
What does a chiropractor do?
Chiropractors are trained healthcare professionals who focus on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those related to the spine. At Health in Hands, we use a range of adjustment techniques including manual adjustments with the use of specialised adjusting tables and impulse instruments to help restore spinal health and optimal function. Firmer adjustments are perfect for some people, while lower force adjsutmetns are better suited to others. We may use x-rays, posture analysis, spinal palpation and a lifestyle history to determine and understand any areas of dysfunction in
your spine.
How much is an adjustment?
Adjustments range from $52 to $74, with flexible care and payment plans available. We’ll walk you through the options before you begin care.
What if I’m not sure chiropractic is right for me?
That’s okay – we promise that if we can’t help you, we’ll let you know. You’re always welcome to come in for a consult and we’ll give you honest guidance.
Our approach is different, and it’s one of the reasons Chiropractic can be so effective in addressing issues like back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Rather than simply masking symptoms with painkillers or anti-inflammatories, we focus on finding and correcting the underlying cause of your symptoms.
We assess your spine and related areas for signs of misalignment, reduced mobility, degeneration, and associated muscle dysfunction, giving us a complete understanding of what’s driving your pain whether it’s from the joints, muscles, or both. This thorough evaluation also helps us determine if we’re the right practitioners to assist you.
We care for patients of all ages, from newborns to those in their 90s. The type of adjustment and the amount of force used are always tailored to be age appropriate, ensuring it’s safe and comfortable. We believe everyone, no matter their age, deserves to move well and feel their best.
What is the difference between physiotherapy and chiropractic?
Physiotherapists are soft tissue specialists who are highly skilled in treating injuries such as torn ligaments or supporting recovery after surgery. Chiropractors are experts in the spine and focus restoring proper alignment and movement to the joints. When your joints move correctly, your muscles can function as they should, helping your body move better, feel better and last better. The right practioner for you depends on the underlying cause of your symptoms. At Health in Hands we can help you to know that answer.
