It might surprise you, but many people see a chiropractor simply to have their spine 'checked'. It’s not really any different to having you teeth checked by a dentist. After all, prevention is a lot cheaper and more effective than trying to repair a spine after several years of damage have occurred. Many [...]
Generally, how long it takes to recover from an injury depends on how long you’ve had the injury, and the severity of the damage. If you injured yourself yesterday, and present today, depending on the injury, it might take days to weeks to recover. If you have saved your injury up for a [...]
Fees are set by consultation. That means you will not come away with a large itemised bill. You pay for our experience and knowledge, rather than our time. If your needs are more complex than a standard consultation allows, we may in some circumstances recommend an extended consultation. For more specific information on prices, please [...]
In general, chiropractic and physiotherapy, like osteopathy or dental care, are not covered by Medicare. In certain circumstances, particularly if you suffer from a chronic medical condition, you may be able to claim up to five treatments under a government program using what is commonly called an EPC plan or the 'Chronic Disease Allied Health [...]

The amount that the health fund will pay, per consultation, and the overall limit that the fund will pay in a year, is individual to your health fund.

When you first visit the chiropractor, you will need to set aside between 45 minutes and an hour. Your second visit will take between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the complexity of your condition and if you have x-rays or other tests that need to be analysed and discussed. Subsequent visits are [...]
In your initial consultation your doctor will need to go through a full history, including any physical or medical problems you might have. Asking for a 'health summary' from your GP can be very helpful and time saving. The health summary should include any medical conditions you have, and a list of any [...]
Chiropractors are primary healthcare practitioners, and therefore you do not need a referral from a GP to attend. All you need to do is call, and book an appointment.
If you have x-rays, scans or other imaging or test reports, it is important that you bring them. Bringing a 'health summary' from your GP can also be very helpful and time saving. The health summary should include any medical conditions you have, and a list of any medications that you might be on, and [...]
