We see patients across all stages of the lifespan (from newborns, children and pregnant women to the elderly).

 

Our patients range from tradesman, desk workers, farmers, athletes and weekend warriors, elderly or retirees, students and families.

How do you help?

Our practitioners use a wide range of evidence based techniques to help our patients. In consultation with you, we decide the most appropriate treatment plan based on your preference for techniques, your diagnosis, your health history and lifestyle.


Chiropractors may utilise joint mobilisations and manipulations as well as low force techniques (activator, pelvic blocks), soft tissue therapy, dry needling, exercise rehabilitation, and lifestyle advice.


Chiropractors can also detect conditions that are not treatable in our clinic, and will refer patients to the most appropriate health practitioner.

Cancellation Policy

Please phone the clinic with at least 24 hours notice if you can’t make an appointment. This allows us to contact someone else who may require the appointment time.

Our cancellation policy is in place to protect & respect the time of both our practitioners, and other valued patients who may be waiting on our cancellation list for upcoming appointments. 


A fee will be charged for missed appointments, or appointments cancelled with less than 24 hrs notice. 

No further appointments will be made until the fee is paid.
