Chiropractic is a health profession that diagnoses, manages, and prevents spinal, bone, and muscular disorders and their effects on the nervous system and general health.
Chiropractic is the world’s largest non-surgical, non-drug prescribing, primary contact health care profession. It is a natural approach to health, based on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system.
In Australia, there are more than 4000 registered Chiropractors, and nearly 200,000 patient visits Chiropractors each week.
Chiropractors are the only health professionals who are specifically trained and qualified to locate and correct misalignments of the spine. With training in the last science and medical concepts, Chiropractors use a range of effective and safe techniques for treating pain.
An
initial chiropractic consultation involves a very thorough history and physical examination, followed by an explanation of your issues and a plan of how to go about resolving them.
Australian Chiropractors study at university for a minimum of five years full-time and are fully licensed health professionals who are governed by the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency.

Here are some Frequently Asked Questions about seeing a Chiropractor:
A chiropractor is trained to make sure your body is functioning as optimally as possible by using spinal manipulations to relieve pain in your joints and muscles. These spinal adjustments will increase blood flow and nerve conductivity to the joints and muscles that are experiencing pain
Chiropractors believe the body's skeletal structure must be aligned correctly to prevent health issues. Chiropractic care draws upon this belief, which is why chiropractors often focus on the condition of your spine. Each patient receives care tailored toward their unique symptoms. When you visit a chiropractor, services may include manual manipulation, spinal decompression, laser therapy, acupuncture, therapeutic massage, or cryotherapy. Chiropractic treatments are non-surgical and non-invasive.
Focusing on your breathing and avoiding tensing your muscles can help you stay relaxed. Also, make sure to drink plenty of water and avoid caffeine prior to your appointments.
Our patients often find chiropractic treatments to be effective for a number of issues, including neck pain, back pain, and headaches. In fact, chiropractic care helps many of our patients experience relief without the need for prescription medication or surgical procedures.
We treat patients who do not have referrals from their primary care physicians or other medical providers. In fact, some patients visit us before they see another doctor. However, some insurance providers still require prior authorisation for patients. Check with your insurance company before you schedule an appointment at ReFigure Chiropractic Health Centre. We're happy to verify benefits for you if you need help understanding what your plan covers.
