Chiropractor, New Farm

Chiropractors stimulate the receptors in your joints, muscles, and tendons via manual techniques that stimulate and support brain and nervous system function. When these receptors aren’t firing properly due to injury, stress, or poor movement patterns, it can disrupt how your brain perceives and controls your body, affecting pain, balance, and coordination.

Medicare covers most of the cost for up to five sessions if your GP places you on an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan. This referral allows eligible patients to access allied health services, including chiropractic, with a Medicare rebate.

Most people report the experience of relief, release, and a sense of rejuvenation both during and after a chiropractic adjustment. The physical process usually involves gentle, precise pressure applied to a joint that sometimes produces a pop sound (thanks to gas being released from the joint fluid) but this is not necessary for effective treatment as there are many techniques involved.
