Common Questions
"While other Professions are concerned with changing the environment to suit the weakened body ------ Chiropractic is concerned with strengthening the body to suit the environment"
Does getting adjusted hurt?
Whats the clicking or cracking sound?
Can you claim chiropractic care on my health fund?
No, getting adjusted should not hurt. More often than not you will actually feel an instant release of pressure. Any discomfort after an adjustment would be similar to what you might feel in your muscles after a workout at the gym.
The noise that you may hear when you get adjusted is a suction sound as nitrogen gas within the joint escapes. The adjustment does not aim to release the gas, it is merely a side effect of little to no clinical consequence. Some adjustments don’t make any noise at all. It is good to know that the click you may hear is not the bone itself.
Yes ,we provide Chiropractic that can be claimed on every health fund in Australia as long as you have extra’s cover.

However, there are always risks associated with any procedure. We minimise the risk through our thorough history, examination and testing as well as using specific gentle techniques. We will always discuss any risks with you before proceeding with care. No two cases are the same, therefore we taylor our approach to make sure we deliver to best Chiropractic care that is safe and effective.
