New Patients – What to Expect

We have been taking care of new patients for over 25 years. Over that time, we have had the privilege of listening to peoples’ stories, their lives and goals to restore their health. From children to the elderly, everyone has a unique story and different priorities in life. What makes us unique,is that we can provide the best of both chiropractic and osteopathy together to help you achieve your health goals.

Whether you are looking simply for pain relief from neck or back pain, headaches, sciatica or nerve pain, or want to make change to your flexibility, or improve your health and well-being, we will work with your goals.

If it is something that chiropractic or osteopathy may be able to help with, we design a treatment plan that’s unique to you, your condition and goals. We don’t do any fancy schemes, memberships or upfront payment plans. Simply pay as you go, with Hicaps available.

Our results speak for themselves. We are confident that with our clinical experience, we know if chiropractic may help with your condition or not, and so we have no issue with referring you for other modalities or to another health professional if required.

The majority of patients that attend our clinic typically present with conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches or migraine. Other conditions include jaw pain, elbow/knee pain, and numbness in the arm and/or leg. Having run a sports chiropractic and multidisciplinary clinic in Sydney for 17 years before moving to the Gold Coast, there are numerous other conditions that we have attended to, which are too long to list. If you are unsure if your problem is best suited to be managed by our team or not, please don’t hesitate to contact the clinic and we will organise for a practitioner to speak with you over the phone, regarding any concerns you may have prior to making an appointment.
