Does private insurance cover chiropractic?

Yes. Chiropractic care may be covered by private health insurance if you have the appropriate extras and level of cover.

Should I go straight to a chiropractor instead of seeing a GP first?

It depends on your situation and preferences. Chiropractors take a holistic approach and focus on improving spinal function through adjustments, while GPs may prioritise symptom management (such as medication, injections, or surgery).

What is the difference between a physiotherapist and a chiropractor?

Chiropractors use spinal adjustments to restore joint mobility and reduce discomfort. Physiotherapists commonly use exercise-based rehab, soft-tissue work, and joint techniques to improve strength and range of motion.

What is the difference between an osteopath and a chiropractor?

Chiropractors focus primarily on the spine and its relationship to the nervous system and overall function. Osteopaths often take a broader musculoskeletal approach and may also integrate other areas of care depending on their training and scope of practice.

What is chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a form of alternative healthcare that focuses on mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system - especially the spine - and how structure (spine) relates to function (nervous system coordination).

What conditions can chiropractors help with?

Chiropractic care may support a wide range of concerns, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, arthritis, whiplash, sprains/strains, overuse injuries, low energy, and poor sleep, depending on individual circumstances.

Can I bring my child to the chiropractor?

Yes. We offer gentle paediatric chiropractic care to support children's nervous system function. Many mums-to-be also choose natural care to help with common pregnancy-related aches and discomforts.

Does chiropractic cure everything?

No, chiropractic doesn't "cure" anything. We aim to reduce interference in the nervous system so the body can function at its best, which may help you feel better over time.

Dad playing with child We provide natural, gentle chiropractic care to address a variety of conditions!

At The Joint Chiropractically, we see patients of all ages who are seeking natural health solutions to their various conditions. In practice for more than three decades, Dr Jeff Yadlosky (Chiropractor) has successfully cared for thousands of individuals with diverse needs.

Here are some of the common conditions we’ve seen:

Back Pain

According to a study published in the June 1990 edition of the esteemed British Medical Journal, the following conclusion was reached: In people with low back pain, manipulation (chiropractic adjustments) was appropriate for achieved worthwhile, long-term benefit when compared to those who had hospital outpatient management for their condition.

Neck Pain

A common condition, facet joint problems represent an example of mechanical neck pain. Found in the back of the neck, facets can be injured or strained, causing localised and radiating pain. The pain may refer into the shoulder, arms or upper back, depending on your particular neck issue. Chiropractic may be an effective way to provide relief from neck pain.

Pregnancy

Though an exciting time of life, pregnancy can take a toll on a mum’s spine. The expanding abdomen can result in stress to the back in the form of an increased back curve, pelvic space remodelling and other postural changes. Backaches and pelvic pain are common. The good news is that chiropractic may help alleviate pregnancy-related aches and pains.

Paediatrics

As babies have soft spines and nervous systems, the birthing process can be highly traumatic as it places enormous stress on the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. We look forward to optimising your child’s health with chiropractic.

Pinched Nerves

Containing 24 movable segments called vertebrae, your spinal column protects and houses your spinal cord. Delicate nerve roots come out from each adjoining part of the bones, carrying nerve energy to each section of your body. At the same time, the body is dispatching messages back to the spinal cord and brain. As the integrity of the spinal structure is vital to enjoying normal function, chiropractic care may help keep your spine strong and healthy.

Slipped Disc

If you have experienced sudden, severe back pain, you may have what is called a slipped disc. It is not possible, however, for a disc to slip. Instead, it may bulge or herniate, causing sciatic, back or leg pain. Because the disc may compress the nerve root, debilitating pain may ensue. Slipped disc can be diagnosed and treated with chiropractic although surgical intervention may sometimes be necessary.

Scoliosis

Often defined as a curvature of the spine, scoliosis may be improved by mobilising your spinal segments, doing spinal exercises and rehabilitating the supportive soft tissues. With these actions, you may perform better with less pain and greater function. The Cobb Angle, the worldwide gold standard for quantifying spinal deformities, is used to assess progress.

Sciatica

This type of pain, which can be acute or chronic, originates in the low back and then radiates downwards, following the sciatic nerve through the buttock and lower leg. A herniated or slipped disc is the most common cause and can be detected by an MRI or CT. We use exceptionally gentle spinal mobilisations to help restore spinal function and movement.

Sports Injury

Whether you work out at the gym on occasion or engage in high-level sports, injuries can result. Those who participate in such sports may see results from a chiropractor who can treat, rehabilitate and prevent injury. Jeff, who has expertise in analysing and correcting musculoskeletal conditions, has had numerous athletes under his care.

Headaches

Headaches are a common condition that can affect overall quality of life with pain, mental fog, as well as physical symptoms. Chiropractic care is an option that addresses underlying issues that cause many types of headaches including tension, cervicogenic, and migraines.
