Is Chiropractic Care covered by Veterans Affairs? Veterans wishing to see a Chiropractor need a referral from their GP. This referral is valid for 12 months, after which time a new one is required. At the first appointment we also need to take details from your Vet Card. After each visit you are required to sign the treatment form and the account is sent directly to Veterans Affairs for payment.

How soon can I book an appointment?
We aim to offer same-day appointments if they are available. All appointments are 'by appointment only'. We encourage pre-booking so that you receive the desirable day/time that suits you best.
How long will my appointments last?
We ask that you set aside approximately 45 minutes for your Initial Consulation. Your follow up visit, where you will receive your Report of Findings (the x-ray review), normally takes 30 minutes. Subsequent visits for an adjustment will take around 10 minutes.
Can you receive a Chiropractic adjustment without the "crack"?
Yes. Our Chiropractors use various techniques such as, Gonstead, Manual Diversified, Torque Release Technique, Activator, Toggle, Thompson, and Drop Piece. Some of these techniques are gentle and correct subluxations without the "cracking" noise. (Also known as a 'cavitation'). We will tailor your adjustment specifically for your needs for best results, as well as ensuring you are completely comfortable with your adjustment.
Is Chiropractic only for people in pain?
Not at all. We believe Vitalistic Chiropractic allows individuals and families to be happy, healthy and express their highest quality of life! Chiropractors can adjust anyone, including newborns, children, the elderly, athletes and anyone in between. Regular family chiropractic check-ups help create healthy cells and allow a greater expression of human potential.
Can I bring my children along to my appointments?
Yes! We are a family office with a designated children's area where they can entertain themselves with toys and books. You will find that we have whole families that come in for their Chiropractic care!
Is it safe to receive Chiropractic care when Pregnant?
Absolutely! It is perfectly safe to visit a chiropractor during your pregnancy, plus it is also highly beneficial. Our chiropractors are specially trained to treat patients during pregnancy. Chiropractic care is a safe, effective practice during pregnancy. Not only can routine chiropractic care help manage pain in your back, hips, and joints, it can also establish pelvic balance. This can provide your baby with as much space as possible over the course of your pregnancy.
Is Chiropractic care beneficial to infants?
Chiropractic care in babies is super beneficial! It keeps babies healthier because their nervous system and immune system are supported. Since significant spinal trauma can occur at birth, many parents have their newborns checked for vertebral subluxations.
No. Chiropractors are primary health care practitioners. You can contact us directly for an appointment. You are eligible for up to 5 rebated visits per calendar year from a Chiropractor under Medicare; however, this requires a referral from your GP. Ask your doctor about EPCs or CDMs for this particular rebate.
I am not in any pain, should I still get my spine checked?
Yes. Often problems can go undetected until lots of damage has occurred, so by the time you feel the pain, the problem can be serious and take longer to be helped. Chiropractic care is ideal for everyone for overall health - it is always better to be 100% sure of what is going on.
Yes. We do x-rays on site and can bulk bill through Medicare.
