tailored care through
every stage of life.
WHO WE SERVE + WHY IT MATTERS
Perinatal and Paediatric Care
-
During pregnancy, a mother’s centre of gravity shifts and her posture compensates accordingly. The ligamentous laxity necessary for birthing creates instability in all of her joints, including her spine and pelvis. This makes her more prone to injury and can limit her baby's ability to get in the ideal position for a natural birth.
Birth trauma continues to be a severely under-treated problem. Excessive force or complications during delivery can create misalignments in the spinal column and compromise nervous system function.
If your little ones are involved in contact sports or spend a little too much time looking down at phone screens with poor posture, their bodies can struggle to keep up with the accumulated stress. By having regular spinal health checks they can maintain optimal nervous system function which contributes to optimising their development.
-
Chiropractic care can be effective for common problems pregnant women may experience including headaches, pelvic girdle pain and pain in the back and legs.
Additionally, chiropractic care supports postpartum recovery for both mum and baby, and can support healthy neuro-motor development for kids of all ages.
Family Care
-
Chiropractic helps with so much more than just neck and back pain. When the spine is aligned and free of nervous system interference, your whole body is better prepared to deal with the different types of stress we all encounter on a daily basis. Chiropractic is an essential part of restoring and optimising your body’s ability to function at its best.
-
With consistent care and following your chiropractor’s recommendations, our patients report less aches and pains, better posture, improved sleep, greater range of motion and an improved quality of life!
Concussion Testing and Rehabilitation
-
Concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury which can have long lasting detrimental effects on your brain and body. Symptoms following a concussion include headaches and migraines, neck pain, brain fog, nausea, light and sound sensitivity, anxiety and depression, mood swings, loss of balance and coordination, and many more. Furthermore, following a concussion you are significantly at greater risk for soft tissue injuries such as an ACL or UCL tear due to proprioceptive changes in your body.
As every concussion affects different parts of the brain, it is essential to be thoroughly tested if you suspect you have been concussed. This ensures rehab can be tailored to you to maximise your recovery.
-
Dr. Hayden (Chiro) has been trained in the diagnosis and management of concussion, using testing methods that go beyond what is required of the majority of professional sporting teams in Australia (SCAT6 and SCOAT6). This ensures rehabilitation is tailored individually, with the primary goal of each athlete returning to their daily activities, including a safe return to sport where possible.
Dr. Hayden (Chiro) also offers baseline testing, whereby athletes can be tested prior to their season commencing. This can then be used as a comparative tool to assist in the diagnosis of any potential concussion that season.
Senior Care
-
Chiropractic care can improve joint mobility and reduce pain levels from arthritic conditions of the spine. Furthermore, chiropractic care has been shown to improve sensorimotor function and multi sensory integration associated with falls risk in elderly populations.
-
Chiropractic care can increase spinal mobility, reduce spinal pain, and improve posture which ultimately means you can enjoy more of the things you love to do!
Your chiropractor will adapt their techniques to suit your ageing body and can offer gentle, low force and instrumental (activator) adjusting.
Animal Care
-
Your furry friends can’t tell us if or where they are sore, but they have spines too which means they can benefit from gentle chiropractic care! Dr. Bernie (Chiro) has been treating animals for over 20 years with lots of experience with all kinds of pets, small and large!
-
Your pet has a spine, just like you! Chiropractic care can increase your pet’s spinal mobility and decrease their spinal pain, particularly due to rough and tumble collisions from playing, and the ageing process.

What is low level laser therapy (LLLT)?
Our Erchonia GVL (green and violet) laser can help reduce pain and inflammation by using specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by tissue to stimulate and accelerate your body’s natural healing process. It can help manage chronic pain from arthritis, injuries to shoulders, knees & other extremity joints, back pain including disc bulges, plantar fasciitis, and much more.
