Chiropractic care is a natural, drug-free approach to health that focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions, especially those involving the spine. At Align & Restore, Strathmore, we use spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and corrective techniques to restore alignment, reduce pain, and improve overall function.

Yes, when performed by licensed, experienced practitioners, chiropractic care is considered safe. In our Strathmore clinic, we do a full assessment before beginning treatment to ensure we use techniques suited to your body, medical history, and comfort. For specific concerns like pregnancy, children, or chronic conditions, we customise our approach.

Most patients feel little to no pain during adjustments. Some mild pressure or soreness may occur afterward, especially on early visits, but this usually dissipates quickly. If anything feels uncomfortable, let us know, we’ll adjust the technique (e.g. use Activator or gentler methods) to suit you.

The frequency depends on your condition, goals, and how your body responds. Early treatment may require more frequent visits, then sessions taper off as improvement stabilises. We aim for long term results, not just short term relief where an issue may resurge again later. At Align & Restore Strathmore, we’ll provide a personalised care plan with clear guidance over time.

Adjustments target misalignments (often called “subluxations”) in the spine. These can interfere with nerve communication and muscle function. By restoring proper alignment through safe techniques, we help your nervous system, reduce pain, and support your body’s ability to heal itself.

Absolutely. We use gentle, age-appropriate techniques for babies, children, adults, and seniors. For children, care may support posture, development, and mobility. For seniors, it can help with joint health, balance, and mobility.

Results vary; some people feel improvement after the first visit, while others need several sessions over weeks or months. Factors like how long the issues existed, overall health, and how faithfully you follow home exercises all influence the timeline.

Many health funds in Australia include chiropractic. Coverage depends on your plan and provider. We recommend checking with your insurer and we’ll help verify what your plan covers before starting treatment.

We also accept medicare treatment plans, which involve obtaining a referral from your GP.
