“You’re in safe hands”

Chiropractors in Australia are nationally registered and regulated healthcare professionals. Chiropractic is a modality of treatment concerned with the diagnosis, management and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system. This includes the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health.

To become a registered chiropractor in Australia you must have studied an accredited 5-year chiropractic program conducted at a University within Australia. Or have completed an accredited program overseas that satisfies the requirements set by the Australian Chiropractic Regulating authority.

Chiropractors are required to adhere to strict and extensive educational requirements and standards to become registered health professionals in Australia. A chiropractor’s education never ends. After entering practice, all CAA chiropractors must complete continuing professional development courses and seminars to upgrade and improve their skills and to stay current on the latest scientific research.

How can chiropractors help?

Chiropractic is a health care discipline based on the scientific premise that the body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism. These important functions are controlled by the brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves of the body.

The practise of Chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine and pelvis), and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.

Chiropractors use a combination of hands-on physical therapy (called adjusting) and exercises, to mobilise joints and improve your posture. This may help reduce pain, fatigue and injuries.

Recently, new techniques have been developed to restore the natural alignment of your spine, allowing years of poor posture and chronic problems to be treated.
