What's the difference between chiropractic, remedial massage, and myotherapy?

How do I choose the right practitioner for chronic back pain?

Start with a chiropractic assessment to identify the underlying cause, then add remedial massage or myotherapy for longer-lasting relief. Book an initial consultation and we'll build a tailored plan.

Is chiropractic care safe for children and during pregnancy?

Yes. Our chiropractors use gentle, age-appropriate techniques for infants and children, and pregnancy-safe methods for expecting mothers.

What should I expect at my first appointment?

A full health history discussion, physical assessment, and clear explanation of findings before treatment starts. Initial consults run 30-45 minutes.

Does private health insurance cover these services?

Most extras cover includes chiropractic, remedial massage, and myotherapy. We offer on-the-spot HICAPS claiming — pay only the gap.
