We are limiting appointments to patients who are in pain, or require appointments to prevent their condition from significantly deteriorating
Chiropractors can only consult where the patient’s care is non-routine care.
Our chiropractors will be personally calling all scheduled patients for the next 6 weeks to determine whether your appointment is necessary.
An updated statement from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) states that all public and private health services are permitted:
“All AHPRA registered health workers – and any other health worker required to fulfil a care plan endorsed by NDIS, TAC, Workcover or DVA – to provide services that prevent a significant change/deterioration in functional independence…”
In short, this means that if your chiropractic care is necessary for you, you may continue to attend your appointments through Stage 4 restrictions.

WHAT IS A CHIROPRACTOR?
In Australia, Chiropractors are primary healthcare practitioners, meaning you do not need a referral or to see your GP before visiting one. Chiropractors are most renowned for their work on the spinal column/vertebrae but also are trained and experienced with optimal function of the body. Most Chiropractors will have have new patient consultation including history of presenting issue, physical assessment, neurological, orthopedic and muscular testing, postural assessment and treatment. Depending on the presenting issue a Chiropractor may refer or do their own imaging to diagnose the source of the issue.
Chiropractic treatment will most likely involve Chiropractic adjustments/manipulations, soft tissue therapy, activator, arthrostim, advice of home exercises and stretches. Some chiropractors may use modalities such as therapeutic ultrasound, heat/cold therapy, topical agents taping and more.
Most people know Chiropractors often see patients with back or neck pain, but what most people don’t know is chiropractors are also trained in dietary or supplementation advice however do not prescribe drugs or perform surgery.
Educational requirements for Chiropractors in Australia are currently University trained with a strong emphasis of evidence based practice. Chiropractors are trained alongside Osteopaths and Chinese Medicine students at RMIT and this is currently a 5-year double degree course.
WHAT MAY CHIROPRACTIC HELP WITH?
Low back pain
Typically Chiropractors bread and butter; lower back pain is what Chiropractors are most well known for. Whether it be a dull low back pain ache or an acute sacroiliac joint pain, this is what Chiropractors are known for. Depending on the exact cause a Chiropractor may do manipulation, soft tissue therapy, offer a stabilisation belt, recommend icing, use a flexion distraction table, or biomechanical blocking.
Neck pain
Cervical neck adjustments may be useful in reducing neck pain, in conjunction with, or without, pain medication. Assessment of the neck is key in the applying the correct treatment as necks are often very sensitive. Our Melton Chiropractors used a 8 point neck assessment when determining range of motion, orthopaedic and muscles testing to assess your neck. Dependant on the age of the patient, the chiropractor select the appropriate treatment approach with the aim to reduce pain and/or increase range of motion.
