Family-Focused Helensvale Chiropractor Serving the Gold Coast

Chiropractors can provide effective care for sciatica by addressing the root causes, such as misalignments in the spine, muscle tension, or nerve compression. Through spinal adjustments, targeted therapies, and personalised exercise plans, chiropractic care can relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote natural healing. Many patients experience significant improvements in mobility and discomfort.

While chiropractors don't "fix" a bulging disc in the traditional sense, they can help manage symptoms and support the body's healing process. Gentle, non-invasive techniques like spinal adjustments, decompression therapy, and targeted exercises can alleviate pressure on the affected nerve, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility. Chiropractic care aims to provide long-term relief without the need for surgery or medication.

Yes, chiropractic care is covered by Medicare for eligible patients. However, Medicare typically covers only a limited number of visits and requires a referral from a GP with an EPC plan. To be eligible for an EPC plan, there needs to be a documented chronic condition that your GP manages. Give us a call if you'd like to know more or speak to your GP.

Chiropractors can help correct bad posture by identifying imbalances or misalignments in the spine and addressing contributing factors like muscle tightness or weakness. Through adjustments, posture-specific exercises, and ergonomic advice, chiropractic care can improve posture, reduce strain on the body, and prevent future issues related to poor alignment.

Chiropractors treat back pain by addressing its underlying causes, such as spinal misalignments, muscle tension, or joint dysfunction. Techniques like spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and customised rehabilitation exercises work to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support long-term spinal health. Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to managing back pain effectively.

The frequency of visits depends on your individual needs and goals. For acute issues, you may start with more frequent sessions (1-2 times a week), while maintenance care or preventative visits might be needed once a month or less. Your chiropractor will develop a personalised plan to ensure optimal results based on your condition, lifestyle, and progress.
