What can I expect at my first visit?

Your first appointment is about understanding you—your story, your concerns, and your health goals. We’ll begin with a detailed consultation, a thorough examination (including posture and movement assessments), and discuss your findings. If safe and appropriate, you may receive your first adjustment on the day. Everything is explained clearly, and your comfort is always our priority.

⸻

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?

No referral is needed. Chiropractors are primary healthcare practitioners, which means you can book directly with us at any time.

⸻

Is chiropractic care safe?

Chiropractic care in Australia is regulated by AHPRA, and chiropractors are university-trained professionals. At Aspire Family Chiropractic, care is always delivered with your safety, comfort, and informed consent at the forefront. We tailor our approach based on your age, health history, and preferences.

⸻

How many visits will I need?

Every person is different. Your care plan will depend on your individual goals, how long you’ve had the issue, your lifestyle, and how your body responds to care. We’ll always explain our recommendations clearly, so you feel informed and empowered to make the best decision for you.

⸻

Do you see children and babies?

Yes. We provide gentle, age-appropriate care for babies, children, and teens. We take time to make each visit calm, comfortable, and child-friendly—always adapting our techniques for little bodies.

⸻

Do you offer care during pregnancy or after birth?

Yes, absolutely. Chiropractic care during pregnancy is tailored to support spinal and pelvic alignment, comfort, and overall wellbeing. Postnatal care can assist with physical recovery, especially with feeding posture, carrying, and new movement patterns.

⸻

What techniques do you use?

We use a range of gentle and effective techniques, including manual adjustments, Sacro Occipital Technique®, Activator, pelvic blocking, drop-piece techniques, and soft tissue therapy. Every adjustment is based on thorough assessment and delivered with care and intention.

⸻

What should I wear to my appointment?

Comfortable clothing is ideal—something you can move freely in. You’ll remain fully clothed during your appointment, and we’ll guide you step by step through everything.

⸻

Do you accept private health insurance?

Yes, we offer on-the-spot claiming for most private health funds with chiropractic extras. Please check with your insurer for your specific rebate amount.
