It is not uncommon to hear a slight noise from the shifting of gas and fluids in the joint which is a perfectly normal occurrence, but we appreciate that some practice members would prefer different styles of adjusting. Make sure you speak to your chiropractor about any concerns you may have, as we have many techniques available.

Great! Most people experience more energy, less discomfort, more flexibility, and an overall feeling of enhanced well-being. Occasionally, you may be slightly sore or tired as your body adapts to the changes occurring. The Doctors will monitor your progress very closely to ensure maximal comfort during this time of change. In some patients with long-term chronic conditions, realigning the spine may also cause the muscles around the spine to be sore afterwards. This is only temporary, until the weakened muscles are strengthened. This is comparable to the discomfort felt after a good work out at the gym.

Chiropractors complete a 5 year university double degree. After this, Chiropractors must undertake further professional development to continue expanding their knowledge and skills annually. Dr Kate Adler, has completed a B. Ap. Sci. (Comp. Medicine) / M. Clinical Chiropractic (RMIT) and Dr Vanesa Brkic has a B. Health. Sci. / B. App. Sc. (Chiro). Both Chiropractors also have additional training in Kinesiology.

Chiropractic is considered a primary health care service for low back and spinal related issues. All clients of The Chiro Tree undergo a thorough health history, Chiropractic, postural, orthopaedic and neurological examination/assessment. From here, recommended individual care options are always discussed before care commences.

Chiropractic is a natural form of health care that focuses on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system and how that relationship affects our health. Using spinal adjustments and other manual and soft tissue techniques, chiropractic corrects misalignments of the joints, improves muscle tone and stimulates nerve activity.

Chiropractic adjustments involve the application of a precise yet gentle force to a section of the spine that needs correction. This has been shown to reduce pain and improve spinal function.

Many people get adjusted when they are sick. We always recommend to call the clinic so we can find out more about the nature of your illness so we can advise you further.

Adjustments can be done various ways, such as high force manually or gently through the use of low force tools, to suit individual needs and preferences. People of all ages, from birth to 90+, get adjusted. Anyone experiencing mild discomfort can use heat to support any inflammation sitting in the area.

We look after babies, infants and children of all ages at our clinic using a very gentle approach. We mainly use cranial sacral and light pressure adjustments to help comfortably and gently look after your child's health.
