Most people don't arrive here after one bad day. They arrive after months, sometimes years of managing something that's slowly been affecting how they move, sleep, work and get through the day.
Back and neck pain has a way of becoming background noise. You adjust how you sit, avoid certain movements and get used to it being there. But getting used to it isn't the same as it being okay.
At The Local Chiro, we take the time to understand the full picture: not just what hurts, but how it started, what makes it worse and what may be contributing.
Back and neck pain often involves a combination of restricted joints, overworked muscles and movement habits that have developed to compensate. We look at how you're loading your body, where the restrictions are and what may be feeding the problem. We then talk through a plan that suits you.

Who we see
Back and neck pain doesn't belong to any one type of person. We see:
Training-related? See our sports injuries page. If your neck pain comes with headaches, read through our information about headaches.
What to expect when you come in
Your first appointment is thorough. We take a detailed history, assess your posture and movement and identify what may be contributing to your pain before we do anything else. We'll explain what we find clearly and talk through what care looks like before we proceed.
Treatment is hands-on and tailored to your body. Depending on what you need, it may include Chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue release, dry needling, active release technique or cupping. You can read about each on our 'Our Approach' page.
Common questions
Do I need a referral or a scan?
No referral is needed. If we think imaging or another opinion is appropriate, we'll tell you and refer you on.
How long is the first appointment?
Allow 45 minutes for your first visit. It includes a detailed history and examination before any treatment.
Do you offer private health rebates?
Yes, you can claim on your private health insurance.
