Common Questions

Still not sure? Call us on (03) 8686 5611 and we’ll talk it through.

Chiropractic care didn’t help my sciatica before.+

Our method is different. Many patients find relief here after other approaches haven’t worked.

Sciatica is only about the lower back.+

Structural patterns throughout the spine and posture can influence nerve pressure.

It’s just cracking. I need a more targeted solution.+

We assess and correct your whole-body structure, not just individual areas.

I just have to live with it now.+

Many patients experience change even if sciatic pain has been present for years.

Do I need a referral?+

No. Chiropractors are primary health care providers, so you can book directly.

Do I have to commit to long-term care?+

No. We start with your sciatica. If longer-term structural care could help, your chiropractor will explain it, and it’s your choice.

What happens at my first visit?+

We begin by understanding your symptoms and assessing your posture and structure to identify any deeper patterns that may contribute to nerve tension.
