No, you do not need a referral from a GP before visiting a chiropractor. You can contact us directly for an appointment.

Chiropractors are university trained professionals who have received a five year degree to care for their clients using extremely safe, gentle and scientific techniques. The New Zealand government’s Commission of Inquiry into Chiropractic concluded: “Spinal adjusting is a vital, very safe and clinically effective form of health care. Chiropractors have more thorough training in spinal mechanics and spinal care than any other health professional. Furthermore, chiropractic is scientifically based.”

Our chiropractors assess your condition and choose the most appropriate techniques just for you. Looking for best Chiropractor Karrinyup has to offer? Get in touch today. 

Chiropractic care is a natural, alternative treatment to aches and pains relating to joints and muscles, especially when it comes to managing chronic pain. If your pain is stopping you from living life, a chiropractor can help you adjust and regain balance, reducing pain and giving you more freedom. At Karrinyup Wellness Centre, we also believe in a holistic care approach to your wellbeing and see chiropractic care as a way to maintain healthy function, even if you don’t currently experience pain, in order to build a healthier foundation, and reduce any negative health impacts down the road.

A chiropractic adjustment is the skill of using a specific force in a precise direction, applied to a joint that is fixated, “locked up”, or not moving properly. This adds motion to the joint, helping the joints to gradually regain more normal motion and function. The purpose of this safe and natural procedure is to permit improved spinal function, improved nervous system function, and improved health.
There are many ways to adjust the spine. Usually the chiropractor’s hands or a specially designed instrument delivers a brief and highly-accurate thrust. Some adjusting methods are quick, whereas others require a slow, constant or indirect pressure.

After years of university training and clinical experience, each chiropractor becomes highly skilled in the delivery of a variety of adjusting approaches.

Our chiropractors recognise that every patient is uniquely different and your care should be too. Our chiropractors will evaluate each patient’s unique symptoms, their age and condition and develop an individual treatment approach accordingly.

To become a registered chiropractor in Australia you must have studied an accredited five-year chiropractic program conducted at a university within Australia, or have completed an accredited program overseas that satisfies the requirements set by the Australian Chiropractic Regulating authority.

A chiropractor’s education never ends. After graduating university, chiropractors must complete continuing professional development courses and seminars to upgrade and improve their skills and to stay current on the latest scientific research.

Private health insurance companies recognise the benefits of chiropractic and provide rebates to their members. At Karrinyup Wellness Centre we also provide HICAPS facilities. This means you can claim back onsite for immediate rebates. How much you can claim back each time you visit a chiropractor, and the maximum amount you can claim per year, will vary depending on the health cover you choose.
