Chiropractic Care — West Ryde

Hands-on, drug-free treatment for pain, injury and musculoskeletal dysfunction. Available as a
standalone session or combined with acupuncture.

What Chiropractic Involves

Chiropractic is a form of primary healthcare focused on the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions — problems affecting your muscles, joints, nerves and spine.

Treatment is hands-on and drug-free, focused on finding and treating the cause of your problem rather than only managing the symptoms.

At TOP Chiropractic Acupuncture, treatment may include:

  • Spinal manipulation and adjustment
  • Joint mobilisation
  • Soft tissue therapy
  • Postural correction advice
  • Targeted rehabilitation exercises

All treatments are tailored to your condition and what is clinically appropriate.

When Combined With Acupuncture

For many patients, chiropractic addresses the structural component of a problem, while the nervous system or muscular layer may require additional support.

Combining chiropractic with acupuncture in the same session allows both areas to be considered as part of a complete treatment approach.

This can be particularly useful for chronic pain, nerve-related symptoms and conditions that have not fully improved with manual therapy alone.

Dr Don is dual-qualified in both disciplines, meaning your assessment and treatment plan is managed by one practitioner who understands the complete picture.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Us

    Chiropractic treatment – what is it?
    Chiropractic is the identification and diagnosis of mechanical disorders in the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. A misalignment or mechanical difficulty can present as various symptoms, depending on its location. After an interference in the nervous or musculoskeletal system has been identified, a Chiropractor makes an adjustment in order to correct it, which relieves various symptoms (like pain and illness) that are associated with that specific misalignment. Chiropractic treatment is effective in relieving patients of a number of health concerns, including physical pain, inflammation, emotional distress and illness.
    Yes! Our phase-based programs give you a structured and tailored approach to recovery after injury or surgery.

    If it’s your first consultation, we’ll begin by asking a series of questions to gain a full picture of your body, your medical history and the particular symptoms that have prompted you to visit our clinic. Once we have all the information we need, we’ll begin our consultation. We begin with a series of examinations of your spine and skeletal system, to establish exactly what Chiropractic treatment is necessary.

    Our clinicians will deliver a specific and targeted correction to the part of the body which, in their professional determination, needs it. Most patients say that the correction itself barely feels like anything, and there is much less of a ‘cracking’ sound that you may expect! Upon completion of your examination, our Chiropractors may give you exercises to complete at home in order to maintain optimum health.

    Top Chiropractor Acupuncture practitioners are highly trained with years of experience, so you can always be confident they only deliver necessary treatment, and always operate within your comfort zone. By the time you leave our clinic, you can expect to feel relaxed, limber and enjoy an overall feeling of contentment.

    Although this will depend on your health insurer, even the most basic extras cover package will likely cover Chiropractic work! Check with your health insurance provider to determine your Chiropractic care rebate.

    If you have a chronic condition or complex care needs, you may qualify to receive a Chiropractic Medicare rebate for up to 5 sessions per calendar year. To be eligible, your GP must place you on an EPC – an Enhanced Primary Care Plan. If you have been suffering, or will suffer, from a condition for longer than 6 months, or you have several health issues simultaneously, you are likely eligible to be placed on an ECP.
