Spinal assessment and adjustment
Segment-by-segment examination of the spine and pelvis, followed by manual adjustment and mobilisation of the joints that are not moving as they should.
Chiropractic care · Victoria
Hands-on chiropractic care for backs, necks and joints that have stopped cooperating.
We examine how your spine and joints actually move, explain what we find in plain language, and treat what the examination shows.

How this practice works
Three commitments that shape every appointment
i.
Examination before adjustment
Care opens with a history, a standing postural screen and an active movement examination. Nothing is adjusted before it has been examined.
ii.
Findings in plain language
You are told which joints and soft tissues are involved, what the likely drivers are, and what the plan is — before any hands go on.
iii.
Care with a review point
A defined block of appointments with a review built in, so it is clear whether care is working and when it should stop or change.
What we treat
Complaints we see most often
Musculoskeletal complaints of the spine, pelvis and peripheral joints — assessed, explained and treated by hand.
Neck pain, jaw tension and headaches
Cervical spine and upper-rib assessment for stiff, aching necks and the headaches that track from the base of the skull.
Desk posture and workplace strain
For the mid-back and shoulder complaints that build over a working week — assessment, treatment and a workstation and movement plan you can actually keep.
A course of care
What happens, and in what order
Four stages, run in sequence. You are told at each one what was found and what comes next.
01
Examination
History, postural screen, and an active and passive movement examination of the spine, pelvis and any joint you name.
02
Findings
What was found, what it means, what chiropractic care can and cannot help with, and a referral onward where that is the right answer.
03
Treatment
Manual adjustment, mobilisation and soft-tissue work, matched to the findings and revised as you respond between appointments.
04
Review
A scheduled re-examination against the original findings, with the loading and movement work that holds the result in place.
Your first appointment
Come in with the questions you have been carrying
Most people arrive having already tried rest, a heat pack and a stretch found on their phone. The first appointment exists to work out why the complaint has not settled: what aggravates it, what relieves it, which joints and tissues are involved, and whether it is a problem that belongs with a chiropractor at all.
Wear clothing you can move in. Bring any imaging, referral letters or specialist reports you already have — they save time and change what we look for.
