Chiropractic Services in Canberra

Chiropractic Care for Every Stage of Life

Most patients begin with general chiropractic care: a thorough history, a physical examination and a plan built around what the examination actually finds. From there, the practice branches into focused services shaped by decades of treating this community. Athletes and weekend runners see us for sports chiropractic with both Dr Teoh and Dr Porter, while curious first-timers often start by reading what happens during chiropractic adjustments before they ever lie on the table.

Eight doors, one standard of care. Whichever service you choose, the sequence never changes: examine first, explain in plain language, agree on a plan, and review it honestly at a named date.

Every service on this page also includes the same practical inclusions. Your first visit runs about forty-five minutes and covers a full history and physical examination. Costs are quoted before treatment, HICAPS claims your health fund rebate on the spot, and DVA patients are welcome with a valid referral. Notes are shared across the whole practice, so if your plan later adds massage or a different technique, the next practitioner already knows your story. And if the examination points to a problem outside chiropractic scope, you hear that at the first visit along with a referral to someone better placed.

What to bring, whichever service you choose

The checklist is identical across all eight services: your private health fund card, any referral letters, recent imaging reports if you hold them, a list of current medications and clothing you can move in comfortably. Sporting patients should mention their training week and any events on the calendar; expecting mums, how far along they are when booking so the right room is set up. Bringing a support person is always fine, and for children a parent stays in the room as standard.

When the diary runs

Appointments run across six days, with early starts and lunchtime slots on weekdays, evening finishes on Monday and Wednesday, and Saturday mornings for the people whose working week never cooperates. Saturday books out first, so plan a week or two ahead for weekend visits. Initial consultations are longer than follow-ups because the examination is done properly, and the online system shows live availability for both chiropractors across every service on this page.

Care by Life Stage: Pregnancy, Families and Seniors

Bodies ask different questions at different ages, and a practice that has served one community for more than fifty years learns to answer all of them. These three services exist because the standard approach needed rethinking for the people who walk through our door most.

What unites the three is restraint. Force is scaled down, appointment times are scaled up, and nothing happens on the table before it has been explained in words the patient, or the parent, is comfortable with. Gentle options like the Activator instrument carry most of the adjusting load across all three services, and screening comes first wherever age or pregnancy calls for extra care.
