FAQs

At Brisbane Chiropractic & Physiotherapy, we provide Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, Osteopathy and Remedial Massage Therapy under one roof.

Our practitioners work independently while collaborating closely when appropriate, allowing you to receive the most suitable care for your condition. In some cases, a combination of treatments provides the best outcome.

That’s completely normal.

If you’re unsure whether Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, Osteopathy or Remedial Massage is the best fit, simply book with the practitioner you feel most comfortable seeing or contact our reception team. If another practitioner is better suited to your condition, we’ll happily recommend them.

Our priority is matching you with the right treatment, not a particular profession.

Many of our patients aren’t in significant pain. They come to maintain healthy movement, improve flexibility and joint function, support an active lifestyle, and address small issues before they become larger ones. Others visit us for help with injuries, pain or rehabilitation.

Our practitioners commonly help people with:

  • Back and neck pain
  • Headaches
  • Sports and gym-related injuries
  • Shoulder, hip and knee problems
  • Muscle and joint stiffness
  • Arthritis and age-related mobility concerns
  • Sciatica and nerve-related symptoms
  • Tendon and muscle injuries
  • Pregnancy-related musculoskeletal discomfort
  • Rehabilitation following injury or surgery

Every patient receives an individual assessment, and treatment recommendations are tailored to your goals—whether that’s getting out of pain, recovering from an injury, or simply moving and functioning at your best.

Your practitioner will discuss your symptoms, medical history and goals before performing a thorough assessment.

If treatment is appropriate on the day, this will usually begin during your first appointment. Depending on your condition and the profession you are seeing, treatment may include hands-on therapy, joint mobilisation or manipulation, soft tissue techniques, exercise prescription, rehabilitation advice, dry needling (where appropriate), or massage therapy.

You’ll also receive advice on managing your condition between visits.

Most treatments are gentle and well tolerated.

Some techniques may cause brief discomfort, particularly when treating a painful or stiff area, but your practitioner will always explain what they’re doing and tailor treatment to your comfort level and preferences.

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer.

Some people improve after only a few visits, while others require a longer course of treatment, particularly after long-standing problems.

After your assessment, your practitioner will explain their findings, expected recovery time and recommended treatment plan.

Our practitioners are primary contact health professionals, meaning you can book directly without a referral.

If your GP, specialist or another health professional refers you, we’re also happy to work closely with them throughout your care.

Yes.

We accept all major private health funds through HICAPS, allowing you to claim your eligible rebate on the spot.

If you have a valid GP Chronic Disease Management (Care Plan) referral, Medicare rebates are available for Chiropractic, Physiotherapy and Osteopathy services. Patients pay the full consultation fee on the day, and Medicare will rebate $63.40 directly back into your nominated bank account after the claim is processed.

We also accept Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) patients and WorkCover claims where approved. If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible or what paperwork is required, our reception team will be happy to help.

Yes.

Many patients benefit from combining different services. For example, someone recovering from a sports injury may see a Physiotherapist for rehabilitation, a Chiropractor or Osteopath for joint mobility, and a Remedial Massage Therapist for muscle tension.

When appropriate, our practitioners communicate with one another to ensure your care is coordinated.

Appointment lengths vary depending on the practitioner and the type of consultation.

Returning chiropractic appointments are often around 5-10 minutes, while physiotherapy, osteopathy and remedial massage appointments are generally longer to allow for rehabilitation, exercise therapy or soft tissue treatment.

Yes.

Our practitioners regularly care for both children and pregnant women.

Treatment is always tailored to the individual. For children, gentle techniques are used that are appropriate for their age, size and needs. During pregnancy, treatment is modified as pregnancy progresses to ensure it is safe and comfortable for both mum and baby.

Whether your child has a sports injury, growing pains, postural concerns, or you’d simply like them checked, we’re happy to assess them and discuss whether treatment is appropriate. Likewise, if you’re pregnant or planning to become pregnant and have questions about treatment, we’re happy to discuss your individual circumstances.
