  • Is chiropractic safe?

    Yes, chiropractic is considered very safe when performed by a qualified and experienced chiropractor. Chiropractors undergo extensive training with a minimum of 5 years of university training to ensure the safety and effectiveness of their techniques and assessment in diagnosis. According to the Chiropractic Association Victoria (CAA), “There has been few if any serious adverse events reported in medical literature in the past twenty years”. Our chiropractors adapt care plans to each persons individual needs, considering factors such as age, health condition, and medical history.

  • How many sessions will I need?

    The number of chiropractic visits varies depending on the individual’s specific needs, objective test results and health goals. During your Report of Findings consult your chiropractor will explain the results from the examination protocol conducted and if x-rays were clinically indicated they will explain your x-rays in great detail. From this they will lay out a clear and precise care plan and present all your options to you. Regular progress exams will be undertaken at certain points of your care plan so we can continue to evaluate your progress and be clear about each stage of your care plan.

  • Will chiropractic care be covered by my insurance?

    Many health insurance plans provide coverage for chiropractic care, but the extent of coverage varies depending on the insurance provider and plan. It’s important to check with your insurance company to understand your specific coverage details. Our centre will be able to claim onsite with our health fund terminal or print/email a receipt for you to claim online.

  • What can I expect during a typical chiropractic visit?

    Firstly you will be taken through our Initial Consultation process, your First Adjustment and Report of Findings consult. Once this process has been undertaken a typical chiropractic visit here at Kinfolk Chiropractic Centre will be as follows: (Please note that this is subject to individual needs and what the chiropractor prescribes you at certain points during your stages of care with us.)

    1. You will initially begin in our HyperVibe Spinal Rehabilitation room where you will use our HyperVibes for 3-5 minutes. Please arrive 5 minutes early to utilise the pre adjustment benefits of these machines. Your chiropractor will let you know what is suitable for you to undertake when using these machines.  

    2. You will then have your scheduled chiropractic adjustment with one of our chiropractors where they will use a wide range of appropriate techniques and will always endeavour for you to feel as comfortable as possible. 

    3. After you have your adjustment you are invited to use our Breath and Yoga Studio where you can lie on one of our yoga mats for self guided meditation, breath work or gentle stretching. There will also be orthopaedic postural devices for you to use but only if your chiropractor has prescribed these for you.

    This is a typical adjustment experience here at Kinfolk Chiropractic Centre and our pre and post adjustment facilities are always voluntarily your choice.

  • Do chiropractic adjustments hurt?

    Chiropractic adjustments are generally painless and often provide immediate relief to people experiencing discomfort. It is common for some individuals to experience mild soreness or discomfort following their first adjustment, similar to the sensation felt after engaging in physical activity. This can be dependant on your individual circumstances and other factors which your chiropractor will go through with you. If you are ever concerned about the level of soreness you are feeling you can always call our centre to speak with one of our chiropractors for guidance or reassurance. Our chiropractors prioritise your comfort and will adjust their techniques to accommodate individual preferences.
