FIND RELIEF WITH OUR SYDNEY CHIROPRACTORS
At Infinite Health, we take a holistic approach to chiropractic care. Our Chiropractors treat the underlying issues that lead to symptoms such as neck and back discomfort. These symptoms are often caused by pinched or inflamed nerves, which can lead to spinal stiffness and muscle tension. When this occurs in the neck, the resulting discomfort and stress can trigger headaches. The same applies to other areas of the spine, where inflammation can lead to pain, stiffness and reduced mobility.
All of these issues are managed by our experienced Chiropractors at Infinite Health. Registered with the Chiropractic Board of Australia, our university education and years of clinical experience have refined our skills in specific manual techniques (chiropractic adjustments). These are used to treat neck and back pain by targeting the source of the inflammation.
Our Sydney chiropractors are registered with the Chiropractic Board of Australia and work within a multidisciplinary team to deliver treatment across a range of spinal, musculoskeletal, and sports-related injuries. Whether you’re dealing with postural issues, persistent back pain, stiffness in the neck and shoulders, or migraine headaches, we can put you on the quickest path to recovery. There’s a reason we have amassed more than 1,800 5 star reviews across our Sydney Google Business profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a chiropractor do?
Chiropractors are allied healthcare professionals who treat issues pertaining to the Musculoskeletal and Nervous systems. They aim to reduce pain, improve joint range of motion and function, and restore normal joint position and posture through the use of chiropractic adjustments, mobilisations, soft tissue therapies, and rehabilitation exercises.
What can a chiropractor treat?
Chiropractors are well equipped with clinician knowledge and techniques to treat a range of musculoskeletal conditions. This range of conditions includes, but is not limited to, back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, disc irritation, sports injuries, postural imbalances, osteoarthritis, muscle strains & tightness, and more.
Can a chiropractor fix my posture?
Chiropractors are well-versed at assessing and treating postural imbalances, as well as dysfunctions and injuries that can occur as a result and long term postural issues.
A chiropractor can help improve your posture with spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and tailored stretches and exercises to help improve mobility and stability of the spine and surrounding joints.
While we want to ensure you get back feeling great, we understand that the best results come down to a long-term plan that treats the root cause of bad posture.
What are the benefits of chiropractic care?
Chiropractic can offer a range of benefits, including but not limited to pain relief, improved joint mobility, enhanced kinematic function, prevention of injuries, postural management, stress reduction, muscle strengthening and more.
What is an adjustment & does it hurt?
A chiropractic adjustment is a high velocity, low amplitude mobilisation technique aimed to restore normal range of motion to a restricted joint. Although brief discomfort may occur after an adjustment, pain is rare; in fact most people find having an adjustment relieving and relaxing!
With some adjustments you may sometimes hear or feel a ‘pop’ or ‘crack’ sound. This is simply the result in a change in pressure in the joint and is a harmless noise.
What can I expect in my first session?
We have different treatment options to suit every body.
For those who enjoy longer hands-on treatment or suffer from more complex conditions, you can expect a personalised consultation consisting of a detailed history taking and tailored physical exam to accurately diagnose you condition, followed by treatment consisting of chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, dry needling (if required) and specific exercises to relieve pain and improve function.
We also offer shorter initial consultations to cater to those with less complicated conditions, those with busier schedules or those requiring maintenance work only.
Will I be adjusted on my first visit?
Depending on the condition that you present with, and in the absence of any contraindication you may have, you will be adjusted on your first visit.
Do I need a referral to see a chiro?
No - you can book directly with our chiropractors without a referral. If you have a relevant diagnosis or additional information about your injury, such as X-rays, we encourage you to bring it along to your appointment so that our team can take it into consideration when making an assessment. Chiropractors are a great first point of contact for many conditions, and also have the capabilities to refer outwards where appropriate.
Do I need x-rays before coming to my first consultation?
No - you do not need to get any imaging before your first visit. If imaging is required, chiropractors can refer for bulk billed x-rays, as well as refer for other imaging modalities or tests where appropriate.
If you have any existing images and/or reports, please bring them to your first appointment so your clinician can take them into consideration during the consultation.
What should I wear to my appointment?
We recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your chiropractic appointment so we can properly visualise and assess your injury and the problem areas. If you’re a runner, walker, or sportsperson, it is a good idea to wear the footwear that you typically wear when exercising.
Will I need to do anything after my appointment?
Our Chiropractors may suggest some exercises to relieve the pain and provide recommendations on things that you should avoid (slouching, improper posture etc.).
Just like anything, you get out exactly what you put in. Our patients that attend regular appointments and complete the recommended exercises see better, longer-lasting results than those that visit us for a once-off appointment.
Will I have to keep coming back again and again?
The short answer is no. While many conditions respond positively to a maintenance style of care, it is not always the most effective way to manage an injury. Your chiropractor will work with you to develop the most appropriate care plan for your injury or condition, and discuss the best options for you as an individual to help get you back to optimal health.
How long are Chiropractic appointments?
We offer the following appointments to suit your condition and budget:
-
Short (25 minutes) – Suitable for simpler conditions or for the more budget-conscious patient.
-
Standard (40 minutes) – Suitable for most conditions.
-
Long (55 minutes) – Suitable for multiple injuries or chronic and severe pain.
-
Adjustment only (15-20 minutes) – Adjustments only. Ideal for ongoing management of stable conditions.
Will my private health insurance cover chiropractic treatment?
Chiro is one of the most popular services used by members of private health insurance. At Infinite Health, all chiropractic claims are processed through HICAPS which works with 100% of Australian private health funds. You will only have to pay the gap between how much your health plan provides for each visit.
Is it safe to see a chiropractor when pregnant?
Yes, our Sydney chiropractors are qualified to provide chiropractic care for pregnant women. Chiropractic treatments are beneficial for addressing common pregnancy-related back issues such as chronic pain and aches, poor posture, and conditions like lumbar spine hyperlordosis (curving of the lower back). You should seek advice from your doctor before receiving chiropractic care to check for any potential risks.
