Conditions We treat
At Spinal Works

Chiropractic care will generally address the bones and joints, but can be used to address all kinds of different musculoskeletal pain:

Back Pain
Back Pain

The leading cause of workplace disability in Australia, back pain is extremely prevalent and one of the main injuries we treat at Spinal Works. Chiropractic care can address pain, stiffness, and poor range-of-motion – three of the most common symptoms experienced with back pain. Back pain can be debilitating; but it can be successfully treated with the right expertise.

Neck & Shoulder Pain
Neck & Shoulder Pain

Most neck pain is born out of work, sports, or poor posture. As we spend more time looking at our computers and phones than ever before, neck pain is only becoming more common across different age groups. Spinal Works will find the main cause of your neck and shoulder pain, manually manipulate (massage) the area to relieve pain, and provide a treatment plan that corrects misalignments.

Headaches
Headaches

Tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches, stress headaches, migraines and TMJ – all of these conditions can be successfully managed with the right chiropractor. Chiropractic care for headaches will be tailored to your concerns, lifestyles, and, ultimately, what needs to be done to release the spinal stress and see you headache-free.

Hip Pain/Sciatica
Hip Pain/Sciatica

Hip pain is most commonly caused by sciatica, injury, and poor posture. We can address each of these concerns to restore motion, increase flexibility, and alleviate pain to the hip joint and surrounding area. With the right tools, acute, chronic, and severe sciatica can be successfully treated and managed – chiropractic care is best known for effectively relieving individuals of sciatica pain and symptoms. A chiro can realign the spine and joints to alleviate discomfort, reducing the pressure placed on the sciatic nerve.

Knee Pain
Knee Pain

Whether it be from a sustained injury or an ongoing condition, chiropractic care can do wonders for ongoing knee pain. Soft tissue manipulation can alleviate swelling and inflammation, while adjustments can address joint issues in the knee area. Spinal Works will conduct an initial assessment to understand the cause of the pain and provide a tailored treatment plan to restore mobility and reduce discomfort.

Disc bulge/herniation
Disc bulge/herniation

A bulging disc or herniated disc can be incredibly painful. A bulge occurs when the inner portions of the intervertebral disc begin to protrude from the outer wall – causing pain in the back, neck, and even lower legs. A herniated disc is different in that it’s when the nucleus breaks through the annulus – while a bulging disc remains intact. A herniated disc is more likely to cause pain, but both can be extremely uncomfortable. Both conditions are very treatable when working with the right chiropractor.

Paediatric Chiropractic
Paediatric Chiropractic

Spinal Works provide paediatric chiropractic care for children, toddlers, and infants. Paediatric chiropractic is both gentle and tailored to the needs of a child–seeing achiropractor can be beneficial for growth and development, poor posture, and following atraumatic birth experience.

We provide chiropractic care for new and expecting mothers in Townsville. As the woman’s body undergoes significant changes to the body to accommodate for the baby, it’s common to experience discomfort, pain, and postural issues. Chiropractic care will focus on maintaining the alignment and balance of the pelvis, spine, and lumbar area to alleviate this discomfort and pain, and allow for more comfort throughout the entire pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Book Online

Yes, chiropractic adjustments are safe and effective. Like with any medical procedure, there are risks involved, but chiropractic care has a low-risk profile. The pressure applied during an adjustment is both controlled to the area where you’re experiencing pain or tension - it can be slightly uncomfortable, but never outwardly painful or unsafe.

Number of appointments needed will vary for each person. Initially, you may need more adjustments, and over time, we'll move to less appointments as your spine improves. We do not require any upfront payment plans, and our primary goal is to alleviate your pain in the fewest visits possible.

Yes, we accept all forms of private health insurance coverage. We also accept referrals from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) and Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plans.

We charge $85 for an initial consultation where our chiropractors will perform a comprehensive physical assessment to determine the condition of your spine and musculoskeletal system. After this initial consultation, each subsequent appointment will cost $75 where treatment will be applied based on a tailored plan.

Chiropractic treatment is generally not covered by Medicare. However, if you have experienced a complex chronic spinal condition over a period of 6 months, you may be eligible for an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan under Medicare that will cover chiropractic treatment. You will need to obtain a referral from your GP or family doctor in order to apply for the Enhanced Primary Care Plan.
