Our Chiropractic Services
At Body in Balance Chiropractic, we understand that visiting a chiropractor for the first time could be a daunting experience. We want to ensure your comfort, and provide an overview of what to expect during your initial appointment:
Spinal Corrective Care
Our chiropractors use gentle and precise techniques (known as adjustments) to balance the spine and other areas of the body, enhance nerve system function, improve joint mobility, and enhance the body’s natural healing processes. This often helps reduce pain. During your care plan, your Chiropractor may help you understand your body and lifestyle, to help you help yourself. Exercise/s are often incorporated to help you get well faster.
Wellness and Maintenance Care
Once you reach the desired level of improvement through your Chiropractic care, you have the choice to continue your care beyond your initial goals, maintain your improvements, and prevent future deterioration. Our patients who continue this type of care are usually very pro-active in their wellbeing and learn how to progress on their health journey.

Our Remedial Massage Services
At Body In Balance Chiropractic, we offer soft tissue therapy to help you get well and stay well. Remedial massage focuses on particular areas of muscle tension and chronic pain and aims to relieve them with deep tissue work. Isolated pressure is used to loosen the muscle, easing the area of discomfort. Using specific techniques, remedial therapists can locate and repair damage, as well as support and improve the body’s own repair mechanisms.
Remedial massage stimulates the body’s blood supply, which allows toxins in the muscles to be removed. It calms the muscles to ease pain and discomfort and tones and relaxes the muscles to improve joint mobility. It improves our body’s cells, repairs tissues, and eases stiffness and tension.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral?
Most of our patients are referred by family and friends. No referral is required from your GP. Some of our patients are referred by their GP who also provide them with a care plan.
Can I cancel or change my appointment?
Once you have booked, you will receive a confirmation email. We will do whatever is possible to accommodate your needs and shift your time if we can. We do require 24 hours notice for cancellation of an appointment so we can offer others your time. Book here.
Please find our cancellation policy here.
I’ve never been to a chiropractor – will it hurt?
We utilise various techniques when working on patients. Many of these techniques are gentle and may include manual adjustments to help your body. The techniques used will be based on your assessment and needs, and we will ensure we are as gentle as possible. Your practitioner will, however, constantly check with you to ensure you're comfortable.
The ‘pop sound’ that is often associated with manual chiropractic adjustments is most often not uncomfortable, and is usually a relief! Should you specifically not want to have any manual techniques used on you, please mention this to your chiropractor ahead of time; they often use other options to assist you.
What do I need to know about Medicare / private health insurance?
Your private health insurer may offer you benefits under EXTRAS > which may cover Chiropractic, remedial massage & myotherapy too > can claim on site in our practice or through your health insurance provider directly via their website or app.
Your GP > referral > Chronic disease management plan (EPC) which is covered with Medicare (usually for a maximum of 5 visits per year). We provide the invoice with the details required to claim back your rebate directly through Medicare.
Is it a once off visit, or will I need to come back, and how often?
We unfortunately will not know your prognosis until we have assessed you in person. From there we will be able to discuss what we find and what your goals are. In general, your body health is an on-going concern which should be maintained. You only need to book your first appointment and can book additional appointments (if necessary), at the end of your appointment or online.
Can I pick any practitioner?
Certainly! Start your online booking below and you will have the option to select your preferred practitioner and date / time. Note that not all practitioners are available everyday so if you urgently need to see someone, select the option for “ANY AVAILABLE PRACTITIONER”.
Our other practice, Back In Line Chiropractic, is only 15-20 minutes away, in South Melbourne / Southbank. They may have extra availability. Book here.
I still have questions...
Please reach out to us and we will gladly assist – you can find all our contact details here. We can even book your appointment over the phone.
If you or someone you know is suffering from some health issues and they are looking at taking a natural approach to managing these issues, then our practice may be the right place.
