A majority of health fund providers cover our treatments because of the proven health benefits and pain management control that our therapies offer. The rebate amount will generally cover 40-80% of the total treatment cost, however cover may vary for the fund based on level of cover, so it might be worth enquiring with your fund about how much cover you get each year, and when the cover rolls over. (that way you will get to use it all before it disappears).

HICAPS is available at our clinic, meaning if your health fund qualifies we can refund the difference on the spot. BOOK AN APPOINTMENT TODAY!

If you would like to claim treatment under Medicare for a rebate, again you must provide a GP referral form – EPC form, and bring it in with you to your chiropractic visits. You will receive a $52.95 rebate for 5 visits each calendar year.

If your claim is relating to workers compensation be sure to seek a referral from your GP to go ahead with a course of treatment, our practitioners have work cover provider numbers, and can assist you with claiming and provide medical reports and treatment receipts for claiming. ​

• Muscle Tension release
• Dry Needling
• Therapeutic reflexology
• Cupping techniques

• Cupping is a technique used by our remedial therapists to stimulate blood flow by placing the plastic ‘cups’ over soft tissue and gently applying pressure to move the muscles upward.
• The Cupping technique can be used to provide relief from muscular aches and pains, fatigue, stress and anxiety.
• Most patients will feel the difference after just one session.
• Your remedial massage practitioner may also give you simple exercises to practice at home to help with your long term health.

You can discuss with your chiropractor or remedial therapist about whether an ongoing treatment, that includes our cupping techniques or dry needling would be the right plan is right for you.

Massage is often recommended along with chiropractic treatment, either before or after and adjustment, as part of a patients treatment regime. The combination of these treatments often produces more effective results, and faster healing for the patient.

Chiropractic adjustments at ChiroCure Clinic with our highly trained practitioners can help to remove misalignments that may be impinging nerves, which normalizes nerve flow often eliminating stomach issues.

​These areas can either be spinal (related to the neck, mid and lower back) or extremity (related to the shoulders, elbows, hands, hips, knees or feet) and be caused by poor joint movement, nervous system interference or muscular dysfunction.
​

Your Seat
One area of your seat adjustment that is regularly overlooked is the tilt of your seat. Adjusting the driver’s seat to the perfect position can enhance both the comfort and effectiveness of your driving. Luckily the car companies have done most of the hard work for you but there are still many people who don’t know how to properly adapt their seat to suit their height or length.

Adjusting the driving position makes life much more comfortable:
• Tilt the seat so that your bottom and thighs are supported equally. You don’t want pressure points at the end of the seat and your thighs should extend past the seat so the backs of your knees are not making contact.
• Recline your seat up to a 100-110 degree angle to support the upper body and take away pressure from the muscles, joints and discs in your lower back.
• The height of your seat is very important to the comfort of your driving. Your hips and knees should be the same level and you should have a good view out of the front window without your knees touching the steering wheel.
• To minimise the strain on your neck and upper back, adjust your steering wheel so that your elbows do not reach too far forward.
You should vary the positions you drive and how you grip the steering wheel regularly to change the stressors on certain parts of your neck and back.
 
​
Your Mirrors
Be sure to stay in a safe driving position and alter your mirrors each time you adjust your seat.

These are all questions that our practitioners get asked regularly. Below are some handy tips about the correct sleeping position. We also offer a range of therapeutic pillows to improve your sleep quality.
