Conditions We Treat

We help with a wide range of conditions

Lower Back Pain

The most common reason patients visit us. Acute and chronic lower back pain, disc herniation, and lumbar strain.

Neck & Shoulder Pain

Cervicogenic headaches, whiplash, shoulder impingement, and tech neck from prolonged screen use.

Headaches & Migraines

Tension and cervicogenic headaches often respond well to spinal manipulation and soft tissue therapy.

Sports Injuries

Ankle sprains, muscle strains, IT band syndrome, and performance optimisation for athletes at all levels.

Sciatica

Radiating leg pain from compressed spinal nerve roots. We address the root cause, not just the symptom.

Posture Correction

Postural analysis and a structured program to reverse the effects of prolonged sitting and poor ergonomics.

Our Treatments

Evidence-based care, personalised to you

Every treatment plan begins with a thorough assessment. We combine multiple proven techniques to achieve the best outcome for your condition.

01

Spinal Adjustment

Precise manual manipulation to restore joint mobility, reduce nerve irritation, and relieve pain.

02

Soft Tissue Therapy

Myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilisation (IASTM).

03

Dry Needling

Targeted needling of myofascial trigger points to release chronic muscle tension and improve range of motion.

04

Rehabilitation Exercise

Personalised exercise programs to strengthen, stabilise, and prevent recurrence of your injury.

05

Postural Analysis

Digital postural screening and corrective exercise plans for long-term structural improvement.

Patient Reviews

What our patients say

"I had been living with lower back pain for three years. Dr. Holt identified a disc issue in the first assessment that two GPs had missed. After 8 sessions I was pain-free for the first time since 2021. Cannot recommend highly enough."
Thomas B.
Thomas B.Lower Back Pain Patient
"I was sceptical about chiropractic care but my GP recommended Align after my physio had plateaued. Dr. Lim was incredibly thorough and professional. My neck headaches are 90% better after 6 weeks."
Clare W.
Clare W.Cervicogenic Headaches
"As a distance runner I have had multiple injuries treated at Align. The combination of dry needling and spinal adjustment has kept me competitive and training consistently. The team understand sports medicine."

FAQ

Common questions

No. Chiropractors are primary healthcare providers and you can book directly. Some private health insurers may require a GP referral for rebates — check your policy.

Yes. Chiropractic care is one of the safest drug-free approaches to musculoskeletal pain. We perform a thorough health screening before any treatment to ensure it is appropriate for you.

This depends on your condition and how long you have had it. Acute injuries may resolve in 4–8 sessions. Chronic conditions typically require 10–16 sessions and a home exercise program.

Most private health extras cover chiropractic at varying rebate levels. We are registered with all major funds. Please bring your health fund card to your appointment.

Both treat musculoskeletal conditions. Chiropractors specialise in spinal manipulation and nerve function. Physiotherapists focus more on rehabilitation exercise. Many patients benefit from both.
