Experienced Chiropractors

Yes, chiropractic care can be beneficial for both children and seniors. For children, it can help with various conditions and support proper growth and development. For seniors, chiropractic care can help manage age-related issues, improve mobility and enhance quality of life. Currently, our oldest patient is in her 90s and has been seeing us for over 30 years.

Absolutely. While chiropractic care is often associated with back pain, it can address a wide range of musculoskeletal issues throughout your body. This includes neck pain, headaches, joint pain, and even some non-musculoskeletal conditions. Our chiropractors take a holistic approach to health, considering how spinal alignment can affect your overall body function and well-being.

The time to see results can vary depending on your condition. Many patients experience some relief after their first few sessions. However, for chronic or complex conditions, it may take several weeks or months of consistent treatment to achieve significant, lasting results. Your chiropractor will develop a personalised treatment plan and provide expectations based on your specific situation.

Ongoing chiropractic care is generally considered more effective than occasional visits for several reasons:

• It allows for consistent monitoring and adjustment of treatment plans
• It helps maintain improvements and prevent relapses
• It can address underlying issues that may not be apparent in occasional visits
• It promotes overall wellness and preventive care

The success rate of chiropractic care for pain relief can vary depending on your specific condition, overall health and other individual factors. However, a recent study by the ACA shows that around 77% of people who received chiropractic treatment described it as "very effective" for pain relief, particularly in treating neck and lower back pain.

During the week, our clinics are open from 8:30am to 6pm. We’re also open every Saturday from 8:30 to 1pm. Please book an appointment before coming in.

Our appointments run from 15 to 30 minutes depending on the severity of your condition, though initial consultations may be longer, often around 45 minutes.

While seeing the same chiropractor consistently offers benefits, we understand if you prefer to consult different team members. You're also welcome to visit our Maroochydore and Coolum Beach clinics interchangeably, as needed. At Rasura Chiropractic Centres, you’re never locked in.

Chiropractic adjustments are generally not painful. Most patients experience relief or a sense of relaxation after an adjustment. Some may feel minor discomfort, especially if the area being treated is already sore, but this typically fades quickly.

Our chiropractors maintain strict hygiene protocols, use sterilised equipment and follow professional guidelines. They also perform thorough patient assessments before treatment to ensure the safety and appropriateness of chiropractic care for each person.

Our chiropractors prioritise patient comfort by explaining procedures beforehand, using cushioned treatment tables, providing pillows or bolsters for support and encouraging open communication. They also tailor their techniques to each patient's comfort level and preferences.

We strive to accommodate our patients as quickly as possible. In many cases, we can offer same-day or next-day appointments, especially for urgent cases. Give us a call, and we'll do our best to fit you in at a time that suits you.

The frequency of your visits depends on your needs and condition. After your initial assessment, we'll create a personalised treatment plan that may involve more frequent visits initially, tapering off as you improve. We're committed to providing the care you need without unnecessary appointments.

While every patient is unique, many of our patients experience significant improvement within 6-12 weeks of consistent care. Some conditions may resolve more quickly, while chronic issues might require ongoing management. Rest assured, we'll regularly assess your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed to ensure optimal results.

During your first visit, you can expect a comprehensive assessment. This typically includes a detailed discussion of your health history, current concerns and goals.

Your chiropractor will perform a physical examination, which may involve assessing your posture, range of motion, and specific orthopaedic tests. If necessary, they might recommend additional diagnostic tests. They will then explain their findings and suggest a personalised treatment plan.

To make the most of your appointment, it's helpful to:

• Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing
• Bring any recent X-rays or medical reports related to your condition
• Make a list of your current medications and supplements
• Note down any questions or concerns you want to discuss
• Arrive a few minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork

We develop personalised treatment plans based on several factors:

• Your specific condition and symptoms
• Your overall health and medical history
• Your lifestyle and daily activities
• Your treatment goals
• The results of your physical examination and any diagnostic tests

Your chiropractor will consider all these elements to create a plan tailored to your individual needs, which may include a combination of chiropractic adjustments, exercises, lifestyle recommendations, and other complementary therapies.

For Chronic Health issues , patients are able to access an Enhanced Primary Care plan (EPC) from their GP which allows them up to 5 treatments per calendar year at a significantly discounted price.

We accept Eftpos, Medicare, DVA and EPC. We are also Bupa and Medibank preferred providers.

No. As our chiropractors are primary health care practitioners, you do not need a referral to see us. Feel free to book an appointment or ask us any questions about our services.

Many health insurance plans cover chiropractic care. Check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage.
