Why choose us in Peregian Springs
Built around the swing and the school week
A golf swing asks the hips, lower back and shoulders to rotate quickly and in sequence. When one area is stiff, another may take more of the load. Our chiropractors in Peregian Springs' nearest clinic watch how you turn, then explain what the findings mean for your game and your week.
Families booking with chiropractors in Peregian Springs often have tight schedules, so we keep plans clear. No pre-paid packages are sold. When a GP or another practitioner would serve you better, we say so and help arrange it.
Rotation checked, not guessed
We test hip, trunk and shoulder rotation on both sides, which helps us see where golf back pain may be coming from.
Orthopaedic and movement testing
Saturday morning appointments
As a Saturday chiropractor, we run sessions from 8:30am to 1pm, before or after a morning round or kids' sport.
Saturdays 8:30am to 1pm
Room for the whole family
Younger siblings can wait in the dedicated children's room at Coolum Beach. In line with the Chiropractic Board of Australia's interim policy, our chiropractors do not use spinal manipulation to treat children under two.

Choice of adjusting style
Dr Amanda Frache and Dr Ken Rasura are both chiropractors at Coolum Beach, and low-force chiropractic with the Activator instrument is available alongside manual adjusting.
Manual and low-force options
Cover you can use
Bupa members get preferred-provider claiming, since we're a Bupa preferred chiropractor, and Medibank Private members do too. A GP can also refer eligible patients under a Medicare chiropractic care plan.
Golf, school-age sport and lifting are the threads that run through what chiropractors in Peregian Springs hear about most. These four services cover the bulk of what our chiropractors in Peregian Springs' area are asked to assess.
Sports chiropractic for golfers
Golf strains often show up in the lower back, lead hip or lead shoulder. We look at your rotation, balance and posture at address, then discuss adjusting, soft tissue work and mobility drills. The aim is to help you move comfortably through your swing. We may suggest a chat with your golf professional if technique looks like a factor.
Best for: Golfers with back, hip or shoulder strain
Lower back pain can follow a round, a weekend of gardening or a long drive to an away game. Our examination covers lumbar movement, pelvic position, hip range and, where symptoms travel, the nerves to the legs. You then hear the findings and choose from adjusting, Activator or drop-piece work, muscle release and a few home drills. Red-flag symptoms are referred to a GP.
Best for: Stiffness after golf, lifting or driving
Shoulder pain can come from the joint itself or be referred from the neck, so we examine both. We test strength and range of motion, then talk through soft tissue work, mobilisation and exercises. Golfers and parents throwing balls at training often present this way. Shoulders that ache at night or feel noticeably weak can warrant a scan, which we'd organise through a referral.
A stiff lead hip may limit your turn and shift load onto the lower back. We assess hip rotation, glute strength and how the pelvis moves during walking and squatting. Treatment could involve adjusting the pelvis or lower back, releasing the glutes and a set of hip-opening stretches. Hip pain with locking, giving way or swelling may need medical review first.
Best for: Restricted turn or hip ache after a round
Chiropractors in Peregian Springs for a master-planned suburb
A suburb built around eighteen holes
Postcode 4573 covers this inland estate, roughly 21.9 km up the coast from Maroochydore in the Sunshine Coast Region. It was planned as a community with an 18-hole golf course at its centre. That course, designed by Phil Scott, opened in 2003, is a par 72 and reopened as Peregian Golf Course in December 2016. Council records suggest the Peregian name comes from emu, possibly because of the number of emus in the district.
Rotation, rentals and school bags
St Andrew's Anglican College opened in January 2003 and Peregian Springs State School in January 2010, so school runs shape many mornings. Golf adds repeated, one-directional rotation, a common thread in golf back pain. Townhouses make up 20.4% of homes, and if yours has stairs, carrying washing and shopping up them adds load. With 37.5% of households renting, you can't always change the house, so we focus on what you can adjust.
The Coolum Beach connection
There's no Rasura clinic in the suburb. Getting there means taking Emu Mountain Road and David Low Way to our Coolum Beach chiropractor team in Birtwill St. For people comparing chiropractors in Peregian Springs, it's the closest choice, with parking and wheelchair access.
How we work with golfers and families
We ask about your golf, your work and any past injuries, then test posture, joint range and, if needed, nerve function. Together we settle on a plan once you've heard the results. That might involve adjusting, low-force options, soft tissue work and exercises for the swing or for lifting. Anything pointing to a medical cause is sent to your GP.
Complaints we hear about from the fairway and the school gate
Golf and family life produce a familiar set of complaints among people seeking chiropractors in Peregian Springs. Each needs a proper assessment, and chiropractors in Peregian Springs' area should explain findings before starting any care. Golf back pain is first on the list.
Golf
Lower back tightness after a round
Cause
The swing rotates the trunk hard in one direction, often dozens of times in a morning.
Why it matters
If the hips or upper back are stiff, the lower back may absorb more of that rotation and feel tight for a day or two.
Our solution
Rotation tests for the hips, mid-back and shoulders come first, then we talk through adjusting, muscle work and mobility drills for the swing.
Prevention / next step
Warm up before the first tee and do some practice swings to both sides. Numb or weak legs alongside back pain are a reason to see a GP before your next round.

Where do I go for a chiropractor in Peregian Springs?
Coolum Beach is the answer for anyone after chiropractors in Peregian Springs, since the suburb has no Rasura clinic. Take Emu Mountain Road and David Low Way to 4/21 Birtwill St, or call (07) 5446 5044 to book. Both Dr Amanda Frache and Dr Ken Rasura, each a chiropractor, consult from those Birtwill St rooms. If you'd like dry needling, or to see Dr Lillie Lines or Dr Natise Schalken, both chiropractors, our Alexandra Headland clinic offers that.
Can you look at my golf swing?
We don't coach the swing, but we do assess how your body moves through it. That means checking hip, trunk and shoulder rotation, balance and any areas of pain. We explain how stiffness in one area might shift load to another and suggest mobility work and warm-ups. If technique looks like a factor, we may suggest you talk with your golf professional as well.
Do you see school-age children?
Yes. School-age patients are welcome, and siblings can wait in the children's room at Coolum Beach. Care for older children is assessed carefully and kept gentle. In line with the Chiropractic Board of Australia's interim policy, our chiropractors do not use spinal manipulation to treat children under two. Should something need a doctor, we'll recommend a GP visit before any care.
Is there a Saturday chiropractor nearby?
Yes. The published hours include Saturday mornings from 8:30am to 1pm, with weekday sessions from 8:30am to 12:30pm and 1:30pm to 6pm. Those hours aren't listed per clinic, so call the Coolum Beach clinic on (07) 5446 5044 to confirm which sessions suit you. Saturday spots can be useful around a morning round or junior sport.
How do private cover and Medicare claims work?
Extras claims go through HICAPS on the spot, and as a Bupa preferred chiropractor and Medibank Private preferred provider we suit members of both funds. EFTPOS is available. For a long-standing condition, ask your GP whether you qualify for a Medicare chiropractic care plan, which caps rebated allied sessions at five per calendar year. DVA clients are also seen. We don't sell pre-paid packages.
