Why choose chiropractic?

Chiropractic care offers a distinct approach by focusing on the spine as a central piece of the puzzle when it comes to pain, movement, and overall function. While physiotherapy and osteopathy can be incredibly helpful in many cases, chiropractic care hones in on how spinal mechanics influence the nervous system and the body’s ability to heal and regulate itself. It’s not just about easing discomfort—it’s about addressing the underlying dysfunction that’s often driving it. By improving spinal alignment and mobility, chiropractic care aims to restore proper communication between the brain and body, helping you feel and function at your best.

what to expect

Initial Appointment

At Vardi Chiropractic, your first visit is all about getting to know you—your health history, how your body’s moving, and what you’re hoping to achieve. We’ll take you through a thorough assessment and, if it’s safe to do so, begin treatment straight away. If we feel further imaging—like X-rays—is needed, we’ll refer you to the right place.

what to expect next

There’s a lot to take in during your first visit, so your second appointment is all about clarity. This is where we go through your results in detail, give you a clear diagnosis, and explain what’s contributing to your symptoms. From there, we outline the next steps and tailor a plan that suits your body, your goals, and your lifestyle.

beyond the pain

Our focus isn’t just on getting you out of pain—it’s about helping you maintain your progress and continue doing the things you love.

We check in regularly to track your progress, support your goals, and make sure you’re heading in the right direction. It’s all part of creating lasting results, not just quick fixes.

frequently asked questions

  • A chiropractic adjustment is a gentle, targeted movement applied to a specific joint to help restore normal function in your spine—and support your nervous system. Why the nervous system? Because it controls everything your body does, and when the spine isn’t moving well, it can interfere with how those messages are sent and received. That’s why an adjustment is about more than just cracking joints—it’s about improving how your whole body functions.

  • We use a variety of techniques to adjust the spine—from hands-on methods to specialised tables and instruments. No matter the approach, our goal is always the same: to restore proper movement, reduce tension, and support a healthier nervous system so you can get back to doing what you love.

    Alongside your adjustment, we often use soft tissue work and active muscle release to address tight or overworked areas. These techniques help improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and support longer-lasting results.

  • Most issues don’t develop overnight, and they don’t resolve overnight either. Just like going to the gym, lasting change takes consistency. Your first adjustment may ease pain and improve movement, but true results come from steady, cumulative care.

    Rather than making big changes all at once—which often don’t “hold”—we work with your body gradually. This helps reduce flare-ups, support long-term alignment, and improve how your body functions over time.

  • Most people find adjustments relieving. You might hear a little “crack” (that’s just gas being released from the joint), but the technique itself shouldn’t be painful. If something feels uncomfortable, we’ll always adjust the approach to suit you.

  • Yes! Chiropractic care can be very helpful during pregnancy, especially for managing back pain, pelvic discomfort, and general mobility. We use gentle, safe techniques and pregnancy-specific adjustments.

  • No referral is needed for general chiropractic care. If you’re accessing care through programs like DVA or Medicare’s EPC plan, a referral from your GP will be required.

  • Most private health funds include chiropractic under extras cover. Bring your card, and we can process your rebate on the spot.
