Chiropractic Adjustments
Restoring natural movement, reducing discomfort, and helping your body function at its best.
At Living Chiropractic, we use chiropractic adjustments to help unlock your body’s ability to move, heal, and thrive.
If you’re feeling stiff, sore, or “out of alignment,” chances are your joints or spine aren’t moving as well as they should. Whether you’re dealing with back pain, neck tension, nerve discomfort, or a lingering injury, a chiropractic adjustment might be the reset your body needs.
What is a Chiropractic Adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment is a gentle, precise movement applied to a joint (most commonly in the spine) that isn’t functioning properly. When a spinal joint becomes restricted or moves incorrectly, it can affect surrounding nerves, muscles, and even organ function. This is known as a vertebral subluxation.
At Living Chiropractic, we use the Gonstead System, a gold standard in chiropractic care that’s known for being thorough, safe, and highly specific. Every adjustment is tailored to your body, based on a complete assessment of your spine, posture, movement, and (if needed) X-rays.
What Can It Help With?
Our patients often seek chiropractic adjustments for:
Back pain and stiffness
Neck pain and tension
Headaches and migraines
Sciatica and nerve pain
Postural fatigue
Pregnancy-related discomfort
Reduced flexibility and joint mobility
Chiropractic adjustments aren’t just for pain relief—they support better function, better posture, and a more balanced nervous system.
“It’s not just about cracking backs—it’s about restoring movement, improving nerve communication, and helping you feel more like yourself.”
What Makes Our Approach Different?
We don’t do quick crack-and-go adjustments.
Instead, we take the time to understand what your body needs. That means:
✔ A thorough spinal and neurological assessment
✔ Clear explanation of what’s going on and why
✔ Precise, hands-on adjustments using the Gonstead technique
✔ Adjustments only where necessary—never more, never less
We also work alongside myotherapists, remedial massage therapists, and Lester Cox technicians if soft tissue support or structural correction is needed as part of your care plan.
Are Adjustments Safe?
Chiropractic adjustments are considered very safe when performed by qualified professionals. Our chiropractors are highly trained and registered in Australia. We use specific tests and assessments to ensure each adjustment is suitable for you.
For pregnant women, babies, and children, we use low-force and gentle techniques adapted to their needs. You’re always in control—we’ll explain every step and never proceed unless you feel comfortable.
