FAQ Chiropractic Therapy

Yes.

We have HICAPs facilities on site so you can claim on the spot.

Please note that you are not allowed to use your Private Health cover and the EPC plan at the same time.

If for whatever reason you do not bring your health fund card, or it isn’t working – we will print you a receipt and you can submit it to your health fund in order to get a rebate.

Yes.

Whilst Brett did complete his studies in South Africa, he has sat all the stringent Australian Board exams to ensure his qualification is fully recognised in Australia.

Consequently he is covered under Medicare and with all Private Health funds.

Nope.

You do not need a GP referral to book an appointment.

If a GP does refer you that’s great, we will liaise with them about your case, but it isn’t a requirement.

Absolutely.

It is a requirement of all practising Chiropractors to be fully insured in order to practice.

All Insurances and First Aid certificates are always kept up to date.

Currently Chiropractic services are available alternating Monday mornings, & evenings, Wednesday afternoons and Friday mornings.

Appointments can be booked online via our website or you can give us a call.

If you need to book a prime time position – late Wednesday afternoon, then yes you do need to book in advance.

Brett is highly sought after and often fills up a couple weeks in advance.

Once you have gotten through your Initial Consultation it will be much easier to book your next appointment in as the session time is shorter. We also have magicians who manage the diary so we always do our best to book you in!

Please allow 1hr for an Initial Consultation and 30 mins for all visits there after.

You will receive a treatment in each consultation, including the Initial.

Initial Consultations are $125.

Visits thereafter are $75.

Extended Consultations, which go for approximately 1hr are $125.

Yes! Of course. We look after spinal care as well as all sporting injuries.

Of course not!

Most sporting injuries do fall into the category of day to day injuries also.

We have a large client base of athletes and weekend warriors but it does not exclude you if you do not fall into that category.

We look after families, children, dogs and cats too.

Yes!

Brett has been in practice for over 15 years and has worked with many Sports Physicians, Physios, Orthopaedic Surgeons as well as elite athletes themselves.

Do not think of us as regular Chiro. Whilst we do spinal care we are very well versed in treating all sporting injuries.

Possibly.

This will depend on the injury you have and its nature and severity.

Everything will be considered in your first session and a treatment plan, as well as an exercise plan will be provided to you. This will include recommendations on how to modify your exercise as well as how to build back up to full strength.

Everyone’s needs will be different so a tailored plan will be put together for you.

Yes.

This is our specialty!

We have, far too many times had clients call up last minute needing to be patched up a few days before race day.

Whilst you should never leave an injury to the last minute we can definitely help you get through your big race and then we can properly treat you in your recovery.

It goes without saying that experience, knowledge and amicability should rate high on the list of features to look for in a Chiropractor.
At Paramount we also believe that clear communication and transparency are vital during treatment.

Our philosophy is to actively involve you in your care with a clear understanding of what is wrong, what needs to change and how we are going to achieve your goals.

We firmly believe that the treatment process is a two way street and a pivotal point is having you actively involved.
You can read more about how we practice in our Blog article on Chiropractic at Paramount.

Chiropractic is a modality that is recognised world wide and is also supported by the world health organisation.

There has been much research into chiropractic that has been funded by universities, governments as well as not for profit organisations and the studies have resolved that Chiropractic is a safe and successful primary therapy option for neuromusculo – skeletal conditions.

The evidence has shown that chiropractic is often safer then most alternative medical procedures that could be used to treat the same conditions.

Having said that, any medical procedure carries a level of risk and there are some situations where Chiropractic care is contraindicated (what is this?).

Chiropractors are trained to assess, identify and mitigate any risks or contraindications to treatment or adjustment and do so by going through a  thorough assessment prior to treatment.

This is to ensure that every precaution has been taken for your safe treatment and achieving your desired result.
