Headaches

Neck & Back Pain

Having regular neck and back pain is not only uncomfortable, it can indicate symptoms of a serious, underlying issue. We will find out whether your pains are articular or extra-articular, and start working on it right away.

Hereditary Problems

WELCOME TO SPINAL CARE AUSTRALIA

We seek to align our goals with that of the World Health Organisation (W.H.O.) in regards to spinal related problems, and spinal maintenance.  In 2002 the WHO declared spinal and joint related injuries and problems a world-wide pandemic and have placed Chiropractors and Physiotherapists at the forefront of correcting spinal problems and educating patients and members of the general public on long term preventative care for spinal problems. 

Currently spinal problems are estimated to cost Australia 30 million dollars annually.  The W.H.O declared 2002-2011 the bone and joint decade, to raise awareness and educate people on correct spinal care.  We are at the forefront of that education process in Australia, and founders of the Health Check International program designed to raise awareness of spinal problems Australia wide and the benefits of Chiropractic.

Our clinic has a focus on improving your spine and assisting you in maintaining correct spinal alignment now and for years to come.  Like caring for your teeth, spinal care is an ongoing matter and a little maintenance and education are the best defence against spinal related disorders.

WHY DO I GET SPINAL PROBLEMS?

“Everyone gets back problems!”  We hear it all the time and, yes, you are absolutely right - everyone does get back problems.  It is a result of the lives we lead.  We are not made for sitting at a desk for hours on end, we are made for picking berries and chasing tigers.  Over time our spines become misaligned, wear out and generally deteriorate.  If we don’t brush our teeth they build up plaque, become eroded and eventually cause us pain.  We can eat a healthy diet and avoid sweets but if we don’t brush our teeth regularly we are still going to get problems.  Your spine is the same; you can exercise, sit up straight, have a good bed and correct pillow, but you still need to correct misalignments on a regular basis to prevent spinal problems.  Usually a visit to a Chiropractor once a month is enough to maintain your spine and keep it in healthy condition.

WHO SHOULD SEE A CHIROPRACTOR?

We all face stress in our lives both internal and external.  Normal day to day life coupled with physical stresses act against your body and when the body isn’t maintained to optimum health your ability to combat these stresses becomes unbalanced and illness occurs.  Chiropractic helps your body to cope with these stresses and helps prevent problems to your spine as well as your muscles, organs and nerves.  Everybody needs to see a Chiropractor regularly to help maintain their health.

IS MY PROBLEM GENETIC?

70% of spinal conditions are hereditary.  If you have a specific spinal problem chances are other people in your family have the same problem.  If you have a specific spinal problem please ask the staff about arranging a free check-up for your family.  Family discounts are available. 

OUR CHIROPRACTORS

Dr Gregory Coates    

Dr Coates was born in South Africa but educated in Australia from a young age.  Whilst at University Dr Coates was diagnosed with a brain tumour.  Frustrated with the limitations of traditional medicine, Dr Coates branched out seeking assistance from alternative medicine, prompting a passion in Chiropractic and diverting his life forever.  Dr Coates is a well-respected Chiropractor and keynote speaker to both public and corporate clients.

Dr Georgia Gardiner

Dr Gardiner’s passion for Chiropractic began after sustaining a serious injury and experiencing firsthand the barriers patients face when dealing with such injuries. After utilising many other disciplines to no avail, she began seeing a Chiropractor and experienced the benefits of Chiropractic in managing the initial injury and preventing reoccurrences. As a result, Dr Gardiner has a passion for patient-centred care and developing treatment plans specific to the condition, needs, and goals of each individual patient.

PATIENT RESPONSIBILITIES

Missed Appointments
All patients are provided with a schedule of care that varies according to injury, condition and / or whether you are on maintenance work already.  It is vitally important that your schedule is not interrupted, if you miss an appointment it is like taking 2 steps backwards.

If you are unable to attend your appointment it is important that you;
- call our office prior to your appointment time
- re-schedule your appointment so that you are still on schedule

Appointment Times
Our Chiropractors endeavour to run on time.  If you are late for an appointment you may have to wait until there is an available appointment slot.  If there are no available appointment times, you may have to be rescheduled to a different time or day.
