What does a chiropractor do?

A chiropractor is a registered health professional who works with musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those involving the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system. At Range Performance, chiropractic care focuses on assessment, movement, manual therapy, and rehab strategies to support pain management, function, and performance.

What conditions do you see?

We commonly see people with:

• Back and neck pain

• Training- or sport-related injuries

• Joint pain (hips, shoulders, knees)

• Headaches related to musculoskeletal factors

• Ongoing pain that affects training or daily activity

Care is always individualised and based on your presentation and goals.

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?

No referral is required. You can book directly online.
If needed, we may collaborate with your GP or other health professionals to support your care.

What happens in an initial appointment?

Your first appointment includes:

• A detailed health and movement history

• Physical and movement assessment

• Discussion of findings and options

• Treatment where appropriate

You’ll have time to ask questions and understand the proposed approach before proceeding.

Do you only do spinal adjustments?

No. Chiropractic care at Range Performance is not adjustment-only.

Treatment may include:

• Manual therapy (which may include joint mobilisation or manipulation where appropriate)

• Soft tissue techniques

• Movement and exercise-based rehab

• Load management and training guidance

Care is selected based on what’s appropriate for you.

Is chiropractic care safe?

Chiropractic care is considered safe when provided by a registered practitioner following appropriate assessment. As with any healthcare intervention, there are risks and benefits, which will be discussed with you before treatment.

If chiropractic care is not appropriate for your presentation, we will discuss alternative options or refer you on as needed.

Will chiropractic care fix my pain?

Chiropractic care does not guarantee outcomes.

Our aim is to:

• Support pain management

• Improve movement and function

• Help you return to activities that matter to you

Recovery varies between individuals and depends on many factors, including the nature of the condition, load, recovery, and lifestyle.

How many sessions will I need?

There is no set number of sessions.

After your initial assessment, we’ll discuss:

• Likely short-term and longer-term options

• Review points

• Whether ongoing care is appropriate

Care plans are flexible and adjusted based on progress.

Do you treat athletes and people who train?

Yes. We regularly work with:

• Gym-goers

• Runners

• Team sport athletes

• Combat sport athletes

Care is designed to fit around training, not automatically stop it, where appropriate.
