Holistic Chiropractor Sydney CBD
– A unique and individualised muscle and spine approach.
As a chiropractor with over 10 years of experience and a myotherapist with over 20 years of experience, I am in a unique position to bridge the gap between the spine and the myofascial system. Getting your spine adjusted without treating the muscles and fascia that support and move the spine typically produces a band-aid fix, as the chronic muscle tension returns within several days and may require regular treatment for months, sometimes the results are so symptomatic the chiropractor may need to see you multiple times a week!
The spine is a fascinating and interconnected structure; it consists of spinal joints, muscles, fascia, tendons, and ligaments. The spine is not a sum of different parts but a unit working in unison. Getting adjustments is excellent for the spinal joints, but never underestimate how much tension, trauma, and dysfunction is also stored in your muscle and fascial system. As tension develops over many years, they can become very stiff, rigid, and achy, which don’t get addressed with adjustments alone. Adjusting the spine often inhibits the pain signals going to the brain in the short-term, but the underlying tension doesn’t go away for the pain to return quickly. This is why Keiran offers an integrated spinal treatment.

See what clients are saying about Sydney Chiropractic & Massage.
How much does treatment cost?
In the CBD a chiropractor visit can be up to $85 for 10-minutes. With this symptomatic approach most people will more than likely need multiple visits a week and frequent and ongoing visits.
At Sydney Chiropractic & Massage you get a 30–45 minute treatment which includes chiropractic, massage, dry needling, myofascial cupping for only $90 & $120. This approach saves you money as you get much more hands-on time spent with you, with most people only needing 2-3 visits and there is no need to see several professionals for the same issue.
Do I need x-rays?
Unless you have had a history of trauma, cancer or other more serious symptoms you do not need x-rays. Research has clearly showed the things that show up on x-rays such as arthritis/degeneration, misalignment etc… are not related to pain. You could take an x-ray of a group of people who never/rarely gets back pain and the findings will be almost identical to someone who has back pain. The Chiropractic Board of Australia strongly recommends against the use of x-rays without proper clinical justification. Taking x-rays to look for misalignments & arthritis is not clinical justification & goes against not only chiropractic, but medical & physiotherapy guidelines.
I have seen them used countless times as a scare tactic and a marketing scam. Someone has back pain, they get x-rays taken, told there “spine is out” and they have “arthritis” (which everyone has) and that’s the cause of their pain & will need to commit to excessive & expensive “care plans” & out of fear a more likely to do so. A 2019 study in the prestigious European Spine Journal found imaging in low back pain is associated with higher treatment costs & increased treatment utilization. Which is great if you’re a dishonest practitioner or therapist looking to increase profits.
Is your treatment painful?
Generally speaking, the adjustments are quick and painless. Some people may be hesitant about getting certain areas of the body adjusted, in that case there are many effective alternate techniques which can be used if needed.
The massage for the most part is a good or relieving pain, it may get a bit intense at certain points but the pressure is always kept below your threshold & done in short intervals. Usually by the second treatment as the muscles have released the massage is usually very relaxing and most look forward to the muscle work especially after longs hours sitting at a desk. looking to increase profits.
Do doctors recommend chiropractic?
This depends on the chiropractor and the referring doctor. I have several GP’s refer their musculoskeletal patients to me based on positive feedback from mutual patients and my high success rate. I also have doctors I see as patients.
Do you accept private health funds and Medicare?
Yes, assuming you are covered for chiropractic you can get private health fund reimbursement. To get chiropractic partly covered by Medicare you will need to get an Extra Patient Care form from your GP. This is totally at the GP’s discretion.
