CHIROPRACTIC CARE

At Banks & Dade, chiropractic care is delivered with a calm, considered approach that focuses on supporting how the body functions as a whole. Established in 2010, our clinic has supported the health and wellbeing of the Forster–Tuncurry community for many years, building long-standing relationships based on trust, experience and clear communication.

Our chiropractors work closely with each person to understand their concerns, movement patterns and goals. Care is tailored, respectful and grounded in experience, with a focus on helping you feel informed, supported and confident in the care you receive.

Understanding chiropractic care

Chiropractic care is based on the relationship between the spine, nervous system and overall body function. When this system is supported effectively, the body may move more freely and adapt more comfortably to daily demands.

Our approach looks beyond isolated symptoms and considers factors such as posture, movement patterns, stress and lifestyle. Care is guided by assessment, observation and open communication, with a focus on helping you understand how your body is functioning and why certain approaches may be recommended.

We utilise a wide range of techniques to accommodate all levels of sensitivity and comfort to help you feel relaxed and safe.

Your first chiropractic appointment

Your initial appointment allows time to understand your health history, current concerns and goals. This typically includes discussion and assessment to help build a clear picture of how your body is functioning.

From there, care is explained clearly, and any recommended next steps are discussed with you so you feel informed and comfortable. We may refer you for medical imaging if required. Follow-up appointments focus on reviewing how you are responding and adjusting care as needed over time.
