Modbury’s Best Choice for Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors are trained health professionals who assess, diagnose, and help manage problems with your spine, muscles, joints, and nerves. At Health First Chiropractic in Modbury, we look at how your body moves, where it may be restricted, and what could be driving your pain. Care may include hands-on chiropractic adjustments, gentle low-force techniques, soft tissue therapy, and practical advice for work and home. The aim is to relieve pain, improve mobility, and support your long-term spinal health.

No referral is needed to book with us. You can make an appointment directly online or by phone whenever it suits you. If you do have a GP referral through a Medicare Care Plan (GP Chronic Condition Management Plan – GPCCMP) or are a DVA patient, we can process that for you. Either way, you don’t have to wait for a referral to get started.

Many people come to us for back and neck pain, headaches, sciatica, nerve pain, and posturerelated strain. We also see shoulder problems, arthritis-related pain and stiffness, spinal curves and scoliosis, sports injuries, and long-term tightness that interferes with day-to-day life. Whether it’s a new flareup or an ongoing issue, we’ll take the time to understand your situation and discuss options that suit your goals.

Yes. Every patient has different needs and preferences, so we provide both traditional hands-on adjustments and gentle, lowforce approaches. These include mobilisation, instrument adjusting, pelvic blocks, and flexion distraction therapy. You’re always in control of the style of care you receive, and we’ll explain options clearly so you can choose what feels right for you.

The time it takes to notice improvement depends on the cause of your problem, how long you’ve had it, and your overall health and activity levels. Some people feel relief within the first few visits, while others require more time for lasting change. Our focus is on working with you at your pace, giving you realistic expectations, and helping you build confidence in your recovery.

Your first appointment is all about understanding your situation and making sure chiropractic care is right for you. We’ll start with a private, one on one consultation, take a thorough history, and complete an assessment. From there, we’ll explain what we find and discuss the options available. If chiropractic care is suitable and you’re ready, we can begin treatment at that first visit.
