What We Help With

Back pain is one of the main reasons people come to see us at Health First Chiropractic. Whether it’s from heavy work, sitting too long, or ongoing stiffness, we provide one-on-one care in private treatment rooms to help ease strain and restore movement. Our chiropractors offer both gentle and manual techniques, depending on your comfort and needs. We also give you practical advice so you can manage your back more confidently day to day.

Yes, this is an area of special interest for our team at Health First Chiropractic. Many of our patients come to us with slipped discs, bulging discs, or sciatica causing sharp leg pain, tingling, or weakness. Our Modbury chiropractors have over 20 years of experience managing disc-related conditions, using gentle, evidence-based techniques such as flexion distraction therapy, low-force instrument adjusting, and targeted hands-on care to reduce irritation on the nerves and support spinal healing. Just as importantly, we’ll give you clear advice on posture, activity, and recovery strategies so you know how to manage your condition outside the clinic.

Many headaches and migraines are linked to tension in the neck, poor posture, or spinal strain. At Health First Chiropractic, we look closely at these contributing factors and provide care tailored to your situation. This may include gentle spinal adjustments, soft tissue work, or posture guidance. Our goal is always to reduce the frequency and intensity of your headaches in a way that’s safe, respectful, and comfortable for you.

Absolutely. We see many Modbury locals with neck and upper back tightness from long hours at a desk or on devices. Our chiropractors combine hands-on techniques with practical advice on ergonomics, stretches, and movement that actually fit into your daily routine. Over time, this can help you feel less stiff, improve your posture, and move more freely.

Our chiropractor, Dr Ella Bourne, holds scoliosis-specific accreditation and is trained in SEAS (Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis). She works closely with ScoliCare Adelaide to provide non-surgical options, including individualised exercise programs and bracing when appropriate. With this specialised training and our team’s local expertise, you’ll have clear guidance from first assessment through to ongoing care, along with trusted pathways for further specialist input if needed.

We do. From tradies working on site to weekend athletes, many of our patients come in with sprains, strains, and joint injuries. At Health First Chiropractic, we use hands-on care, recovery advice, and exercise support to help you bounce back safely. With flexible hours, onthespot health fund rebates, and both male and female practitioners, getting care for sports injuries is simple and stressfree.
