Back Pain, Chiropractor, Massage Therapy, and Sports Injury Clinic - Back To Basics Chiropractic

Back to Basics Chiropractic has been established since 2001. We currently provide our Chiropractic services to the St George and Parramatta regions, and many local sporting teams in the area including the St George-Illawarra Dragons and the Sydney Bulls Rugby League Club. Back to Basics Chiropractic also engages in regular community programmes, including free scoliosis screenings for local schools, and participation in TAFE-level information workshops.

We have both male and female practitioners who are able to provide a variety of techniques to cater for individual treatment needs. All of our Chiropractors have a minimum of five years University education, including a Masters degree, and are well-informed of current Chiropractic practices.

Back to Basics Chiropractic also offers instantaneous digital x-ray services with our on-site radiographic equipment. Our state-of-the-art technology allows for high-resolution digital images to be taken during consultation times to scan for injury, degenerative changes or general spinal screenings. These images can be viewed immediately, and recorded to disc for our patients to take home. Our x-ray views are bulk-billed through Medicare for all patients.

At Back to Basics Chiropractic, we believe strongly in creating a co-operative relationship between the patient and practitioner. Each patient is thoroughly educated on their specific condition and the avenues available to them. Patients are encouraged to take an active role in determining with the practitioner the best way to achieve high quality overall health.
