Chiropractic Care - Back Pain Relief, Chiropractor, Massage Therapy, and Sports Injury Clinic - Kogarah and Parramatta
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.
