Whatever's holding you back, we're here to help you move through it

These are some of the most common concerns we see at our Terrigal clinic. Every section explains what might be going on and how gentle chiropractic care can help.

Condition

Back Pain

From sudden twinges to years of stiffness, back pain has a way of affecting everything you do.

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people walk through our door. Sometimes it starts after a specific lift, bend or twist; other times it builds quietly from long hours at a desk, behind the wheel, or on your feet.

At Chiroflexion, we take the time to understand what's really driving your pain. Using gentle assessment, hands-on care and Flexion Distraction Therapy, we help settle irritated discs and joints, ease muscle tension, and restore the movement your back is asking for.

How Chiroflexion helps

  • Gentle disc decompression with Flexion Distraction Therapy
  • Hands-on techniques to improve spinal movement
  • Personalised exercises and posture guidance
  • A clear plan to prevent the same pattern returning

Condition

Headaches & Migraines

If headaches are becoming part of your normal, they don't have to be.

Many headaches — especially tension and cervicogenic headaches — are linked to the neck, jaw and upper back. Long hours at screens, stress, poor sleep and old injuries can all create a build-up of tension that the head ends up carrying.

We look at how your neck moves, how your shoulders sit, and how your daily habits might be contributing. Gentle chiropractic care can reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches by addressing the musculoskeletal patterns that feed them.

How Chiroflexion helps

  • Assessment of neck posture and movement
  • Gentle, low-force techniques to ease tension
  • Advice on triggers, sleep position and screen habits
  • A calm, unhurried approach suited to chronic sufferers

Condition

Neck Pain

Modern life is hard on necks. We can help yours feel at ease again.

Neck pain can come from a single awkward moment — a bad night's sleep, a sudden turn — or from the slow, repetitive strain of screens, phones and stress. Whatever the cause, the result is usually the same: stiffness, restricted movement, and sometimes pain that refers into the shoulders or head.

Our approach combines careful assessment with gentle, hands-on care. We don't force anything. We work with your body to release tension, restore movement, and give you practical ways to keep your neck comfortable long-term.

How Chiroflexion helps

  • Detailed assessment of neck and upper-back movement
  • Gentle chiropractic techniques tailored to your comfort
  • Soft tissue release and mobility work
  • Home-care and workplace posture advice

Condition

Whiplash Injuries

After a whiplash injury, your body needs patience, not pressure.

Whiplash can affect far more than the neck. Headaches, dizziness, brain fog, shoulder pain and arm tingling are all common after a sudden acceleration-deceleration injury. Symptoms can appear immediately or develop over days and weeks.

At Chiroflexion, we use a careful, staged approach to whiplash recovery. Early treatment is gentle and supportive. As your tissues heal, we gradually introduce more movement, strength and function so you can return to work, sport and daily life with confidence.

How Chiroflexion helps

  • Early, gentle assessment suited to acute injury
  • Non-forceful techniques in the sensitive first phase
  • Progressive rehabilitation as healing allows
  • Support for headaches, dizziness and referred symptoms

Condition

Sciatica (Leg Pain)

When leg pain is really coming from the back, the right gentle care can make a big difference.

Sciatica describes pain, numbness or tingling that travels from the lower back or buttock down the leg. It usually happens when the sciatic nerve is irritated by a tight muscle, an irritated disc or reduced space around the nerve.

Flexion Distraction Therapy is particularly well-suited to sciatica because it gently opens the space around the nerve without forceful twisting or clicking. Combined with careful assessment and movement advice, it helps many people find real, lasting relief.

How Chiroflexion helps

  • Detailed assessment to locate the nerve irritation
  • Flexion Distraction Therapy to gently decompress the area
  • Nerve mobility and stretching guidance
  • A gradual return to activity and movement
