DECLARATION · CHIROPRACTIC
// 240 GLEBE POINT ROAD · GLEBE 2037 · EST. 2024

Evidence-based chiropractic. No subluxation theology · no maintenance plans.

// A single-room structural chiropractic practice on Glebe Point Road. Manipulation and mobilisation used where the evidence supports it, integrated with strength work, never "corrective care plans", never X-rays for marketing, never lifetime memberships. Sixty-minute initial. Forty-five-minute reviews. Cancel any time.

// THE DECLARATION

Five things we will do — in writing.

// Locked since opening · 2024
// Reviewed annually
01

Treat with evidence, not theory

// Manipulation, mobilisation, soft-tissue work, exercise prescription. All used where current evidence supports use for the presenting complaint. Not used because it pays.

02

Cap the number of sessions

// Most acute cases finish within four to six visits. Most chronic cases finish within twelve. Reviewed at three. Nothing is open-ended. Plans in writing.

03

Refer when we should

// To physiotherapy, GP, sports medicine, surgical opinion, mental health. Without exception. Without competition. The patient comes first; the room is secondary.

04

Add strength to every plan

// No passive-only treatment. Every patient leaves with a written load and movement plan. Most plans are short, specific, and progressed at every review.

05

Charge once, charge fairly

// One visit fee. No "wellness club", no twelve-week packs, no auto-debit. HICAPS on the day. Medicare CDM accepted with referral. Bulk-bill pension days each fortnight.

// 02 — SCOPE OF PRACTICE

What we treat. In plain English.

// 03 — WHAT WE WILL NOT DO

Five things you will not be sold.

01 — TWELVE-WEEK PLANS

// No paid-in-advance "wellness plans". You will not be sold twelve sessions on day one. Every plan reviewed at three visits, in writing, with the option to stop.

02 — X-RAYS WITHOUT INDICATION

// X-ray is requested when it changes management. Never to "show subluxation". The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists guidelines are the standard.

03 — INFANT & CHILD ADJUSTMENT

// We do not treat babies, infants, or under-twelves. The evidence base does not support it. Paediatric musculoskeletal cases referred to a paediatric osteopath or physio.

04 — PASSIVE-ONLY CARE

// Manipulation alone is not the plan. Every patient leaves with a strength & movement plan in writing. If the plan is not followed, the next visit reviews why before treating.

05 — DISCOUNT BOOK-OF-TEN PACKS

// We charge for each session, on the session. No memberships, no auto-debit, no chiropractic clubs. HICAPS on the day. Medicare CDM where applicable.

06 — TREATING OUT-OF-SCOPE

// We do not treat what is not chiropractic — fertility, asthma, ADHD, autism, anxiety, allergies. The patient is referred to the practitioner who can. Without competition.

// 04 — THE PRACTITIONER
