How we help
Back & Neck Pain
Living with back pain or neck pain can be frustrating, exhausting and difficult to ignore — even when it has only been present for a short time.
Your back and neck are involved in almost everything you do, from sitting, standing and walking to working, driving, sleeping, exercising and caring for your family. When they are not functioning well, everyday life can quickly feel harder than it should.
At Better., we understand how limiting back and neck pain can be. These are concerns we see regularly in practice, and we take the time to assess what may be contributing to your discomfort rather than simply focusing on the symptoms.
Below, we have outlined some important information to consider when looking for support with back or neck pain.
When you are ready, you can also book a consultation with our team so we can assess your spine, explain what we find and discuss whether chiropractic care may be suitable for you.
Back pain is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide and affects a significant number of Australians at some point during their adult lives.
For many people, back pain can interfere with work, sleep, movement, exercise and everyday activities — making it one of the most common reasons people seek support from a chiropractor.
At Better., we take the time to assess what may be contributing to your back pain and whether chiropractic care may be suitable for your individual needs.
Neck pain is becoming increasingly common, often due to the physical demands of everyday life.
For some people, neck pain may begin after a car accident, sports injury, sudden knock, awkward movement or even sleeping in an uncomfortable position. For others, it develops gradually over time.
Modern habits can place ongoing strain on the neck and shoulders. Sitting at a desk, looking down at phones and devices, studying, driving, preparing food over a bench or caring for young children can all encourage forward head posture and increased tension through the neck, upper back and shoulders.
When these positions are repeated or sustained for long periods, the joints, muscles and surrounding structures of the neck may become stressed, restricted or irritated.
At Better., our assessment process is designed to help identify what may be contributing to your back or neck pain and whether chiropractic care may be appropriate for you.
Your initial consultation may include a detailed history, posture and movement assessment, spinal examination and, where clinically indicated, functional X-rays. This allows us to look more closely at how your spine is functioning and whether there are underlying factors contributing to your pain or discomfort.
The information gathered during your consultation helps us select the most appropriate care approach for your body. Our goal is to provide gentle, specific and tailored chiropractic care based on your individual needs.

Our unique approach
-
Schedule a time to consult with one of our extensively trained chiropractors and experience our incredibly refined and thorough neurostructural assessment. You’ll have the opportunity to speak with one of our friendly team members before you visit us, to ask any questions and ensure you’re fully informed as we get started with helping you and/or your family.
-
At your Initial Consultation we’ll take a deep dive into your health history, asking questions you’ve probably never been asked before as we seek to uncover the root cause, so that you will not only feel truly seen and heard, we’ll begin to find helpful answers. Our INSiGHT Scanning technology applies three unique scans which allow us to find and measure specific areas of imbalance and dysfunction within your nervous system. These state-of-the-art scans are a vital piece of the puzzle in achieving extraordinary results, and they are non-invasive and safe for all ages, from infants to elderly. We also have digital X-ray facilities onsite and available whenever clinically necessary.tion text goes here

Following your Initial Consultation, we’ll schedule a Report of Findings. At this appointment your chiropractor will provide a detailed explanation of your INSiGHT Scan findings and the results of any other images or tests, and help you to connect the dots from your history so that you ultimately understand why things are the way they are. We’ll present you with a tailored care plan that is designed to help you achieve the outcomes you desire, based upon the results of your initial assessment. At this point we’ll clearly explain all of the necessary details of what you need to do to get better, how long it will take and what it will cost. Within this conversation we are committed to finding a pathway forward that not only suits your healthcare needs, but your budget and calendar availability as well.
