About our chiropractic practice in Kingswood
We have been on Belair Road for more than 40 years, caring for people from Mitcham, Unley and across Adelaide. Some of the families we see now are the third generation through the door.
What chiropractic care means here
The simplest way we can put it is this. Chiropractic care is about making sure your brain can talk to your body effectively. When that communication is disrupted, it affects how well the body works.
The word you will hear us use is subluxation, which describes a spinal segment that is not moving or functioning as well as it should. That creates interference in the nervous system, and because the nervous system coordinates so much, the interference can show up in a range of ways.
What people actually want is rarely to be subluxation-free. They want to be more patient with their kids, get through the working week with more in the tank, sit comfortably at dinner and sleep properly. That is the part we are interested in too.
Four things we work from
Chiropractic has a philosophy behind it, and ours shapes every visit. These four ideas sit underneath the way we assess and the way we explain things.
There is usually more going on
Symptoms are the part you notice. They are rarely the whole story, which is why the first visit looks at how your whole body is working rather than the sore part alone.
The body is built to adapt
Your body adjusts to what you ask of it every day, whether that is a desk, a netball season or a toddler on one hip. Our work supports that adaptability.
Your nervous system coordinates it
The brain and nervous system run the communication network for everything your body does. When that communication is disrupted, it shows up in different ways for different people.
An adjustment is new information
A chiropractic adjustment gives your nervous system something new to respond to. We are not forcing the body to do anything, we are reducing interference and letting it adapt.
Chiropractic care does not address disease, and we make no claims that it does. Results vary between individuals, and chiropractic care is not appropriate for everyone.
Advanced BioStructural Correction (ABC™)
ABC™ is the main technique we use. It is a whole-body protocol that works from head to toe following a consistent sequence, rather than adjusting wherever somebody reports pain.
What makes it different in practice is the attention it gives to compensation. Bodies work around old injuries, long hours in one position and habits built over decades, and those workarounds stack up. ABC™ is structured around finding and addressing them in order.
Alongside ABC™ we use diversified adjusting, applied kinesiology and SOT, and gentler approaches for children and older people. Which of those you get depends on your assessment rather than on what we happen to prefer.
We also run digital postural assessment, so there is an objective record of how you are holding yourself that we can compare against as your care continues.
Walking in the door
The practice is open plan and there is no front desk. This means that we come to you rather than sitting behind a counter waiting. There is usually music on and the kids' play area is front and centre.
You will find us at 71 Belair Road with the large 71 sign out the front, on Kaurna Land. Marni Naa Pudni is written on our window, which means welcome, glad you came. There is parking in front and behind, though the back streets are easier and give you a walk either side of your adjustment.
Who we look after
If you have got a spine and a nervous system, you belong here.
Short answer, people. Longer answer, all kinds of spines and all kinds of nervous systems. We see newborns through to people in their nineties, and a good number of families where we now see the children of people we adjusted twenty years ago.
Care changes with who is on the table. A six-week-old gets something very different from a footballer with a shoulder that has not been right since 2023, and both look different again from someone managing their posture through a desk job.
