Absolutely yes! Our team see physios all the time to help with injuries and minor niggles that are inevitable to come up when living a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise. 

Combining physiotherapy and chiropractic care can be an effective approach to maintaining optimal health and addressing various physical ailments. As chiropractors we often collaborate with physiotherapists to provide comprehensive care for our patients. 

Physiotherapists are fantastic at diagnosing and rehabilitating specific injuries which often includes a combination of soft tissue massage, taping and exercise prescription all of which are great ways to aid in rehabilitating an injury and strengthening and stabilising to prevent future injuries. 

As chiropractors, if we know that all of that is being taken care of it means that we can really provide you with what we do best which is indicating spinal subluxations and removing them with specific chiropractic adjustments to help optimise the structure and internal function of your entire body and aiding in brain and body connection.
