About this service
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a hands-on healthcare discipline focused on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions — particularly those involving the spine. Our chiropractors use specific, controlled adjustments to restore proper joint movement, reduce nerve irritation, and support the body's natural ability to heal. At Sera, chiropractic care is integrated with our broader multidisciplinary team, meaning your treatment plan can draw on physiotherapy, myotherapy, and exercise rehabilitation when needed.

Common questions
Frequently asked
Is chiropractic safe?
Yes. Chiropractic is one of the most thoroughly researched manual therapies. Our chiropractors are university-trained and registered with AHPRA. We conduct a full assessment before any treatment to ensure it is appropriate for you.
Will I hear a "crack" during treatment?
The sound sometimes heard during a spinal adjustment is simply gas releasing from the joint — similar to cracking your knuckles. It is not bones grinding together, and it is not painful for most people.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies depending on your condition, how long you have had it, and your goals. Many patients feel significant improvement within 3–6 visits. We will give you a clear treatment plan at your first appointment.
Can I see a chiropractor and physiotherapist at the same time?
Absolutely — and this is often the most effective approach. Our team communicates directly, so your care is coordinated rather than duplicated.
