Chiropractic Care

Most of us experience back, shoulder, neck, or leg pain at some point, whether we sit at a desk for long periods daily, play sports, or pick up and put down a growing toddler frequently.

• The word “chiropractic” means “to do by hand.” It is a form of natural therapeutic healthcare that focuses on the spine and other joints of the body and how they connect to the nervous system.
• Our chiro in Canberra employs gentle therapy and adjusts body structures to correct abnormal nerve function, support the nervous system, and re-establish joint performance. Dr. Kathy demonstrates considerable experience using an array of techniques.
• It’s important to understand that chiropractic doesn’t treat everything. However, by correcting issues such as misaligned, stiff, or weakened joints in the spine and throughout the body, chiropractic adjustments can set the stage for your body to heal. When that happens, many people experience less pain and improved function.

We care for patients of all ages at our Canberra practice, from newborns to seniors – and everyone in between.

Our care at Universal Chiropractic is always personalised, never a cookie-cutter or one-size-fits-all approach. Our chiropractor creates care plans specifically tailored to each client. We use suitable techniques determined by each client’s concern, age, and health.

• Rest assured that we would never adjust an infant as we would an adult. Dr. Kathy would use light fingertip pressure – about what one would use when putting pressure on your eyeball – for infants.
• She would apply more appropriate pressure to an adult in robust health. Even so, it is unnecessary to make forceful adjustments when doing a correction. Our approach is to use as little force as possible to achieve results. Treatment may include making modifications manually, as required.
• We create a calm, welcoming, kid-friendly environment. Many children love our chiro services because they enjoy our fun, light-hearted atmosphere. We encourage mums and dads to hold them close during their assessment to provide reassurance in case their youngster is nervous. Dr. Kathy will only proceed when your child is comfortable.

Along with chiropractic care, we offer wellness coaching and guidance on positive lifestyle habits such as diet and exercise.
