I am a Chiropractor

By Dr Jeremy Balbin - BHSc(Chiro), MClinChiro

I am a chiropractor. But my definition may differ from yours. This may be because I went to a different university than you might expect, or simply because the profession has evolved significantly over the years.

Modern Chiropractic Care

Historically, chiropractic was often associated solely with "cracking backs" and the belief that all disease stemmed from spinal misalignments (subluxations). Today, evidence-based chiropractors take a much broader, more comprehensive approach to musculoskeletal health.

• Beyond the Spine: While we are experts in spinal health, we also treat shoulders, knees, hips, and ankles. We look at the body as an interconnected biomechanical system.
• Multimodal Treatment: An adjustment (manipulation) is just one tool in our toolbox. We also use soft tissue therapy, dry needling, mobilisation, and exercise prescription.
• Patient Empowerment: A modern chiropractor focuses on active care. We want to teach you how to move better, get stronger, and manage your condition independently, rather than relying on endless passive treatments.
