Chiropractic Care In Boronia
Personalised, evidence-based care to support how your body moves, functions, and adapts.
Chiropractic care is centred on understanding how well your body is functioning as a whole. When joints, muscles, and the nervous system are not working optimally, it can contribute to pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, or a general sense that your body is not coping as well as it should.
At Bergamo Chiropractic and Nutrition Centre, chiropractic care is delivered with time, attention, and respect for your individual circumstances. For over 25 years, we have supported individuals and families in Boronia and the wider Knox community with thoughtful, evidence-based care that prioritises listening and long-term wellbeing rather than quick fixes.
What chiropractic care may help with
Chiropractic care may be helpful for people experiencing a range of musculoskeletal concerns that affect daily life, work, or recreation. This includes, but is not limited to:
Back pain and lower back discomfort
Neck pain and stiffness
Headaches and migraines
Joint pain affecting the shoulders, hips, or knees
Postural strain related to work or lifestyle
General aches, stiffness, or reduced movement
Every person presents differently, and care is always tailored to your individual needs, goals, and health history.
What to expect during your appointment
During a chiropractic appointment at BCNC, you can expect a calm and professional environment where your concerns are listened to and respected.
Appointments may include a detailed case history, physical assessment, hands-on chiropractic techniques suited to your needs, and practical advice where appropriate. We aim to ensure you leave feeling informed, supported, and clear about the next steps in your care.
One of the strengths of Bergamo Chiropractic and Nutrition Centre is our multidisciplinary approach. Chiropractic care is delivered alongside other natural health services within the clinic, allowing for collaboration when it may be beneficial.
Where appropriate, your care may be supported by coordination with our remedial massage therapists or dietitians, and in the future, physiotherapy and Chinese medicine practitioners. This integrated approach allows us to support your overall health and wellbeing in a considered and connected way.
Our approach to chiropractic care
At BCNC, chiropractic care is never rushed or generic. We take the time to understand how your body is functioning, not just where symptoms are showing up.
Your care begins with a thorough discussion of your health concerns, followed by an appropriate physical and functional assessment. From there, care is tailored to suit your presentation, comfort, and preferences. Techniques are selected carefully and explained clearly, so you understand the purpose of care and feel confident in the process.
Our focus is on supporting your body’s ability to move and function well over time, while providing guidance that empowers you to take an active role in your health.
Frequently Asked Questions

Chiropractic care is a regulated health profession in Australia. At BCNC, care is provided following a thorough assessment and is tailored to each individual’s presentation and needs.
A New Zealand study showed Chiropractic care to be ‘Remarkably’ safe.
The New Zealand Government published an objective study of chiropractic. Many issues were studied, including cost effectiveness, chiropractic education and training, safety issues, and patient satisfaction.
Among other things, the resulting 377 page document concluded that chiropractic would have a positive influence on the health of a country.
The commission investigated two safety issues that had been commonly raised by chiropractic critics. The first being the safety of chiropractic spinal adjustments, and the second, the notion that seeking chiropractic care delays medical treatment. After extensive inquiry, the researchers found both safety concerns to be unfounded. Because of the lack of evidence to the contrary, the commissioners determined chiropractic care to be remarkably safe.

The rebate varies with different funds and the level of your extras cover. We recommend you speak to your health insurance provider if you want to determine your actual gap payment.
The centre also works with GPs with the Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDM). The new medicare allied health item means for suitable patients they would have a rebate of $53.80 for up to five consultations, depending on what is allocated by your GP.This medicare benefit only applies for complex, chronic spinal cases.
