Frequently Asked Questions
Pascoe Vale Chiropractor
Welcome to our Frequently Asked Questions page. As your dedicated chiropractic clinic in Pascoe Vale, Align & Restore Chiropractic aims to provide clear, helpful answers to common questions about chiropractic care — how it works, safety, treatment timing, and benefits for all ages.
What do Chiropractors do?
Chiropractic care is a natural, drug-free approach to health that focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions, especially those involving the spine. At Align & Restore in Pascoe Vale, we use spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and corrective techniques to restore alignment, reduce pain, and improve overall function.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes — when performed by licensed, experienced practitioners, chiropractic care is generally safe. In our Pascoe Vale clinic, we do a full assessment before beginning treatment to ensure we use techniques suited to your body, medical history, and comfort. For specific concerns like pregnancy, children, or chronic conditions, we customise our approach.
Do chiropractic adjustments hurt?
Most patients feel little to no pain during adjustments. Some mild pressure or soreness may occur afterward, especially on early visits, but this usually dissipates quickly. If anything feels uncomfortable, let us know — we’ll adjust the technique (e.g. use Activator or gentler methods) to suit you.
How often will I need to visit the chiropractor?
The frequency depends on your condition, goals, and how your body responds. Early treatment may require more frequent visits, then sessions taper off as improvement stabilises. At Align & Restore Pascoe Vale, we’ll provide a personalised care plan with clear guidance over time.

How does chiropractic care work?
Adjustments target misalignments (often called “subluxations”) in the spine. These can interfere with nerve communication and muscle function. By restoring proper alignment through safe techniques, we help your nervous system, reduce pain, and support your body’s ability to heal itself.
Can children and seniors benefit from chiropractic care?
Absolutely. We use gentle, age-appropriate techniques for babies, children, adults, and seniors. For children, care may support posture, development, and mobility. For seniors, it can help with joint health, balance, and mobility.
How long does it take to see results from chiropractic care?
Results vary — some people feel improvement after the first visit, while others need several sessions over weeks or months. Factors like how long the issue’s existed, overall health, and how faithfully you follow home exercises all influence the timeline.
Is chiropractic care covered by insurance?
Many health funds in Australia include chiropractic. Coverage depends on your plan and provider. We recommend checking with your insurer and we’ll help verify what your plan covers before starting treatment.
