OUR SERVICES

A FOCUS ON EDUCATION

Robina chiropractor Dr Laura Priestley and Dr Scott Vatcher are delighted to serve patients on the beautiful Gold Coast! We want to be able to educate as many families as possible back to a state of optimal health through natural chiropractic care.

An intense focus on education is one of the aspects that makes our practice stand apart. Why the emphasis? "I felt like a lot of people would come into a chiropractor, and whether they had headaches or back pain, or their digestive system wasn't working well, or they had low energy, a lot of these individuals didn't understand what was actually going on with their bodies and what the root cause of their symptoms was," said Laura.

At our practice, we want to provide more than just symptom relief. Our skilled chiropractors explain to patients how to prevent symptoms from recurring and how to perform at their best.

Our goal is to educate our patients to live healthier lives long-term rather than just to get on top of their crisis.

EXPERIENCE NATURAL RELIEF

Chiropractic care helps the nervous system function optimally. When that happens, many people experience relief from headaches, back and neck pain, and other common symptoms such as digestive dysfunction, balance issues, improved posture, and more.

We want our patients to know that chiropractic care provides more than pain relief; it can also help their bodies perform at their best and heal naturally..

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How can chiropractic care help with general wellness?

Chiropractic care is not just for treating pain or specific conditions; it also plays a vital role in overall wellness. Regular chiropractic adjustments help maintain proper spinal alignment, which is essential for optimal nervous system function. Benefits include:

Improved posture: Enhancing alignment can reduce strain on your muscles and joints.
Increased mobility: Keeping your spine and joints flexible improves your overall movement and reduces the risk of injury.
Enhanced energy levels: A well-functioning nervous system helps your body operate more efficiently, leading to better energy and vitality.
Stress reduction: Chiropractic care can help reduce tension and promote relaxation, contributing to overall mental and physical well-being.

Many patients report feeling more balanced, energetic, and less stressed with regular chiropractic care.

What can I do to maintain my results between chiropractic visits?

To maintain the benefits of your chiropractic care between visits, consider these healthy practices:

Stay active: Engage in regular physical activity, including stretching and strengthening exercises, to keep your body moving and support spinal health.
Practice good posture: Be mindful of your posture, especially when sitting for long periods. Use ergonomic furniture and take breaks to stand and stretch.
Follow your chiropractor's recommendations: Adhere to any specific exercises or lifestyle adjustments suggested by your chiropractor.
Maintain a healthy diet: Proper nutrition supports overall health and well-being, contributing to better recovery and function.
Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps keep your joints and tissues healthy.

By integrating these habits into your daily routine, you can enhance the effectiveness of your chiropractic care and enjoy long-term health benefits.

How often should my family visit the chiropractor?

The frequency of chiropractic visits can vary depending on individual needs and health goals. Generally, we recommend:

For pregnant women: Regular visits throughout pregnancy can help manage discomfort and prepare for childbirth. Frequency may increase in the third trimester.
For babies and children: Initial visits may be more frequent to address specific issues, then transition to maintenance care. Regular check-ups can support ongoing development and health.
For adults: Routine visits can help maintain spinal health, manage stress, and prevent injury. Frequency depends on lifestyle, activity levels, and individual health goals.

We customize our recommendations based on each family member's needs, ensuring they receive the best possible care for their overall well-being.

How does chiropractic care benefit pregnant women?

Chiropractic care offers numerous benefits to pregnant women, including:

Relief from back and pelvic pain: Adjustments help alleviate the discomfort associated with the changing body dynamics during pregnancy.
Improved pelvic alignment: This can facilitate a smoother, more comfortable delivery process by ensuring the pelvis is properly aligned.
Enhanced overall well-being: Regular chiropractic care can reduce stress, improve sleep, and boost overall health during pregnancy.

Our chiropractors use specialized techniques like the Webster Method, which focuses on balancing the pelvis and optimizing the position of the baby, making pregnancy and childbirth more comfortable.

What conditions can chiropractic care address in children?

Chiropractic care can effectively address various conditions in children, including:

Colic and digestive issues: Gentle adjustments can help alleviate discomfort and promote better digestive function.
Ear infections: Chiropractic care can enhance immune function and improve drainage of the ears, reducing the frequency of infections.
Posture and alignment problems: Regular care can correct posture issues and support proper spinal development, especially important for growing children.
Behavioural and sleep issues: By improving nervous system function, chiropractic care can help children sleep better and feel more relaxed.

We provide a nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and receive gentle care tailored to their developmental stage
