Tony at Brisbane Chiropractic Centre is my regular chiropractor. Tony's incredibly good at what he…read moredoes - he knows which parts of your back or neck need adjustments almost instinctively and appointments are never uncomfortable or painful. It's a skill set that runs in his family; his father and grandfather established the business, and Tony had a natural knack for it despite wanting to become a marine biologist. That's one of the few fun facts you'll learn about Tony as you become a regular patient of his. He's a very friendly and funny guy and you'll be sharing stories in no time. If you're booked in for a chiropractic adjustment the appointment will go down like this. (Important to know because I've been to chiropractors before where I haven't needed to dress down.) 1. One of the girls at the desk will lead you into an adjustment room. You'll need to strip down to your underwear here. 2. You'll be massaged by one of the girls to loosen up your muscles so you adjust easier. 3. A heat lamp will be placed above your problem areas to soften the muscle further. 4. Let the adjustments begin! Tony's method of adjustment is very physical, so don't be alarmed if at some stage he is pushing his weight against you to align a specific part of your spine, or tugging on your legs to balance out your pelvis. (This is less suss than it sounds.) Follow the adjustment up with a swim and you'll feel revitalised for weeks to come.

I rocked up today with no expectations but was really impressed by Brett who runs this business from the Valley Pool. A great central Brisbane location. He took time to understand what pain relief I was looking to achieve and throughout the massage explained why I was feeling trigger sensations across my body and not just the area he was working on. He helped me understand the environmental issues that would have contributed to the pain I felt and gave me exercises to help me reduce muscle knots he discovered so that I would not undo the good he had manage to achieve. I would highly recommend Brett and he is an approved private heath care practitioneer so if you have additional heath care insurance you can claim back a percentage of Brett's fee.

I've only been to a few chiropractors in the US but Ian is the best chiropractor I've ever been to. I recommended him to several of my medical school classmates who have also found him really helpful. What I got from my first visit when I was having the worst radiating back pain and spasms I'd ever experienced was a thorough assessment of my pain and body mechanics (not rushed like some places I've been to), really good explanations of what the pathology is, some adjustments that immediately alleviated some of the pain, and some tips and exercises for what to do at home. I worked in a Physio department for several years before medical school. In my experience Ian is not only a skilled practitioner but he's a great guy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Having moved to Brisbane to be with my boyfriend (we're talking soulmate material here, full…read moresoaring soundtrack, wind-in-the-hair lovestory involving a massive move two states away) I had to find myself a chiropractor. I had experienced patchy spinal care throughout my life but nothing so amazing that I wanted to continue seeing any particular practitioner. That was until my partner recommended his chiropractor. He had been seeing him weekly for years and had nothing but great things to say about him. You see my man is a dentist. He's bending over looking into people's mouths all day every day, and as a result he requires constant spinal adjustment and care. There's little hope being in the job he's in, that he will be able to function well without ongoing treatment. I booked in to see Nic and the team upon my first recommendation and found the whole premise to be bright, clean and very professional with extremely up-beat and friendly staff. Nicholas Armitage is himself a consumate professional at what he does. From the initial consultation he kept me informed about what was happening with my spine and what kind of care would work best for me. His adjustments are fast and painless and I always walk out feeling more flexible and almost like "the lights have been switched back on". My sleep, standing, walking, exercising, breathing, menstrual pain, headaches and general sense of energy and wellbeing have all improved as a result of my regular treatments, Initially I was booked in the same as my partner, for weekly treatments. As my spine improved we were able to adjust my timetable to fortnightly visits. This is something that I love about Hawthorne Chiropractic - the emphasis on reducing the amount of treatment you need and actively working to Repair and Restore the spine throughout your journey. Now, having seen Nic and the girls for 6 years now I can say they are more than just the very best chiropractic practice I have ever had the pleasure of seeing, they are also firm friends. I would recommend them to anyone. Even if you have occasional pain or stress in any area of your body, Nic can help. Oh, and yes. I'm still madly in love with the man I moved to be with. :)

After several months of nag-, no, strike that, expressing concern to my husband regarding his back complaints (he, after all, does back-breaking work in the construction business), I was able to convince him to see a chiropractor instead of a Thai massage therapist. Okay, Thai massages feel AMAZING, but lets be real, I think being properly diagnosed and treated would be the way to go in getting optimized health and reducing back/spine issues. Anywho, back to Hawthorne Chiropractic: Dr Nicholas Armitage is the doc here. He is charismatic and have excellent bed-side manners. The office is family friendly, kids can play at the "kiddie corner" which is really just a small table with kids books and wooden toy trains and tracks - very cute. Dr. Armitage likes (and I appreciate) taking a through health history and X-rays to see what's going on in the body before making any actual adjustments. After a couple sessions (so far - it'll be an on-going plan), I am seeing some improvements in my husband's posture and in his over-all health.
