Should I Consult My GP Before Seeing a Chiropractor?

Our Chiropractors are ready

It's a common belief that consulting a General Practitioner (GP) is necessary before visiting a Chiropractor. While GPs are integral to healthcare, Chiropractors are specialists in musculoskeletal health, particularly concerning the spine and nervous system. Our Adjusting to Health Chiropractors in Bonnyrigg and Doonside are competent in answering any questions you may have without a GP referral.


Chiropractors: Experts in Spinal Health

Chiropractors undergo extensive training to diagnose and manage conditions related to the spine, muscles, and nervous system. Our team conducts comprehensive spinal and neurological examinations to ensure we provide safe and effective care. This thorough assessment allows us to determine the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.


Direct Access to Chiropractic Care

In Australia, you have the right to consult a Chiropractor directly. This direct access means you can seek specialized care promptly, addressing issues like back pain, neck discomfort, or joint problems without unnecessary delays. By choosing Chiropractic care, you're opting for a proactive approach to your health, focusing on the root causes of discomfort rather than merely alleviating symptoms.


Collaborative Healthcare Approach

While a GP referral isn't required, collaboration between healthcare providers can be beneficial. At Adjusting to Health, we value open communication with your GP and other healthcare professionals to ensure a holistic approach to your well-being. This teamwork ensures that all aspects of your health are considered, providing you with comprehensive care.
