Chiropractic Care Designed Around You
At Align Health Co, our chiropractors take a considered, evidence-based approach to care. We focus on understanding how your body is moving, what may be contributing to your symptoms, and how best to support you through appropriate treatment options.
Care is always individualised. Depending on your presentation, treatment may include chiropractic techniques, dry needling, soft-tissue therapy, and exercise rehabilitation. We take the time to explain our findings and discuss options, so you feel informed and comfortable at every stage.
Rather than applying the same approach to everyone, we tailor care to your needs, preferences, and goals. This includes offering gentle techniques and alternatives for people who prefer not to be adjusted.
Our aim is to support better movement, function, and confidence in day-to-day life through thoughtful, personalised chiropractic care.
Common reasons people see our chiropractors
People visit Align Health Co for a wide range of movement-related concerns. While every person is assessed individually, some of the more common reasons people seek chiropractic care at our Mackay clinic include:
- Back pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility
- Neck pain or postural discomfort
- Headaches or migraines associated with musculoskeletal tension
- Work-related or sports injuries
- Shoulder, hip, or joint discomfort
- Ongoing muscle tightness or movement restriction
- Difficulty returning to activity after injury
We also regularly see people who:
- Prefer a tailored approach rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment
- Want clear explanations and options before starting care
- Have tried other approaches and are looking for a different perspective
If you’re unsure whether chiropractic care is appropriate for your situation, our team is happy to talk things through and guide you to your next step.
Dry needling as part of your chiropractic care
Dry needling is one of the techniques our chiropractors may use as part of a broader treatment plan. It involves the use of fine, sterile needles applied to specific areas of muscle, with the aim of addressing muscle tension and supporting movement.
At Align Health Co, dry needling is always used following a thorough assessment and is combined with other chiropractic and rehabilitation approaches where appropriate. It is not applied routinely and may not be suitable for everyone.
This approach allows care to be tailored to the individual, particularly in cases where muscular tension or restricted movement may be contributing to discomfort. As with all treatment options, dry needling is discussed in advance so you can make informed decisions about your care.
If you’re curious about whether dry needling may be appropriate for your situation, our team is happy to explain how it fits into your overall care plan.
