Chiropractors are registered health practitioners who focus on the musculoskeletal system — the muscles, joints and connective tissue of the spine and limbs. When you see a chiropractor about posture or ergonomics, care usually begins with an assessment rather than any hands-on technique.
A postural assessment often includes a discussion of your daily routine, your work setup, how long you sit or stand, and any discomfort you've noticed. The practitioner may observe how you stand, sit and move, check the range of motion in your spine and joints, and carry out some simple physical tests. This helps them understand your individual situation and whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you or whether you should be referred elsewhere.
If hands-on care is offered, common techniques include manual adjustment (a controlled movement applied to a joint), mobilisation (gentler, rhythmic movement of a joint), and soft-tissue work such as massage or stretching applied to muscles. Practitioners may also provide ergonomic advice — for example, suggestions about chair and monitor height, keyboard position, breaks and movement during the day — along with exercises or stretches you can do yourself. These techniques are described here neutrally; results vary between individuals, and no particular outcome can be guaranteed.
A first appointment is usually longer than follow-up visits because it includes the history and assessment described above. Expect to answer questions about your health background, describe your concerns, and take part in a physical examination. The chiropractor should explain what they've found in plain language and outline any care they propose, including how many visits they suggest and why.
You're entitled to ask questions, take time to decide, and seek a second opinion. A clear, reasonable explanation — rather than a long, fixed plan pushed on you at the first visit — is a good sign. If anything about your situation suggests you should see another practitioner or your GP, a good chiropractor will tell you.
Fees vary between clinics, so treat the following as a general guide only and confirm costs directly before booking. In Australia, an initial chiropractic consultation commonly ranges from around $70 to $130, reflecting the extra time involved. Standard follow-up visits often sit between roughly $50 and $90.
Many private health funds include chiropractic care under "extras" cover, which may reduce your out-of-pocket cost — check your policy for annual limits and rebates. In some cases, a GP may include chiropractic care in a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan, which can allow a limited number of Medicare-subsidised visits. This requires a referral from your GP and applies only to eligible chronic conditions, so ask your GP whether you qualify.

No, you can book directly without a referral. However, if you have a chronic condition, your GP may be able to include chiropractic care in a Chronic Disease Management plan, which requires a referral and may allow some Medicare-subsidised visits.
