What is Chiropractic care?
Chiropractic is a form of allied health care that focuses on how the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system interact. It is often associated with spinal adjustments, but modern chiropractic care can also include joint mobilisation, soft tissue techniques, movement retraining, and posture education.
At Southside Clinic, our chiropractors take a practical, evidence-based approach. Instead of a one-size-fits-all method, we look at how different parts of the body may contribute to your concern and choose techniques that best support your comfort and goals.
For some people, this may mean gentle spinal mobilisation; for others, it may involve exercise and advice to improve strength and posture. The aim is to help you move with more ease and confidence in your day-to-day life.
What Chiropractic Care Helps With
Most people don’t think much about their spine, posture, or joints until they start to feel stiff or uncomfortable. That’s often when they walk through our doors in Unley. While every person’s situation is different, there are some common reasons people choose chiropractic care:
Back and neck discomfort – from long hours at a desk, lifting, or everyday strain
Postural issues – supporting better alignment and reducing stiffness
Headaches linked with muscle or joint tension
Sporting and overuse injuries – from active lifestyles or repetitive tasks
Pregnancy-related changes – easing the physical stress of carrying and recovery
Everyday mobility concerns – stiffness, imbalance, or difficulty with movement
People across Adelaide choose chiropractic care for these reasons because it combines hands-on techniques, posture support, and movement advice — aiming to improve mobility, comfort, and day-to-day function.

Chiropractors vs Other Professions
One of the most common questions we hear is: “What’s the difference between a chiropractor, a physio, and an osteo?” The truth is, there’s plenty of overlap but each profession brings its own style and focus.
Chiropractors often start with the spine, joints, and posture, looking at how these influence the way your body moves and feels.
Physiotherapists are known for structured exercise programs and rehab, helping people build strength, restore movement, and prevent re-injury.
Osteopaths tend to take a whole-body view, considering how posture, muscles, and daily habits connect and using a variety of hands-on techniques.
Exercise physiologists specialise in exercise prescription to manage chronic health conditions and build long-term physical capacity.
The best part? At Southside Clinic in Unley, you don’t have to choose just one approach. Our chiropractors work side by side with physios, osteos, and exercise physiologists, so you can benefit from a team that brings different perspectives — all focused on helping you move and feel your best.

Chiropractic Care FAQs
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
No referral is needed. You can book directly, although Medicare rebates under a GP care plan may require a referral.
Will I always get “cracking” with chiropractic care?
Not necessarily. While spinal adjustments are one option, our chiropractors also use mobilisation, soft tissue work, and exercise advice. Techniques are always discussed with you first and only used if appropriate and with your consent.
Is chiropractic safe for everyone?
Chiropractic care is tailored to the individual. Your chiropractor will take a full history and assessment before recommending any techniques, and if something isn’t suitable, we’ll discuss alternative options.
Can chiropractic work alongside physiotherapy or osteopathy?
Yes. Many people benefit from combining different approaches. At Southside Clinic, our chiropractors work closely with physiotherapists, osteopaths, and exercise physiologists to provide well-rounded care.
