If you are seeing the chiropractor, please bring any previous reports, results, images, x-rays and scans relating to your condition or for your nerves / joints / bones.

It can help the chiropractor for examination and adjustments if you wear or bring clothes to change into: shorts for males; or gym type lycra bra top and shorts for females; or leggings and singlet for females. Ask your chiropractor if it helps to bring the clothing to your following appointments. The chiropractor can still work on you if you don't have or don't bring these clothes.

The Initial chiropractic consultation is usually a minimum of 30 minutes for history taking, examination and diagnosis. Chiropractic treatment is usually included in the initial consultation. It may reach to 45 or 60 minutes if treatment is appropriate on the day. Further investigations such as x-rays may be necessary before treatment can be given and if your condition is not suitable for chiropractic care we will refer you to an appropriate place such as the emergency department.

You can choose to have a half and hour, one hour or one and a half hour remedial massage. Half an hour is usually enough time to work on one area such as head and neck or both legs. One hour gives enough time to thoroughly work all the major areas and target the most needed parts. One and a half hours gives the chance to massage all areas that the remedial massage therapist sees is appropriate for your condition and to also maximise your health with massage or even use the last half hour for relaxation massage to help reduce your stress level.

We operate on the guidelines recommended by the Australian Chiropractors' Association (ACA). We have short appointments up to 15 minutes, regular appointments up to 20 minutes and sometimes are 30 minutes when needed.

No, our chiropractor refers to a quality reporting x-ray service in Newtown that bulk bills. OSHC clients might pay a small 10-20% gap and if that is a concern then there might be other locations that bulk bill OSHC clients.

We have a professional, fully qualified and certified remedial massage therapist. She provides remedial massage therapy, myofascial release massage therapy, sports massage, relaxation massage, deep tissue massage, pregnancy massage, Swedish massage and lymphatic drainage massage therapy. For the best massage therapy in Sydney University clinic, let our remedial massage therapist know the result you want from your massage and preferably have a little time after when you can relax and enjoy the effectiveness of the massage.

We are grateful that you choose to entrust your health with us.

If you want to book online, please use the button links below. If you would like to call to book then please call us on (02) 9351 8099.

We understand that things change and so we provide you with online bookings, email and phone access to change your appointments. Usually we can fill vacancies for our practitioners with enough notice as people waiting to take a cancellation spot can organise themselves to come in with enough notice. However, it is hard to replace a booking within 24hours of the appointment so we have a 50% cancellation fee in that instance except for exceptional circumstances or if you or we can refill your appointment with somebody else. This is to be fair to our practitioners who have reserved that spot just for you.

We have a range of fees that are specific to the type of care you need, bear in mind most people need a series of visit so individual prices are not very helpful to work out the value of services.

Being inside the University of Sydney means we have always focused on delivering quality, high value and effective care.
