Ravenhall · Musculoskeletal Care
We're not a chiropractic practice, we're an allied health clinic. Our AHPRA-registered osteopath and myotherapists treat many of the same complaints people typically see a chiropractor for: back pain, neck pain, joint stiffness and headaches.
What We Actually Offer
If you searched for a chiropractor, it's probably because something hurts and you want someone hands-on to look at it. That's exactly what our osteopath and myotherapists do, assess the cause, treat it manually, and give you a plan to keep it from coming back.
We don't have a chiropractor on staff, so if chiropractic care specifically is what you're after, this isn't that. But most people searching for a chiropractor are looking for someone to sort out back pain, neck pain, stiffness or headaches, and that's squarely what we treat every day at Ravenhall.
Why It Keeps Coming Back
Persistent neck and back pain is very often linked to reduced strength and conditioning in the muscles supporting the spine, shoulders and hips. Treatment can settle the symptoms, but if that underlying strength deficit isn't addressed at the same time, the same pain often comes back.
It's why our approach at Ravenhall combines hands-on treatment with structured strength work in the same building. Osteopathy and myotherapy address the pain, and our rehab gym builds the strength and conditioning that helps keep it away, rather than treating the two as separate problems.
This is general information, not personal advice. Your osteopath or myotherapist will confirm what's relevant to your specific presentation at your assessment.
Chiropractor vs Osteopath
Chiropractors and osteopaths are both AHPRA-regulated allied health professions that use hands-on assessment and treatment for musculoskeletal pain. The main difference is training pathway and registration board, chiropractors register with the Chiropractic Board of Australia, osteopaths with the Osteopathy Board of Australia.
At Ravenhall, treatment with our osteopathy and myotherapy team also connects directly into our on-site rehab gym, so if ongoing strength and conditioning work is part of your recovery, it happens with the same team in the same building rather than a separate referral elsewhere.
Common Complaints
No. We're an allied health clinic at Ravenhall offering osteopathy and myotherapy under one roof. We don't have a chiropractor on staff, but our osteopath and myotherapists treat many of the same complaints people commonly see a chiropractor for, including back pain, neck pain, joint stiffness and headaches.
Both are AHPRA-regulated professions that use hands-on techniques to assess and treat musculoskeletal pain, the main difference is training pathway and registration board (osteopaths register with the Osteopathy Board of Australia). At Ravenhall, our osteopathy and myotherapy sessions also connect directly into our rehab gym in the same building, so ongoing strength work follows on from treatment rather than being a separate referral.
No referral is needed for a private appointment. If you're using a Medicare Chronic Disease Management plan, you'll need a GP referral. WorkCover and TAC clients also need a referral from their treating doctor.
