FAQs
Q: What does a chiropractor actually do?
A chiropractor diagnoses and treats problems in your muscles, joints, and spine – mostly back pain, neck pain, headaches, and posture issues. At Dynamic Chiropractic we use spinal adjustments, soft tissue work, dry needling, and specific exercises depending on what you actually need. The goal is to figure out why you’re in pain, not just manage it.
Q: Is chiropractic treatment painful?
Honestly, most people are surprised how gentle it is. Adjustments rarely hurt – a lot of patients describe them as a relief. Soft tissue work can be a bit uncomfortable if a muscle has been tight for a long time, but we don’t push past what you can handle. If you’re nervous, just say so.
Q: How much does a chiropractic appointment cost at Dynamic Chiropractic?
New patients pay $98 for a 30-minute consultation plus treatment. Follow-ups are $69. If you have extras cover, you claim on the spot via HICAPS – most Medibank or BUPA members on a standard policy end up paying somewhere between $15 and $60 out of pocket once the rebate comes off.
Q: Do you accept private health insurance?
Yes. HICAPS is set up at our counter, so you swipe your health fund card after your appointment and the rebate comes off automatically. We’re registered with all the major funds: Medibank, BUPA, HCF, NIB, and others.
Q: What happens at my first appointment?
Your first visit is 30 minutes. We take a health history, look at how you’re moving, and work out what’s actually going on. Then we treat – same appointment, no separate assessment-only visit. By the time you leave, you’ll know what we found and what we think it’ll take to fix it.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
Depends entirely on what’s going on. Most people with garden-variety back or neck pain feel a real difference within 3–6 sessions. If it’s been going on for years or there’s something more complex underneath, it takes longer. We’ll give you a straight answer at your first visit – not a vague “let’s see how it goes.”
Q: Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
No referral needed. Just book online or call 07 2111 6390. If your GP has put you on a care plan, bring the paperwork.
Q: Where are you located?
Level 3, 214 Elizabeth Street – inside Embassy Chambers, Brisbane CBD. A few minutes’ walk from Brisbane Central station and Eagle Street Pier. Most of our patients pop in on a lunch break or before or after work.
Q: Who are the chiropractors at Dynamic Chiropractic?
Dr Miki Humphrey has been practicing for over 10 years. Beyond standard chiropractic, she has trained in craniosacral therapy, dry needling, neurokinetic therapy, active release technique, and jaw/TMJ work. Rob Simms-Reeve came from personal training before becoming a chiropractor – that background makes him especially useful if your pain is sport or gym-related.
Q: What conditions do you treat?
Back pain, neck pain, sciatica, disc problems, headaches, posture issues, sports injuries, hip pain, shoulder pain, jaw and TMJ issues. If you’re not sure whether chiropractic is the right fit, call us and we can discuss your case.
Q: Is chiropractic safe?
Yes. Chiropractic has a very strong safety record and serious complications are rare. Before we treat you we do a full assessment to check what’s appropriate for your situation. If something flags as unsuitable, we’ll tell you.
