Many Inner West locals visit Mend Chiropractic in Glebe because they're looking for help with pain, stiffness or reduced movement, or simply want to improve how their body functions.

Our approach considers the relationship between the spine, joints, muscles and nervous system. By working to improve movement, joint function and nervous system communication, we aim to support your body's ability to move well, adapt and recover.

Every person is different, so treatment is tailored to your individual needs. We commonly care for people experiencing:

• Back pain

• Neck pain

• Headaches and migraines

• Sciatica

• Shoulder pain

• Hip and pelvic pain

• Sports injuries

• Postural strain

• Desk-related aches and pains

• Pregnancy-related back and pelvic discomfort

• Jaw (TMJ) discomfort

• General stiffness and reduced mobility

If you're unsure whether chiropractic care is right for your condition, we're happy to discuss your symptoms and let you know whether we can help or whether another healthcare professional may be more appropriate.

Chiropractic care is personalised to your individual needs and may involve a combination of techniques that aim to help improve movement and function of your body.

Depending on your assessment and treatment goals, care may include manual chiropractic adjustments, gentle low-force techniques including Activator Methods, soft tissue release, mobility work and personalised exercises.

Not every treatment involves a “crack” or manual adjustment. Your chiropractor will explain the recommended approach and work with you to ensure you feel comfortable throughout your care.

At Mend Chiropractic in Glebe, Sydney’s Inner West, we take the time to understand your concerns and tailor treatment to your individual needs.

No referral is needed. You can book directly with us whether you’re coming for pain relief, posture support, or to improve your performance.

That said, we do accept Medicare GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP/EPC) referrals and we welcome eligible DVA patients with a GP referral.

Your first visit includes a thorough consultation, including a detailed health history and physical assessment. We’ll discuss what’s going on, explain our findings, and if appropriate, we may begin treatment.

If you’re unsure whether chiropractic care is suitable for your child, we’re always happy to chat and answer your questions so you feel confident and comfortable in your decision.
