Years of Supporting Local Families
At Anderson Family Chiropractic Health Centre in Mackay, we take a movement-focused approach to chiropractic care that considers more than just pain points. By assessing full-body function, including posture, joint mobility and muscle activation, we’re able to tailor each treatment plan to what your body needs today, not just what it needed in the past. Whether you’ve experienced a recent injury, spend long hours at a desk or are simply feeling out of alignment, we work to identify the root causes of discomfort or restriction.
We use a combination of manual adjustments, low-force techniques, muscle testing and rehabilitative advice to support your overall movement and mobility.

Personalised Treatment Grounded in Experience
Every person who visits our clinic receives a chiropractor care plan that reflects their individual presentation. We start with a thorough consultation, including health history, functional testing and orthopaedic screening. Based on that, we determine the most appropriate approach—whether that’s manual adjustments, activator techniques, muscle release, or low-force options such as block therapy. We may also include dry needling or massage therapy as part of an integrated care plan, depending on your comfort level and clinical indicators.
This comprehensive process means we’re not guessing or generalising—we’re working from clinical insight to guide each appointment. Our aim is to support your mobility, help prevent further dysfunction and promote awareness of how your body moves day to day.
What does a chiropractor do?
A chiropractor assesses and treats musculoskeletal issues, primarily focusing on the spine, joints and surrounding muscles. They use hands-on techniques—commonly referred to as adjustments—to improve mobility, reduce restriction or tension and support function. In many cases, chiropractic care also involves rehabilitation advice, posture correction and discussions around ergonomics or lifestyle. Treatments may vary depending on the chiropractor’s training, patient presentation and goals of care.
Is chiropractic treatment safe?
Chiropractic care is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified practitioner. Like any physical intervention, there can be risks depending on the individual’s health history or the techniques used. Prior to treatment, chiropractors perform detailed assessments and discuss any relevant health conditions, medications or concerns to ensure a safe and suitable approach. Most side effects are mild and short-term, such as soreness or fatigue after a session.
What conditions can a chiropractor help with?
Chiropractors often work with people experiencing back pain, neck discomfort, joint restriction, postural issues, headaches related to neck tension and muscular tightness. Some also provide support for repetitive strain injuries, sports-related dysfunction or general spinal maintenance. It’s important to note that while chiropractic care can support musculoskeletal health, it is not a cure for underlying disease or systemic conditions. A clear diagnosis and appropriate referral are part of any ethical practice.
How often should I see a chiropractor?
The frequency of chiropractor visits depends on your specific presentation, goals and how your body responds to treatment. Some people attend for short-term care following an injury, while others prefer occasional visits to maintain mobility and posture. Your chiropractor will usually recommend a review period to track changes and adjust your care plan if needed. It’s a collaborative decision based on both clinical findings and personal choice.
