No, not everyone that comes to Chirolife Hobart will need X-rays. In some circumstances, X-rays are clinically indicated, particularly if you’ve experienced a recent injury or physical trauma, or are showing signs of a degenerative neurological or structural condition. In these circumstances, X-rays are typically taken on site at the time of your consultation.

As Chiropractors in Hobart, we offer a range of treatments including physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, chiropractic adjustments, Spinal Decompression Therapy, and K-Laser Treatment.
Chiropractic care focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders, especially those related to the spine. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal adjustments and other manual techniques to improve alignment and restore proper function to the nervous system.
K-Laser Therapy is a drug free pain management solution that works by increasing the ATP (cellular energy) levels within the body using bio-stimulation - meaning you can get back to doing things you love to sooner.
The Chirolife Hobart Chiropractic team have found success using K-Laser to treat conditions such as Crohn’s disease, post knee reconstructions, arthritis, frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis, lower back pain, headaches and sports injuries.
Visit our services page to learn more about K-Laser Therapy In Hobart and how it differs from other laser therapies.
Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-surgical, drug-free treatment method beneficial for treating back and neck pain. A decompression treatment slowly and gently lengthens and releases pressure in the spine through repetitive movements.

Chiropractic adjustments, or spinal manipulations, are techniques used by chiropractors to correct postural imbalances and address back pain problems. During this procedure, a chiropractor uses their hands or a small instrument to apply a controlled force to a spinal joint. The goal is to improve spinal motion, reduce nerve irritability, and enhance the body's physical function. Read more here to understand the process of chiropractic adjustment.
Every person and every condition is different. Our goal is to find the most effective and efficient solution for you that will meet the goals you set. How often you choose to come is always up to you, and no matter how long it’s been between visits, you are always welcome at our practice.
Spinal Joint Dysfunction (OrSubluxation -”Sub-lux-ay-shun”) refers to common signs and symptoms that indicate potential issues with the spinal joints. Spinal joints that become jammed, locked-up, or lose their normal motion, termed spinal joint dysfunction or vertebral subluxation, can effect the function of the spine and nervous system.
