What people from Auchenflower come in with

Auchenflower has a lot of people on their feet for long stretches and a lot of people at a desk for long stretches, and the two produce different complaints.

Lower back pain is the most common reason people book in, usually something that has been grumbling for weeks rather than a single dramatic event. Neck pain and stiffness comes a close second, particularly the ache between the neck and shoulder blade that is barely there in the morning and thoroughly there by mid-afternoon. Headaches that begin at the base of the skull, rather than across the forehead, are worth mentioning because they often sit alongside a neck that already feels restricted.

Beyond that: pain travelling into the buttock or down the leg, sometimes with pins and needles, which most people call sciatica; and mid back and shoulder tension that keeps returning. All of these are musculoskeletal presentations, and what is appropriate for yours is established at an assessment rather than in advance. There is more detail on lower back pain, neck pain and headaches if you would rather read first.

Appointments around long shifts

Plenty of people in Auchenflower work hours that do not line up with a standard nine to five, whether that is a hospital roster, an early start in the city or a long day on the tools. SpinePass opens at 7am on Tuesday and Friday, runs until 7pm on Monday and Thursday, and has Saturday morning appointments, so there is usually a time that works either side of a shift.

Bookings are made online in a couple of minutes, and you can see every available time before you choose one.

Health funds, Medicare and DVA

SpinePass is HICAPS-enabled, so if your extras cover includes chiropractic you can claim at the clinic on the day. For members, rebates are credited against the next monthly payment. If your GP has set up a chronic disease management plan, or you hold a DVA Gold Card with a referral, visits can be bulk billed through Medicare or DVA.
