Chiropractor for St Lucia, minutes away in Toowong

St Lucia sits just across the river bend from Toowong, so SpinePass is one of the closest clinics going. Whether you're on campus at UQ, in one of the colleges, or in the quieter streets off Hawken Drive, the clinic is only a few minutes away.

Getting here from St Lucia

From St Lucia, SpinePass is a few minutes by car via Gailey Road into Toowong. On public transport, the CityCat from UQ St Lucia to Regatta puts you a short walk from the clinic, and buses run regularly between UQ and Toowong Village.

You'll find us at Suite 2A, 35 Woodstock Road, Toowong QLD 4066, with free street parking nearby.

Why St Lucia locals choose SpinePass

St Lucia is full of people who spend serious hours at a desk — students, academics and researchers at UQ, and professionals working from home along the river. Long study and screen hours put sustained load on the neck and back, and the traditional per-visit model makes regular care an unpredictable expense. A flat monthly fee is easier to plan around, whatever your week looks like.

Instead of paying per visit, SpinePass works on one flat monthly membership of $189 for an individual, with all clinically guided visits included. There are also Partner, Child and Family memberships for households where more than one person sees a chiropractor. See how the membership works.

What St Lucia and UQ locals come in with

Between the campus and the river, St Lucia sends us two fairly different groups.

The first is study and desk related. Neck pain and stiffness from long hours over a laptop, headaches that start at the base of the skull and arrive in the afternoon, and tension between the shoulder blades that never quite settles. Getting a screen to eye height changes more of this than most people expect.

The second is sport. Rowing, running and gym training all load the lower back, and lower back pain is the most common single reason people book in. Some of it refers into the buttock or down the leg, sometimes with numbness or pins and needles, which is what most people mean when they say sciatica. Whether it passes the knee is one of the more useful things to notice about it.

These are musculoskeletal presentations and an assessment establishes what is appropriate for yours. There is more on lower back pain, neck pain and headaches if you want to read first.

Fits around a UQ timetable

Early starts on Tuesday and Friday, evening appointments until 7pm on Monday and Thursday, and Saturday mornings, so appointments can fit around lectures, training or work.

SpinePass is HICAPS-enabled, so if you have private health extras cover you can claim at the clinic on the day. Students on a parent's policy can usually claim the same way.

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.
