Our chiropractors, Dr Samantha Teoh and Dr Timothy Porter, hold university chiropractic qualifications, maintain full AHPRA registration through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chiropracticboard.gov.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chiropractic Board of Australia<\/a>, and invest in continuing education every year so the care you receive reflects current research rather than habit.<\/p>\n      <p>Every new patient starts with a thorough history and physical examination. We explain what we find in plain language, outline the techniques we recommend and why, and agree on a plan together before any adjustment happens. Dr Teoh is also a qualified pharmacist, which means your medications and their contraindications are considered when your plan is written. That double qualification is rare in Australian chiropractic and it shapes how carefully we work.<\/p>\n      <p>Chiropractic sits alongside <a href=\"\/massage-canberra\/\">remedial massage in Canberra<\/a> under the same roof, so muscle work and joint care can be coordinated in one place. And if your condition is not chiropractic, we say so and refer you to the right practitioner. That honesty has kept patients returning for over fifty years.<\/p>\n      <h3>What evidence-based actually means on the table<\/h3>\n      <p>It means three practical things. First, techniques are chosen from current published research, and methods without support are left out of your plan no matter how traditional they are. Second, your progress is measured against the goals we set together at the start, so the plan changes when your body does rather than rolling on by default. Third, we tell you the honest timeframe. Some problems settle in a handful of visits, others need longer management, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.<\/p>\n      <p>You will notice the difference in small moments: an examination that tests movement rather than assuming it, an explanation that uses your scans and history rather than a laminated diagram, and a review appointment where discharge is a genuine option. This is the standard of chiropractic Canberra families have relied on at this address since before some of our current patients were born.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <figure class=\"fig\">\n      <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stagingloom.com\/wcc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/adjusting-patient1.jpg\" alt=\"Dr Samantha Teoh delivering evidence-based chiropractic care to a patient in Canberra\" width=\"425\" height=\"425\" loading=\"lazy\">\n    <\/figure>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<!-- who we welcome -->\n<section class=\"sec alt\">\n  <div class=\"wrap\">\n    <div class=\"ctr\">\n    <span class=\"eyebrow\">All ages, all walks of life<\/span>\n    <h2>Who We Welcome at Weston Creek Chiropractic Centre<\/h2>\n    <p style=\"max-width:70ch\">Our practice looks after Canberra bodies at every stage of life. The reception area has a kids corner, the adjusting rooms have gentle low-force options, and the diary has early, lunchtime and Saturday slots so that care fits around work and school runs. These are the people who walk through our door most often.<\/p>\n    <p style=\"max-width:70ch\">Welcoming everyone is a design decision, not a slogan. It shapes which techniques we trained in, how long we allow for first visits, and why the same practitioner who adjusts a front rower on Friday can comfortably treat her grandmother on Saturday.

A parent's desk-strain neck, a teenager's sports niggle and a grandparent's balance worries can all be looked after inside a single trusted relationship, with notes that travel between practitioners rather than between suburbs.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<!-- doctors -->\n<section class=\"sec\">\n  <div class=\"wrap\">\n    <div class=\"ctr\">\n    <span class=\"eyebrow\">Your practitioners<\/span>\n    <h2>Meet Our Caring Canberra Chiropractors<\/h2>\n    <p style=\"max-width:70ch\">Two chiropractors, two complementary approaches, one shared standard of care.

We offer it because it achieves the goals of an adjustment with far less force, which many patients find more comfortable.<\/p>\n          <p>We are one of only two practices in Canberra offering <a href=\"\/activator-methods\/\">Activator Methods adjusting<\/a>. Some patients love traditional manual adjustments; others find them too firm for their liking. The Activator instrument gives those patients a genuine alternative rather than a compromise. It suits seniors, pregnant patients, anyone nervous about neck adjusting and anyone who simply prefers a lighter touch. Your preference always guides the method we use, and you can switch between approaches at any visit.<\/p>\n          <p>The sensation surprises most first-timers. The instrument rests against the skin, there is a quick tap no stronger than a firm finger press, and the adjustment is done before your muscles have time to guard. There is no wind-up, no rotation of the neck and no cracking sound. Because the force is set by the instrument rather than by hand, it is the same at your thirtieth visit as at your first, which is a level of consistency manual work simply cannot promise.<\/p>\n          <a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/appts.au.visitbase.link\/ob\/p1n.php?h=wccc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Book a Gentle Adjustment<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"fig\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Activator Methods adjusting instrument used at our Canberra chiropractic clinic\"><\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<!-- services -->\n<section class=\"sec\">\n  <div class=\"wrap\">\n    <div class=\"ctr\">\n    <span class=\"eyebrow\">One clinic, coordinated care<\/span>\n    <h2>Our Services: Chiropractic, Massage and Allied Therapies<\/h2>\n    <p style=\"max-width:70ch\">Joint care, muscle therapy and supporting treatments work better when they are planned together.

A stubborn lower back might begin with an adjustment, continue with remedial massage to release the guarding muscles around it, and finish with myofascial release or a simple home exercise program so the improvement holds. A desk worker's tension might pair gentle neck care with dry needling from Colleen on the massage team.

Care always starts with an examination to confirm chiropractic is appropriate, and we refer on when it is not.<\/p>\n      <p>Most people arrive with one loud symptom and leave understanding the pattern behind it. A stiff morning back often traces to how you sit; recurring headaches often begin in the neck. Browse the full library of <a href=\"\/conditions\/\">conditions we help with<\/a>, or start with the concern that brought you here.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"cond-trio\">\n      <div class=\"ct\"><h3>Spinal and nerve pain<\/h3><p>Back pain, sciatica, disc injuries and pinched nerves make up the largest share of our casework. Assessment separates joint restriction from nerve involvement, because the two need different handling. Where nerve signs are present we examine more cautiously, adjust more gently and monitor more closely, and where red flags appear we refer for imaging before any treatment begins.<\/p><\/div>\n      <div class=\"ct\"><h3>Head, neck and posture<\/h3><p>Neck pain, cervicogenic headaches, whiplash and postural strain form the second group. Canberra's office-heavy workforce keeps this list busy. Care usually blends precise neck work, often with the low-force instrument, alongside soft tissue treatment and workstation changes that stop the problem regenerating every Monday morning.<\/p><\/div>\n      <div class=\"ct\"><h3>Movement, ageing and rest<\/h3><p>The third group is quieter: stiff hips and shoulders, muscle tension that never fully lets go, mobility that shrinks a little each year, and sleep disturbed by discomfort. These are managed with steady, unhurried care and honest reviews of progress at every stage, and they are often where patients report the biggest change in daily comfort.<\/p><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <p class=\"cond-final\">Whatever brought you here, the promise is identical: examine first, explain honestly, manage what chiropractic can help with and refer what it cannot.

Chiropractors often use adjustment techniques to focus on spinal alignment and its relationship to overall function.<\/p>\n          <p>Physiotherapists typically emphasise exercise programs and rehabilitation, while osteopaths work with the muscular and skeletal systems using various manual techniques. At our practice, we often collaborate with other healthcare providers when beneficial for patient outcomes.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/details>\n      <details class=\"faq\">\n        <summary>Should I try to adjust my neck or back?<span class=\"ic\"><\/span><\/summary>\n        <div class=\"ans\">\n          <p>No! We advise against self-adjustment as it may cause discomfort or injury. Professional chiropractic adjustments are precise movements requiring specific training, anatomy knowledge, and proper assessment. Our practitioners perform careful spinal alignment based on thorough examination and your individual needs.

The Activator Methods technique is backed by research and allows us to provide consistent, controlled adjustments. Many patients appreciate this technique for its precision and comfort.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/details>\n      <details class=\"faq\">\n        <summary>How do you ensure patient well-being during care?<span class=\"ic\"><\/span><\/summary>\n        <div class=\"ans\">\n          <p>Your wellbeing is our priority.

The visit opens with a conversation about your history, your symptoms and what you want back, whether that is pain-free sleep or a return to Saturday sport. A physical examination follows, testing movement, strength and the joints involved. Your chiropractor then explains the findings in plain language and outlines a recommended plan, including how many visits to expect and what each will cost. Treatment on the first day depends on what the examination shows; sometimes care starts immediately, sometimes a further check is the wiser move. Either way, you leave knowing exactly what is happening and why.<\/p>\n      <h3>Health funds, DVA and simple payments<\/h3>\n      <p>Bring your private health card and your rebate is claimed through the HICAPS terminal before you reach the door.
