Chiropractic on Collins - Dr. Liesel Gardener

The clinical team comprises three chiropractors: Dr Tim O'Connor, Dr Liesel Gardener, and Dr Inica Castle. Each practitioner holds registration as a chiropractor and contributes professional expertise to the practice, working with patients presenting with various musculoskeletal concerns and spinal health needs.

The practice offers treatment utilising several distinct adjusting techniques, including Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), Activator Protocol, Manual adjustments, Neuro-Impulse Protocol (NIP), Diversified, and Drop-piece adjusting. This diverse range of methods allows the practitioners to accommodate different patient preferences and clinical presentations without employing a one-size-fits-all approach.

Consultation fees are structured to accommodate various patient categories. A new patient consultation costs $120, with the report of findings on the second visit priced at $85. Regular adjustment appointments are $70. Concession rates of $65 apply for holders of Centrelink Health Care Cards, Pension or Seniors cards, while students pay $61 and children under 18 years are charged $57. Patients returning after an absence of 12 months or more require a re-examination priced at $80. The clinic facilitates payment through HICAPS for on-the-spot private health insurance claiming, Tyro terminals, and standard private health rebates. Department of Veterans' Affairs patients incur no out-of-pocket expenses when attending with an appropriate GP referral.
