The Chiropractic Co. Kilmore

Two chiropractors are listed at Kilmore. Dr Trish Meanger holds a Bachelor of Health Science and a Bachelor of Applied Science (Chiropractic), and her areas of interest include pregnancy, paediatric and family care as well as myofascial dry needling. She describes her style as combining manual adjustments with soft tissue therapy and rehabilitation techniques, and she has long used pilates and yoga in her own life. Dr Sal Yusuf holds the same degrees and also consults at the group's Plenty clinic. He has been a chiropractor for nearly a decade, working in communities across Victoria and Queensland, takes an evidence-based approach to care and values the welcoming nature of regional practice.

A first visit begins with a health history, a chiropractic examination and a postural evaluation, which can include posture screening, bilateral weight scaling, and orthopaedic and neurological testing. For patients who would rather not be manually adjusted, the team is trained in low-force options such as Activator Methods and drop-piece adjustments. New patients can take up the clinic's $79 new patient offer, which the group values at $200, and no GP referral is needed to book.

On fees, the practice notes that most private health funds provide some cover for chiropractic care, and that a Medicare card can be used where a GP has arranged a referred care plan, for up to five covered sessions a year. Appointments can be booked online, with the booking system kept up to date with availability for all of the clinic's chiropractors.
