Pregnancy places demands on the spine, pelvis and surrounding structures. We're careful about how we care for pregnant patients - modified techniques, pregnancy-adjusted equipment, and a slower, gentler pace.
Postnatal care
The postnatal period places different demands on the body - feeding positions, carrying baby, disrupted sleep, changing biomechanics. We provide chiropractic care that fits into new-parent life.
Pediatric care
A gentle, age-appropriate approach. Our practitioners have cared for kids in Brisbane south for over 20 years. We take our time, we don't rush, and we're transparent about what we can and can't offer.
Bupa Member First advantage
Corrective is one of the few Brisbane south chiropractic clinics with Bupa Member First status - which means a preferred rebate arrangement for Bupa members. Combined with Medicare Allied Health cover, TYRO on-the-spot claiming, and DVA + WorkCover acceptance, most families are covered from multiple angles.

Family FAQ
Chiropractic care during pregnancy uses modified techniques and pregnancy-adjusted equipment. As with any care during pregnancy, we take a careful, gentle approach and coordinate with your GP or midwife where helpful. We're upfront if we don't think chiropractic care is the right fit during your pregnancy.
Yes - please do. Our clinic is set up to welcome families. Bringing bub or toddler to your own appointment is common and welcome.
Yes, with a very gentle, age-appropriate approach. As with all pediatric care, we take time to explain what we're doing and only proceed when both practitioner and parent are comfortable.
Similar to an adult first visit but paced for kids. We take a full history from you as the parent, do an age-appropriate assessment, and discuss what we've found. If we decide a care plan is appropriate, we discuss it clearly - no pressure.
For Bupa members - typically yes. The exact amount depends on your policy tier and cover. TYRO settles your rebate on the spot so you can see what you actually pay.

Answered by Dr Mark Whitfield from real patient visits at the Calamvale clinic.
Yes. Technique is matched to the patient. For older adults we typically use an activator or gentle mobilisation rather than high-force manual adjustments. We also screen for fracture risk before adjusting after any fall.
An activator is a small spring-loaded instrument that delivers a very light mechanical impulse directly into a joint. We use it for older patients, children, babies, and anyone who prefers not to have manual rotation of the neck. It is one of several technique options we select from based on the patient.
Maintenance care is less frequent (typically monthly or every few weeks) and focuses on keeping joints moving, catching tightness early, and slowing age-related change. It is not treating a specific pain, it is prevention and function support.
Chiropractic cannot reverse degenerative change. It can keep the surrounding joints moving, ease symptoms, and support function. Regular maintenance care is often how long-term patients manage degenerative wear.
