Chiropractic
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a unique, holistic therapy that provides a non-invasive, drug-free and non-surgical approach to musculoskeletal health. Chiropractors are proficient at diagnosing, managing and preventing dysfunction of the musculoskeletal and nervous system.
When should I see a Chiropractor?
Biomechanical problems usually occur through excessive stress on the body through physical trauma; falls, sports injuries, repetitive motions, lack of exercise and bad postural habits can affect spinal and nervous system health.
What training & qualifications does a chiropractor receive?
Chiropractors are required to adhere to strict and extensive educational requirements and standards to become registered health professionals in Australia. Australian chiropractors are five year university trained, and are government registered and regulated health professionals.
A chiropractor's education never ends. After entering practice, all chiropractors must complete continuing professional development courses and seminars to upgrade and improve their skills and to stay current on the latest scientific research.

Infant & Paediatric Chiropractic
At Secret Harbour Chiropractic, we take a neurodevelopmental approach to infant and paediatric chiropractic care, supporting babies and children through the different stages of growth and development. We recognise that every child is unique, so our care is tailored to their individual needs.
Our examination approach includes neuromusculoskeletal assessment, primitive reflex assessment and developmental milestone assessment, helping us understand how your child is moving, developing and interacting with their environment. Our chiropractors use gentle, age-appropriate chiropractic techniques and specific craniosacral therapy, with a focus on supporting healthy movement and nervous system development.
We also have a special interest in orofacial myology, recognising the important relationship between the mouth, jaw, tongue, breathing, posture and overall development. This may be particularly relevant when considering areas such as oral function, infant feeding, tongue and lip movement, breathing patterns and facial development.
Whether you are looking for a paediatric chiropractor in Secret Harbour, Rockingham, Mandurah and surrounds, our goal is to provide gentle, individualised care while helping parents better understand their child's development and supporting them with practical strategies they can use at home.
At Secret Harbour Chiropractic, we provide gentle, personalised chiropractic care throughout pre-conception, pregnancy and postpartum. Dr. Jones (chiropractor) is Webster Technique certified and uses a gentle, pregnancy-specific approach to help women stay active, comfortable and confident as their bodies change throughout pregnancy.
Pregnancy can place additional demands on the pelvis, spine and nervous system, and chiropractic care may be helpful for common pregnancy-related concerns including pelvic girdle pain, lower back pain, pubic symphysis pain, sciatica and jaw pain. Our care is tailored to your stage of pregnancy, your individual needs and goals, with an emphasis on supporting healthy movement, function and a positive birth experience.
Through pregnancy-specific assessment and care, we aim to support optimal pelvic function and fetal positioning, while helping you feel strong, mobile and supported throughout pregnancy and into the postpartum period.
