My Story
About Dr Grace Stephen
Dr Grace experienced a troublesome hip injury as a teenager that impaired her performance as a cross country runner and hockey player. She found Chiropractic to not only be the therapy that provided her with natural pain relief but kept her injuries at bay. She credits chiropractic to improving her performance, function and overall wellbeing so she can still run and play hockey today.

FAQ’S About Chiropractic
What happens on my first visit?
Your first consult takes approximately 45 minutes. You’ll be greeted by Dr Grace who will take a thorough history and perform a physical examination including relevant neurological orthopaedic and functional testing to work out:
- Where your pain is coming from
- What is causing your pain
- How we are going to manage and treat your musculoskeletal condition
- How long it will take to recover
These answers are fundamental to ensure we provide you with the most effective treatment.
Following examination Dr Grace will provide treatment utilising appropriate techniques for your condition often in the form of spinal manipulation, mobilisation, dry needling, soft tissue work or rehabilitation.
What is an adjustment/Spinal Manipulation?
It is a highly skilled and targeted movement applied by hand to the spinal or extremity joints (your wrist, shoulder, feet). It is a very effective mode of treatment that assists in restoring joint movement and function.
When a joint is adjusted you may hear a noise very similar to that of when you crack your knuckles. It is simply the noise of an air bubble within the joint capsule releasing.
Is Chiropractic Safe?
Yes. Chiropractors are university qualified professionals who have undergone rigorous training to ensure they deliver safe and effective treatment.
Extensive studies have been conducted which have produced a significant body of evidence surrounding the efficacy of chiropractic care. Recent studies have found spinal adjustments are safe, effective and cost effective 1.
Dr. Grace has an interest in paediatrics and has experience treating many a bub and child. She would like to reiterate the risk of an adverse event occurring is RARE2-5. The treatment for an infant or child is modified, often utilising gentle mobilisation techniques, cranial work and massage. It is very similar to paediatric physiotherapy.

Does Chiropractic usually require x-rays?
Imaging can play a significant role in diagnosis and are only taken when a patient’s history and physical examination is inconclusive, suggestive of pathology or requires further investigation.

No. Dr Grace is a primary health care practitioner which means you can wander in and consult Dr Grace directly.
