NDIS Chiropractor Geelong | Chiropractic Care for NDIS Participants

NDIS Chiropractic

How Can an NDIS Chiropractor Help?

Living with a disability or long-term health condition can affect mobility, independence and quality of life. For many eligible NDIS participants, chiropractic care may form part of a broader allied health approach aimed at helping improve movement, reduce pain and support participation in everyday activities.

At Empowered Health Chiropractic, every treatment plan begins with understanding your individual goals. Whether your aim is improving mobility, increasing independence, reducing muscular tension or supporting your daily function, our team works with you to develop a personalised management plan.

Our chiropractors understand that every participant has different needs. We take the time to perform a thorough assessment before recommending appropriate treatment options and regularly review your progress throughout your care. Our clinic also has experience preparing professional reports that may assist with future NDIS plan reviews where clinically appropriate.

Who May Be Eligible for NDIS Chiropractic Care?

Eligibility for chiropractic services under the NDIS depends on your individual plan and funding arrangements.

Participants may access chiropractic care if it is considered a reasonable and necessary support that aligns with their NDIS goals and approved funding.

Funding arrangements may include:

Self-managed NDIS plans
Plan-managed NDIS plans
NDIA-managed plans where appropriate approvals are in place

If you’re unsure whether chiropractic services can be included within your plan, our reception team can discuss the referral process and answer general questions about booking an appointment. We also encourage participants to speak with their Support Coordinator, Local Area Coordinator or Plan Manager when determining how their funding may be used.

Our Collaborative Approach

Many NDIS participants work with multiple allied health professionals to achieve their goals.

Where appropriate, our chiropractors communicate with other members of your healthcare team, including:

General Practitioners

Working collaboratively helps ensure your care remains focused on your individual goals and complements other supports you may already be receiving.

Every participant receives an individual assessment to determine the most appropriate management approach based on their symptoms, goals and overall health.

Chiropractic adjustments where clinically appropriate
Soft tissue therapy
Dry needling

Reports for NDIS Plan Reviews

In some situations, participants may require reports describing their progress or current presentation.

Where clinically appropriate, our chiropractors can prepare professional reports outlining:

Current presentation
Assessment findings
Functional limitations
Progress during care
Clinical recommendations

These reports may assist participants and their healthcare team when preparing for future NDIS plan reviews. The content of any report will always reflect the individual’s clinical presentation and assessment findings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my NDIS funding for chiropractic care?

Some participants may be able to access chiropractic care through their NDIS funding where it aligns with their approved supports and goals. Funding arrangements vary, so we recommend discussing your plan with your Plan Manager, Support Coordinator or the NDIA if you’re unsure.

Do I need a referral?

A referral is not always required to book an appointment. However, depending on your NDIS funding arrangement, additional approvals or documentation may be needed before treatment begins.

Can my Support Coordinator contact your clinic?

Absolutely. We regularly communicate with participants, Support Coordinators and Plan Managers regarding appointments, reports and treatment planning where appropriate.

Will I receive a personalised treatment plan?

Yes. Every participant receives an individual assessment before treatment recommendations are made. Your care plan will always be tailored to your goals, symptoms and clinical presentation.
