What to expect at Naturally Chiropractic
At Naturally Chiropractic Bundaberg, we aim to make your experience clear, comfortable, and professional from the very beginning. Whether it’s your first time seeing a chiropractor or you’ve received care before, we’ll guide you through each step with care and confidence.
Our focus is on identifying the underlying cause of your discomfort, providing hands-on chiropractic care, and helping you return to work, life, and the activities you enjoy most.
You’ll find us conveniently located at 2/224 Bourbong Street, Bundaberg West, 4670, QLD.
If you have any questions before your appointment, don’t hesitate to contact our team here.
Your First Visit: Comprehensive Consultation & Examination
Your first appointment is focused on understanding your health history and the reason for your visit. We’ll begin with a comprehensive discussion about your health history, your current concerns, past injuries, and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to your condition.
A thorough physical examination will follow, which includes postural checks, range of motion testing, orthopaedic and neurological testing, and spinal health screening. If clinically required, we may refer for x-rays (bulk billed through Medicare). This process helps us to diagnoise structural and functional issues related to your spine, joints and nervous sytem. Our goal is to identify the root cause of your concern - not just manage the symptoms - so your care is targeted, appropriate and effective for your stage of life.
Please allow up to 40 minutes for this visit. Treatment is not typically provided at this stage unless clinically appropriate.
Your Second Visit: Report of Findings & First Treatment
During your second appointment, we’ll explain the results of your initial assessment in clear, straightforward terms. You’ll receive a diagnosis and we’ll walk you through a tailored care plan, including how often care may be recommended and the outcomes we’re aiming to achieve.
If clinically appropriate, you may receive your first chiropractic adjustment during this visit. Your care may include manual, hands-on spinal adjustments, drop table techniques, gentle methods like SOT, cranial work, acvitoar or the Webster technique (for pregnancy). Ever adjustment is specific, age-appropriate, and guided by how your body presents on the day.
Please allow up to 30 minutes for this visit.
Ongoing Visits: Acute to Wellness
Your care plan with Dr Kayley Coles will be designed around your individual needs and health goals. This may involve a series of regular visits aimed at reducing discomfort, improving function, and supporting your recovery.
Once your initial goals have been achieved, we’re here to support you with any longer-term health and lifestyle objectives. We may recommend specific rehabilitation exercises, or simple lifestyle or ergonomic advice. For some, periodic chiropractic care, whether fortnightly or monthly, may assist in maintaining progress, supporting long-term spinal functions and helps reduce the likelihood of future flare-ups.
Please allow 15 minutes for these visits.
Techniques We Use At Naturally Chiropractic
Dr Kayley Coles primarily uses manual chiropractic adjustments, which are precise, hands-on techniques designed to restore movement and balance to the spine. These adjustments are tailored to suit each person’s unique presentation, with the goal of improving spinal function, reducing nervous system stress, and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal and adapt.
Manual adjustments are commonly used to help people experiencing lower back pain, neck stiffness, disc issues, and other musculoskeletal complaints. They can provide effective relief while also promoting long-term postural and functional improvements.
For those who require a gentler approach, including during pregnancy and in paediatric care, Dr Kayley incorporates low-force techniques such as Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT), cranial work, and the Webster Technique. These methods are gentle, specific, and designed to support spinal and pelvic balance without the need for forceful adjustments.
With babies and children, care is always extremely gentle and age-appropriate. Pressure is light and soothing, designed to support healthy growth, development, and nervous system function from the earliest stages of life.
No matter your age or stage of life, care at Naturally Chiropractic Bundaberg is always personalised, safe, and centred around helping you feel and function at your best.
