Chiropractic in Leichhardt

From the daily coffee run along Norton Street to weekend errands at Norton Plaza — whether you’re juggling toddlers, on the tools all week, or desk-bound from nine to five — life moves fast, and it’s easy for your body to lag behind.

We hear the same patterns from locals right here in Leichhardt:

  • “My back seizes up after long hours at my desk”
  • “My neck gets stiff from working at the kitchen table”
  • “Every time I get back into exercise, something flares up”
  • “I can’t shake the tension in my shoulders”
  • “I feel older in my body than I should”

Most people wait until they’re in real discomfort — but usually the signs were there:

  • Persistent tension in the neck or lower back
  • Nerve pain or sciatica
  • Headaches that creep in by the afternoon
  • A heavy, sluggish feeling that’s hard to shake
  • That sense your body’s just not moving the way it used to

Chiropractic care here isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about real support, tailored to your body and your goals.

Watch Dr Elch explain how we help patients get back on track:

What to expect at our Leichhardt clinic

No cookie-cutter plans. No pressure to commit to long-term programs.

Your session is shaped around your lifestyle — whether that means long hours at a desk, wrangling the kids, or just trying to stay active despite a few niggles.

A session with one of our chiropractors includes hands-on treatment, movement guidance, and a clear explanation of what’s going on in your body.

It’s grounded, practical care to help you feel better and move with more ease.
