What to Expect at Your First Visit

Dr Sam Johnson (Chiropractor) asks about your symptoms, work habits, screen time, and how long you have noticed posture-related discomfort. This helps build a complete picture of what may be contributing to your posture issues.

Digital posture analysis or full-spine imaging (if needed) reveals the underlying postural deviations. Dr Sam explains what he sees and how it relates to your symptoms.

Dr Sam walks you through exactly what he found and why it may be contributing to your discomfort. You will get a clear, personalised explanation of your options.

How Posture Pain Connects to Other Conditions

Poor posture, especially forward head position, is one of the primary causes of neck pain. Research shows that correcting posture improves pain outcomes.

Tension headaches originating at the base of your skull are often postural in nature. When posture is corrected, headache frequency often improves dramatically.

Common questions

These answers are general information. Your plan is confirmed after assessment. Individual responses vary.

Is my desk setup causing my pain?

Almost certainly, yesu2014if you're experiencing neck or upper back pain. Forward-facing screens, chairs that don't support your lumbar curve, keyboards positioned too high or too low, and poor lighting all contribute to postural breakdown.

Can posture really be corrected, or is it just how I am?

Posture may be improved at any age. Research suggests that targeted exercise, manual therapy, and consistent practice may help restore alignment and reduce associated pain.

Should I use a standing desk?

Standing desks can help, but they're not a magic fix. The ideal is movement: alternating between sitting and standing throughout your day. Bring photos of your current setup to your appointment with Dr Sam Johnson (Chiropractor) for personalised advice.

Why does my upper back hurt between my shoulder blades?

That ache between your shoulder blades is one of the most common posture-related complaints. Your thoracic spine flattens and stiffens in a rounded position, while your shoulder blades drift apart. Treatment involves spinal manipulation, stretching, and strengthening.

Can I claim my visit through private health insurance?

Yes u2014 we accept all major private health funds. After your appointment at Stapleton Chiropractic, we provide a detailed receipt you can use to claim through your fund's app or online portal.

Your rebate amount depends on your level of cover, but chiropractic is included in most extras policies.

What if my posture pain is from my job (tradies, nursing, driving)?

We work with occupation-specific posture correction all the time. During your assessment, Dr Sam will ask detailed questions about your work tasks and environment. Dr Sam will then recommend exercises and techniques specific to your job.

Stapleton Chiropractic customizes care to your work demands.

Can posture correction help my headaches?

Yes. Tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches are often postural in nature. Forward head posture creates chronic tension in the suboccipital muscles at the base of your skull.

When we correct your posture and relax these muscles, headache frequency and intensity often improve.

What's included in my first $69 visit?

Your $69 initial assessment includes: detailed history, comprehensive postural and spinal examination, postural analysis, spinal manipulation or soft tissue therapy, personalized treatment plan, ergonomic advice, and initial home exercises.

You'll leave with pain relief and clear understanding of your posture dysfunction.

Do I need X-rays or imaging?

Not always. Dr Sam can diagnose most posture dysfunctions through clinical examination. However, if imaging is needed (to rule out structural issues, disc problems, or severe degeneration), Dr Sam will refer you for X-rays or MRI.

We'll discuss imaging during your initial visit if it's necessary.
