It's not just about your pain though! It's about all the things that the pain prevents you from doing. Maybe it's playing with your kids, being able to exercise, sleeping through the night or getting through the working day without pain. Your desired goal from treatment such as being able to sleep more comfortably at night, exercise without pain or sit at work without discomfort is the backbone (haha, get it?) of your high quality, individually tailored and evidence based treatment you will receive.

Meet your team of chiropractors and massage therapists who will get you back to feeling great again. Fiona is a mother of 2 children who are a lot of fun and keep her very busy. She used to suffer from headaches on a regular basis and chiropractic helped enormously to reduce them. That experience with chiropractic gave her the desire to help you in the same way.
The main goal of your first visit is to have an examination and reach a diagnosis. You will be required to fill out a new patient form prior to your appointment. During your initial consultation you will be asked about problems you have been encountering and about the nature of your pain. The examination will include: a posture analysis, range of motion testing, orthopaedic, neurologic and chiropractic tests.
Low back pain can range from being an annoying niggle to excruciating pain stopping you in your tracks. Up to 80% of people will experience back pain at some point in their life. We are often asked is it a muscle or a spine problem? Both as they are all connected! You can't have one without the other.
Neck pain may come and go or occur suddenly. It can vary from mild discomfort to excruciating pain and may also radiate down into your shoulders, arm or up to your head. The cause of the pain may be a muscle strain, ligament sprain, disc bulge, nerve irritation or arthritis. If you are experiencing neck pain, it is important to have it thoroughly assessed before treatment is started.
Bulging discs or sciatica is an extremely common spinal injury, with thousands of people suffering from this condition. A person suffering from this condition may not even know there is anything wrong until the condition starts causing pain. Depending on the location of the herniated disc in the spine, it can cause excruciating pain, loss of range of motion, and can have other adverse effects.

I read the reviews and decided to give Fiona a shot - and I'm very glad I did. After following her treatment recommendations, the presenting issues have improved significantly, and some areas now feel completely normal and at ease. The commitment paid off. Nothing has worked so well for me! I feel such relief and also gratitude that I am now in a much better place than before. Thank you Fiona!

I started seeing Fiona from Riverside Chiropractic when my pregnancy was progressing and the aches and pains started to be a constant sensation I wanted help readjusting. Fiona was incredibly thorough and completed a personalised assessment and developed a detailed program for my treatment. I felt immediate relief after my first session. I was hooked. After every readjustment with Fiona, my body feels light and mobile, I feel a significant improvement in the reduction in pain and discomfort in my back, pelvis and hips. As my pregnancy progresses, the treatment gives me reassurance that I am maintaining

Fiona has helped me get my life back on track! When I went to go see her I was (in my own words) bent and crooked and in constant discomfort. After seeing Fiona I feel fantastic- the pain is gone, I have no headaches and feel much happier. Fiona has a wholistic approach and teaches you about what’s going on with your body, why you’re in pain and what you can do about it. She always tells you what she’s doing and makes you feel comfortable during the sessions. She is also a very kind person and easy to get along with. She’s understanding and accommodating with appointment times and easy

Fiona is my personal saviour. After a serious ankle fracture, I have been struggling with body and back pain for over 12 months, I booked in randomly and last minute one day, desperate for relief and she was incredibly caring, empathetic and has consistently been understanding and helped me more than I thought was possible all while being super friendly and up for a chat. Recommend her 1000% ❤️

Very good treatment on a nice clean large environment
I have visiting Riverside Chiropractic for my Achilles tendonitis treatment with Fiona.
From day one the pain was reduced in addition my lower back pain is gone.
I recommend Fiona to anyone who in addition to treatment provided tips to improve wellness.

I have a long standing shoulder problem. Over the last five years I have seen numerous therapists - physio, acupuncture, massage, cortisone injections and drs appointments - but no one was able to work out what the problem was, let alone fix it. I was in a lot of pain and with very little movement.
Fiona was able to make a huuuuge improvement at the very first visit and I'm continuing to improve with every session. I feel like I have finally got some quality of life back.
I can't recommend Fiona highly enough.

I've been going to Fiona for spinal adjustments and it's been great. I trust her work, she is thorough, professional and friendly in her approach to patient care. She has fixed the various bio-mechanical issues I've had in only a few short months, allowing me to experience pain-free movement again! I highly recommend Fiona!

Being an active runner, I came to see Fiona after a few physiotherapy and massage appointments which did not seem to fix me.
After the first session I could tell I was on the right track, and within a week I was fixed.
Maintenance is key so I continued to see Fiona whilst I ramp up my training load and my body is holding together even better!

I have received chiropractic treatment on and off most of my life. During the third trimester of my second pregnancy I developed quite severe pelvic pain. Fiona really helped me to get through this providing fantastic and safe treatment. Because of her knowledge and specialised equipment, I had complete faith and trust in Fiona and knew that I was receiving the best care for me and my baby. I've only just delivered my healthy baby boy and look forward to returning to Fiona to ensure that my post birth health continues with her support.

I am so happy with my progress since visiting Fiona. I am 75 and recently suffered two heavy falls leading to pelvic injuries.The pain I experienced just trying to get into the car was severe. I had to stop driving because I could not raise my foot to the brake pedal. Thanks to Fiona and her wonderful treatments, I am back behind the wheel again. Well done Riverside Chiropractic.

Since I started seeing Fiona @ Riverside Chiro a few years ago, my general health has dramatically improved...Never realised a simple adjustment would impact my health so much...Been to other Chiro's which are either very clinical or simply rush you out so that they can see the next patient. With Riverside they take the time to discuss any aliments before making the adustments...Thanks Fiona

Fiona is amazing!! I had suffered from lower back pain for a number of years and then started to experience neck and shoulder pain which was interfering with my work and sleep. After the first treatment, I noticed a significant difference – less pain and more movement, but with subsequent treatments I found that I was sleeping better and felt I had more energy. I now see Fiona on a regularly basis to keep my body in good shape.
