AREA SERVED

Chiropractic in The Junction

Healing Wave Chiropractic The Junction is where it all began. Dr Craig Lieschke founded it in 1991 as the very first Healing Wave practice. More than 30 years on, we care for second- and third-generation families who have grown up with us. You'll find us among the shops and cafes of The Junction Village shopping centre, with parking and easy off-street access.

Our chiropractic care in The Junction NSW is built around a simple idea: we look after the whole person, not just the symptoms. Good chiropractic care supports your nervous system and your overall health, not only the sore spot that brought you in. We work to understand the cause, not just the symptom. That's the kind of chiropractic care families have come back for, for more than 30 years.

We welcome people from right across inner Newcastle, including Merewether, Bar Beach, Hamilton, Newcastle East, Cooks Hill and Adamstown [catchment suburbs to confirm]. Whether you're dealing with back pain after work, recurring headaches, neck or shoulder pain, a sports niggle, or looking after the whole family's spinal health, our chiropractors take the time to understand what's going on before we start care.

Dr Craig Lieschke, who started Healing Wave here at The Junction, still practises at this practice. You're cared for by the founder of one of the Hunter's most established chiropractic groups.

We're one of seven Healing Wave practices across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter, with 15 chiropractors between us. If The Junction isn't your closest, our Newcastle East practice  on King Street and our New Lambton chiropractors  are both a short drive away.

First Visit

New to Chiropractic? Here's What You Can Expect at Your First Visit

We see plenty of new people each week, and the first chiropractic visit with us is about understanding you before any adjustment. At your initial consultation we take a thorough history of your health, talk through your symptoms and your health goals, and carry out a full musculoskeletal assessment. A careful health history and physical tests before any adjustment are what good practitioners do, and it is how we make sure care is right for you. 

Where it is clinically needed, you may be referred to one of our practices for an X-ray. Initial consultations generally run for about 30 minutes. After your assessment, we will explain our findings at your next appointment and set out a clear care plan from there. If we think you would be better helped elsewhere, we will tell you and point you in the right direction.

FAQS

Your Questions, Answered

Helpful answers to the things people ask us most.

Chiropractic is not generally covered by Medicare for standard visits, however, you can use your GPMMCP at all our locations – this is a GP care plan that offers Medicare rebates for up to 5 visits per year. Health Funds with Extras cover will usually cover chiropractic and we accept all Health Funds.
No referral needed. You can book directly online or by phone, then come in for your initial consultation.
A chiropractic adjustment is a precise, controlled movement applied to a joint that isn't moving as it should. Most people find it comfortable, and many feel looser straight away. Every adjustment is matched to you, your comfort and your general health.
When your spine and nervous system move well, your body copes better with everyday demands. A gentle adjustment helps restore that movement, and regular chiropractic care can support your overall health and wellness over time.
If you're looking for chiropractic care in The Junction NSW, our practice serves inner Newcastle and the beach suburbs: Merewether, Bar Beach, Hamilton, Cooks Hill and Adamstown. We also have practices at Newcastle East, New Lambton, Mayfield, Warners Bay, East Maitland and Singleton.
We see people for back pain, neck pain and pinched nerves, headaches and migraines, poor posture, sports injuries, and pregnancy and family care.

Yes. We provide gentle care for children and during pregnancy, with chiropractors experienced in family care. The Junction has looked after families across multiple generations.
A physiotherapist tends to approach care using exercise, stretching and strength building to rehabilitate injuries or post surgery. A chiropractor focuses on the spine and nervous system using hands-on adjustments to get them functioning at their best. We assess everyone first and refer on if we believe you would be better helped elsewhere.
