Why Does My Chiro Seem Like a Physio? The Evolution of Chiropractic Care

At Epoch Health, we often hear patients say, "My chiropractor treats me like a physio and a chiro—almost like a hybrid." This is no surprise, as modern chiropractic care has evolved beyond just spinal adjustments.

As a chiropractor myself and the director of Epoch Health, I believe in an evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach to treatment. While traditional chiropractic care focused heavily on spinal manipulation, today’s best practices incorporate a broader range of therapies to optimise movement, relieve pain, and prevent future issues.

The Hybrid Approach - Chiro Meets Physio

So, why does your chiropractor seem like a physio? Because many of us integrate rehabilitation-focused techniques into care. This may include:

• Exercise Therapy – Strengthening and mobility drills to improve stability and function.

• Manual Therapy – Soft tissue release, joint mobilisations, and other hands-on techniques.

• Biomechanical Assessments – Analysing posture, movement patterns, and functional imbalances.

• Education & Self-Management – Helping you understand your condition and how to manage it long-term.

This combination of chiropractic and physiotherapy-style care ensures that patients receive the most comprehensive treatment possible. It’s not just about short-term relief—it’s about long-term recovery and performance.

Why This Matters for You?

At Epoch Health, we prioritise what works best for each individual. Whether it’s a spinal adjustment, rehabilitation exercises, or hands-on treatment, our goal is to help you move and feel better.
