Your First Visit to Back To Front Chiropractic
Your first chiropractic visit at our Brisbane clinic includes a short questionnaire, a consultation about your complaint and health history, and a physical examination to work out whether chiropractic care suits your problem and what the likely cause is. If you’ve never seen a chiropractor before, it’s normal to wonder whether they’ll actually listen or just rush you through, and whether you’ll be talked into something before you understand what’s going on. Here’s exactly how getting started works at Back To Front Chiropractic in East Brisbane, step by step, so there are no surprises.
We’ve kept the process to two visits since chiropractor Travis West opened the clinic in 2006. The first is about understanding your problem. The second is about explaining what we found and what we recommend.

Meet Our Brisbane Chiropractors
Travis West is the founder of Back to Front Chiropractic. Travis was first exposed to Chiropractic at the age of 15. There was something about the science, art and philosophy of this profession that immediately appealed to him and from that day on his mind was made up – he wanted to be the best chiropractor he could be.
After completing his undergraduate Bachelor of Science at Queensland University, Travis moved to Sydney to complete his Masters of Chiropractic at Macquarie University in 1997. Travis then practised in Sydney for 8 years before returning to Brisbane to establish Back To Front. From our modest beginnings in the ground floor of our house to a commercial shop front in Stones Corner and now into our “warehouse” location Travis and his team have built a one of a kind Brisbane chiropractic and wellness space.

Chiropractic X-Rays
As good as our initial consultation and examination procedures are at finding where and why your problems are occurring, x rays are invaluable at showing exactly what the health of your spine is at this point in time. This increases our safety and effectiveness when working with you.
Whenever x rays are taken we will always schedule extra time on your next appointment to show you all the pictures and highlight any concerns that you need to be aware of. All this information is detailed in your report of findings folder.
Posture & Everyday Back Care
No matter what causes back pain, an important part of its resolution is improvement of posture and learning to use the body correctly. Good posture allows the use of the body without added strain on muscles, joints, ligaments and internal organs. A healthy posture must be considered in all activities: sitting, standing, resting, working, playing and during exercise.
It is not simply a matter of “standing tall”. This guide is designed to help you correct the positions and movements, which may aggravate your back problem. Particular emphasis is placed on resting postures, because even in these positions it is possible to strain the neck and back. By learning to live with good posture in all your activities, your back will gradually return to a comfortable, functional part of you.
Fees and health fund claims
Your initial consultation and examination is $120. HICAPS is available on site, so you can claim on the spot and pay only the gap, and advanced payment options are available for those on a regular care plan.
