Sports Chiropractor Gold Coast

Care for active people

Dr Andrew Kaltenbach has postgraduate qualifications in sports chiropractic. Whether you run, lift, surf, play team sport or golf, we can assess how your spine and joints are moving and help you understand your options.

We work with your other health professionals where needed, with your consent, and refer you on when that is the better choice.

Sports injuries and problems we can assess

• Back, neck, hip and shoulder complaints that limit training
• Spinal and pelvic joint problems
• Recurring niggles that keep coming back
• Movement and posture patterns
• Return-to-sport questions after an injury has settled

What to expect

Your first visit includes a detailed history, examination and a discussion of your goals. If imaging or another practitioner is more appropriate, we will tell you. Where it suits you, your plan may include adjustments, corrective exercises, spinal traction (decompression) and advice on training load and recovery.

Common questions

Do I need to be a serious athlete?

No. We see everyone from occasional exercisers to regular competitors.

Will I have to stop training?

Often not. We advise on what is safe for you after your assessment.

Can you help prevent recurring injuries?

We can identify spinal and postural factors that may be contributing and give you a plan to address them.
