Frequently asked questions
Everything you'd want to know before your first visit, and some things you might not have thought to ask.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly: no GP referral, no specialist letter, no documentation required. Just choose a time and come in.
What if I've never tried Chiropractic before?
That's completely fine. The first visit begins with a thorough conversation about your history, your health background, and what you're hoping for, before any hands-on work begins. Dr Euan will explain what he observes and what he'd suggest before anything happens. Care is adapted to the individual at every visit.

Do you see children and babies?
Yes. Dr Euan regularly sees newborns, children at all stages of development, and teenagers. The approach adapts significantly for younger patients. The contacts used with infants are extremely light (no more than a gentle fingertip pressure), and sessions are always at the child's pace with parents present throughout.

Can I receive care during pregnancy?
Yes. Network Spinal is gentle and comfortable, and focuses on nervous system ease and spinal adaptability at a time when the body is changing rapidly. All care is adapted to your stage of pregnancy and your comfort. No referral from your midwife or obstetrician is required, though if you have specific concerns your care team has flagged, please mention them when you arrive.

Do you see older adults?
Yes. The gentle approach used here may be an option for many people who would not be suited to traditional manual adjusting. Dr Euan takes a thorough history at the first visit and takes any relevant health conditions fully into account before recommending any hands-on work. If there is any reason care would not be appropriate, he will say so directly.

What happens at my first visit?
The first visit begins with a proper conversation: your health history, what you're currently experiencing, what you've tried before, and what you're hoping for. This typically takes fifteen to twenty minutes and shapes everything that follows.
Dr Euan will then carry out a gentle spinal and nervous system assessment. You remain fully clothed throughout, and it's calm and unhurried. He'll explain what he observes. In most cases, he'll offer a gentle hands-on session in the same visit if you'd like to proceed.
Allow approximately 60 minutes for your first visit. Follow-up visits are shorter, typically 10 to 15 minutes. Full walk-through of your first visit.
What should I wear?
Something comfortable is ideal; loose clothing makes the assessment easier. That said, most people come straight from the office and that's perfectly fine. You remain fully clothed throughout the assessment and session.
How long are follow-up sessions?
Follow-up visits are typically 10 to 15 minutes: long enough to be meaningful, short enough to fit within a lunch break. Many people who work nearby schedule sessions during the week.
Can I bring someone with me?
Of course. You're welcome to bring a partner, friend, or family member. For children, a parent or guardian is present throughout every session.
How often should I come in?
Visit frequency is worked out individually rather than set by a standard schedule. Many people come more often in the early stages of care and less often over time.
Dr Euan will give you a clear recommendation after your first visit, based on what he observes and what your goals are. There is no obligation beyond the first appointment.
Does treatment involve cracking or manipulation?
Care at WellWellWell Sydney is tailored to you: your history, your body and your preferences. Network Spinal, the primary method, is gentle and comfortable, using light, precise contacts along the spine.
For people who prefer more direct spinal work, gentle manual Chiropractic adjusting is also available. Either way, nothing happens without a conversation first and your full understanding and agreement.
What is Network Spinal and how does it work?
Network Spinal is a precise, gentle chiropractic method that works with the relationship between the spine and the nervous system. Rather than applying force to joints, it uses light, specific contacts at key points along the spine, particularly the neck and tailbone, that help the nervous system recognise where it's been holding tension and begin, at its own pace, to release it.
The contacts don't impose change. They offer the nervous system a kind of signal: well-timed input that invites the body's own capacity to respond. The intention is that, as the nervous system encounters this input over time, it can build more efficient strategies, with less bracing and more ease. Read more about the Network Care process.
How does this approach differ from other kinds of hands-on care?
Approaches such as physiotherapy and massage work primarily with muscles and joints. Network Spinal works with the nervous system, the part that influences how muscles hold tension and how the body responds to stress. It uses light, precise contacts rather than manipulation, and attends to the relationship between the spine and the nervous system. It's a different focus, suited to people drawn to a gentle, nervous-system-based approach.
What kinds of things do people come in for?
People come to WellWellWell Sydney for a wide range of reasons, from back and neck tension, headaches and postural strain, to stress, fatigue, and simply feeling worn down or switched on all the time. Rather than working from a diagnosis, the approach attends to how the nervous system is holding tension and organising itself.
What does a session feel like?
You'll lie on a padded table, fully clothed, while Dr Euan makes a series of light, precise contacts along the spine. The contacts are subtle and gentle, often lighter than people expect.
What people notice varies. Some notice a deepening of the breath, a softening through the shoulders or jaw, or a wave-like movement through the spine. Some notice very little during the session. All of these are normal.
What might I notice, and over what sort of timeframe?
Experiences vary. Some people notice something in the early sessions, such as a fuller breath; others describe a more gradual experience over a series of visits. Network Spinal is generally approached as a course of care over several weeks rather than a one-off. Dr Euan reviews how you're going with you at each visit and adapts the approach accordingly.
What if I don't feel like anything is happening?
That's common, particularly in the early stages. What people notice is often subtle at first, and some notice more in the hours or days after a session than during it. Dr Euan observes how your nervous system is responding at each visit and adapts the approach to what your body is showing.
Why might I feel emotionally unsettled after a session?
Physical tension and emotional experience can be more connected than people assume. As tension patterns release, it's not uncommon for an emotion to surface alongside the physical shift: unexpected sadness, a wave of relief, or simply feeling more open than usual.
It isn't something to suppress or push through. Simply notice it, give yourself space, and mention it at your next visit. Dr Euan can help you understand what's happening.
Can I exercise after a session?
Yes. There's no restriction on exercise after a session. If you can, giving yourself an hour or two of relative quiet afterwards is a nice idea before any high-output activity.
What does it cost?
Full fee information is on the fees and insurance page. Discounted 10-visit packages are available for people who want to commit to a course of care.
Does private health insurance cover Chiropractic care here?
Dr Euan is a registered Chiropractor, so many private health funds provide cover under chiropractic benefits. Coverage varies by fund and level of cover, so it's worth checking with your provider. Medicare EPC plans for chiropractic care are accepted when an appropriate referral is provided by your GP.
When are appointments available?
The practice is open Tuesday to Friday for regular appointments. First visits for new patients are on Wednesday afternoons and Thursday mornings. If none of these times suit, get in touch directly and Dr Euan will do his best to accommodate you.
Where is the practice?
Suite 301, Level 3, 185 Elizabeth Street, Sydney NSW 2000, opposite Hyde Park. It's a short walk from St James, Town Hall, Museum and Gadigal Metro stations. There's no on-site parking; metered street parking runs around Hyde Park, and the Cook & Phillip Pool and Domain carparks are both about five minutes' walk. Full directions.
Do you offer payment plans?
Discounted 10-visit packages are available. Please speak with Dr Euan about whether one suits your situation. Fee information.
Is there anything I should do to prepare for a session?
Nothing specific. Coming in with an open awareness of how your body feels, rather than pushing through the day on autopilot, tends to make the experience richer. But there's nothing required. Just arrive.
How can I get the most out of each session?
A session is not something done to you; it's something you participate in. A few things that help:
Notice sensation. As you settle onto the table, take stock of where tension is held, in the neck, the shoulders, the jaw, the breath. You don't need to do anything with it. Just notice.
Follow your breath. If you notice your breath changing, deepening or slowing, let it. Don't direct it, just allow it.
Let the body move if it wants to. Some people notice a spontaneous movement, a wave through the spine or a shift in the shoulders. You don't need to suppress it or exaggerate it.
Stay with your experience. Conversation during a session pulls your attention back into analysis. Save questions and observations for before or after.
Take your time afterwards. Don't rush off the table. Give yourself a minute to notice how you feel before you re-engage with the day, and a quiet hour or two if you can.
What should I notice in the hours and days after a session?
Whatever is different. That's the most useful thing to track: breath, the way tension is held in the mornings, how you respond to something stressful, how you sleep, how your body feels at the end of a working day compared to usual.
Small, consistent shifts are worth noticing, and worth mentioning at your next visit.
Is there anything I can read to understand this better before I commit to a visit?
Yes. The Twelve Awakenings is a free book by Dr Euan that explores the experience of nervous system healing through story. It's a gentle introduction to this kind of care, and no sign-up is required.
Still have a question?
If something isn't covered here, get in touch directly. Or simply come in: the first visit is largely a conversation, and there's no question too small or too vague to bring.
