Understanding Your Back Pain Challenges
At Clifton Hill Chiropractic, we’ve spent 30 years understanding these patterns and developing treatment approaches that work with your lifestyle, not against it. Brunswick patients dealing with similar inner-city back pain patterns will find the same evidence-based approach through our back pain treatment for Brunswick program.
Our extensive assessment identifies whether you’re dealing with:
- Tech neck and upper back strain from non-ergonomic home office setups
- Lower back pain from prolonged sitting in converted warehouse spaces or compact apartments
- Sports-related injuries from overexertion on the Yarra trails
- Chronic pain patterns that have developed over months or years
- Postural imbalances affecting your entire spine
We use advanced chiropractic techniques including Manual Adjustments, Gonstead Technique, Sacro Occipital Technique (S.O.T), Activator Methods, and Drop Piece to create customised treatment plans. Our variety of techniques allows us to accommodate individual needs and tailor treatment to all aspects of your pain, whether acute or chronic in nature.

Specialised Treatment for Abbotsford’s Active Professionals
Working from a Victorian terrace or modern apartment near the Abbotsford Convent presents unique ergonomic challenges. The classic Victorian terrace wasn’t designed for a home office, and we provide targeted advice to counteract the postural strain of working in heritage homes or compact living spaces. Collingwood residents facing virtually identical heritage-home ergonomic challenges can access the same practical advice and treatment through our back pain treatment for Collingwood program.
Our back pain treatment approach includes:
- Detailed postural analysis specific to your work environment
- Spinal adjustments to restore proper alignment and function
- Practical ergonomic recommendations for your specific home setup
- Exercise programs designed around your schedule and fitness level
- Stress management techniques to address tension-related pain

Sports Injury Treatment for Local Athletes
The flat topography of the Yarra floodplain makes Abbotsford perfect for running and cycling, but it also means repetitive impact. We specialise in treating the specific strains local athletes develop on the Main Yarra Trail and surrounding areas. Whether you’re training for the Melbourne Marathon or appreciating weekend rides through Studley Park, our sports chiropractic knowledge helps you maintain peak performance while preventing injury.
Dr Stella Parissis, our founder with 30 years of experience, is herself a marathon and half-marathon runner who understands the demands of training and the importance of recovery. This firsthand experience, combined with our team’s knowledge in sports chiropractic, means we provide treatment that keeps you active.
