Chiropractic treatment.
For when you're feeling a little sore.

Chiropractic treatment refers to the diagnosis and manipulative treatment of joint misalignments (most commonly of the spinal column) which are believed to cause other disorders by affecting the nerves, muscles and organs. Chiro is one of the most popular services used by HIF members - and the good news is, it's covered on all of our great value Extras Cover options!

What does chiro treatment involve?

Chiropractors use a specific type of manipulation called an adjustment to improve many health problems that are related to the skeleton and muscular system. Common areas that can benefit from chiro treatment include knees, shoulders and spinal conditions such as lower back or neck pain, as well as other health problems such as headaches and period pain.

Which HIF Extras policies include chiro?

All five of our Extras Cover options include chiro as standard. The only difference is that the benefits and annual limits you can claim all increase as your level of cover increases. Our Extras range also includes cover for other popular services which can help to soothe your aching bones, joints and muscles, such as physio, osteo, myotherapy and remedial massage.

Here's a quick rundown of the benefits you can claim on all of those services each year to keep your body in tip-top condition!

From 1 Jan 2020 we'll be changing the way we pay rebates on physio, chiro and osteo services. Find out more.
