Our Process

Our 5 step process is designed to get you long term results, not just a quick fix.

1

We Listen


Our first priority is to ensure you feel understood. We want to gain a thorough understanding of your clinical history, as well as the goals you hope to achieve.

2

Analyse the Problem

We’re not interested in patching you up until the next time your pain returns. We aim to help resolve the underlying causes of your problem in a way that will bring more lasting relief, and also help you identify any habits that might be recreating the same problems over and over again.

3

Explain

Once we understand your case, we can explain what’s required to get the best results, including how long it’ll take, how often you’ll need to come and the cost of treatment. No hidden surprises. We’ll also explain what you can do to help yourself to obtain better results, faster.

4

Results

ABC™ is designed to get you moving and feeling better quickly, while providing long term postural change. Many people notice an improvement in their pain and posture from their very first adjustment.

5

Prevention

Once you’re back in shape, we want you to stay that way. We’ll help you develop tools and habits to maintain a healthier, more pain-free life!

I have been seeing James at TOTAL BALANCE CHIROPRACTIC for an issue with my neck. James has been very professional and explaining each step to fixing my issue. I can now move my neck much easier than before. I would recommend this business if you need help such as I did.

I've been seeing James for quite a few years now and always happy with my regular adjustments. James has improved my posture so much over the years which has removed a lot of back pain and discomfort. Thank you James! Highly recommended this practice for chiropractic needs.

I am in my 80s and came here 6 weeks ago with really bad sciatica. I had stabbing nerve pain in my lower back, and with pain all the way down my left leg. Already the stabbing pain has left me and life is once again worth living. I'm able to walk my dog for a good 40 minutes and at a much faster pace than before. With another 6 weeks to go, I'm looking forward to being completely pain free and with far better posture as a bonus. Thank you Dr James and the team.

I’ve been seeing James at Total Balance Chiro for a few years now. After a car accident, I had many issues with my neck and back. Going to James regularly meant that I recovered super quickly. I have kept going because I feel so great after getting adjusted. He is super gentle and kind, and the whole team at Total Balance Chiro is amazing. My husband has been seeing James for years as well and we started taking our son recently. He is patient with the little ones! Highly recommend everyone should see these guys, you won’t regret it!

Been going to total balance for a few years now and I honestly couldn’t recommend anyone else. I’ve had heaps of improvements. Mentally physically and emotionally. I’ve had Matt do a remedial massage and immediately I felt better. Tom has been doing my adjustments since the beginning as well as the other lovely team members and without the team at total balance chiropractic I wouldn’t have any relief ever. With constant changes to my schedule the lovely ladies at the front desk do their absolute best to work with me. I’m going to continue forever going to total balance as my loyalties lie with them! P.S they deserve a 10 star rating not a 5 star rating ⭐️ .

The team at Total Balance Chiropractic are so friendly and I just love going there. I had a bit of scoliosis and would get extreme pain in my neck and back often. And now I don’t ever get that pain anymore and my back is straight! It’s been a journey but I started seeing improvements pretty much straight away. So amazing! I am so grateful for this type of chiropractic work and the team.

Matt Jones, remedial therapist works in conjunction with this practice and is fantastic! Since a car accident 25 years ago I’ve tried all types of therapies to manage muscular pain in my neck, back and shoulders. Matt is without doubt one of the best in his field.

Had been struggling with back pain for year and after a stubborn tennis elbow decided to give chiro a go. Couldn’t believe I hadn’t done it sooner… No more back pain and back to playing squash with no pain either! Definitely made me feel much better and I would recommend James and his team to everyone!

Samantha Maher

I’ve been coming to Total Balance for over 12 years now. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Whether it’s for general maintenance or to fix an existing issue they have got your back! Thinking of visiting a Chiro? These guys are the best in Newcastle!

I looked for chiropractic for spinal alignment and posture improvement. At the first appointment I was already impressed, because with the first alignment I returned to the posture I had more than 15 years ago, and with continued treatment it has improved with each alignment and maintained over the weeks. I just have to thank you for the great improvement! In addition, the entire Total Balance team is very kind and attentive.

Beccy Allen

An amazing team. Everyone is very personable and makes you feel welcomed. Susannah is very professional and has really helped with my head aches and overall posture. I also love the fact that they share what they have learnt and do regular workshops to ensure everyone is up to date and can get the best possible results!

Fantastic chiropractic experience. Great customer service. Our whole family uses this practise

Being a complete professional athlete and needing my body to be in complete physical perfection. The total balance team know the importance of it and keep me moving at optimum performance. If you need some on to make sure your body is working like it should to reach those goals these guys are the go.

Had an issue with my Achilles due to Squash and in less than 2 weeks had no more pain. Just decided to keep going and after 6 month feel great, no back pain and feel very stable in my posture. Highly recommend the team! 😀

A sincere thank you to Dr James Cobb and the team at Total Balance. Quite simply - You've changed my life. I didn't think I could ever get back to where I was before the injuries. I have a new positive (and pain free!) outlook on life. The care and detailed process before commencing any treatment is impressive. You're a consummate professional. I can't recommend more highly to anyone reading this review and may be feeling like their life can't be improved. Make the call - you'll wish you did it sooner!

James and the Total Balance team have been fantastic. James is an incredibly skilled chiro who i've been seeing for 12 odd weeks. My posture is showing a visually noticeable improvement and I have been free from back pain since the 2nd or 3rd session. The front of house team are friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks team!

I would highly recommend Tom at Total Balance Chiropractic. Iam a huge headache sufferer that can walking in with a headache of 8/10 and walk out with a significant reduction to 2/10. Tom has a professional and caring manner with his clients and will take the time to listen and work with you to find the relief we all look for when suffering with pain on a regular basis.

Many years of pain relief. Back surgeon wanting to fuse spine or replace disks. James and Tom saved me from the pills and the surgeon. Been attending TBC on a regular for approx 8 years. Cannot thank them enough. Gave me a new lease on life. All round amazing staff.

James and the ABC method of Chiro has been the best thing to straighten out the aches and pains from sitting at a desk all day.

Greg Bailey

Affordable, quality treatments that actually work. The wife talked me into getting a treatment after she started attending, but this is one win for her! I'll be keeping up my regular appointments, because the results truly speak for themselves.

Gordon Heap
September 17, 2021

They're different, which is a good thing. I've been seeing Chiropractors for 40 years and they always seem to do the same thing. This "ABC" programme is a completely different and it works. I've been seeing James for about 2 years with great results. Thank you James and the team at Total Balance.

Dom Brettell
September 17, 2021

When I started seeing Tom my back and neck were an absolute mess. He set out a plan and explained the process and what to expect. It didn’t take long for him to get my pain under control and overtime he’s helped to unwind years of back issues which has helped me get more out of my fitness and life in general. The support staff are great! Don’t put up with back pain, go and see TBC and fix it.

Trent Polglase

James and team provide the best Chiropractic care. I have been seeing James for almost 10 years after previously being at another Chiro. After every adjustment i feel like I'm bouncing walking out of the clinic.

Fantastic! Have had extreme back pain for over 5 years, tried so many different treatments with little to no results. Saw James and the team and haven’t turned back! Amazed at how effective the treatment has been! Pain gone, life back. Highly recommend

Kallan Smith

I initially came here for preventive care, but did not realise how much stress and tension I was holding in my back. Tom was very thorough in explaining the state of my back and path to correcting it. He is very informative and helpful to answer every question I have. 12 weeks later and I feel completely different, my stability, flexibility, posture, and energy have all improved. The girls at the front door are lovely and also very flexible with making appointments work for you, making it an enjoyable experience as soon as you walk in the door.

I have been to a few different chiropractors and Total balance chiropratic have been the only one where i have recieved treatment that lasts and doesnt just give temporary relief. The staff are easy to deal with and also welcoming and you always feel you are in safe hands with any of the chiros. I highly recommend this team for any of your chiro needs.

Unless you've tried this kind of chiro, you haven't really tried chiro. They do a lot more adjustments, and actuslly check the success of those and read just multiple times. This is active adjustment, standing, laying, sitting. No adjustments are lahign face down on a bed!

I’ve just completed the 12 week course with Susanna and am feeling incredible!! Her adjustments have been a lifesaver through lockdown when I’ve been stuck at my desk, in my home, for weeks on end. The whole team at Total Balance is friendly and helpful, and I would recommend anyone thinking of trying Chiro to give these guys a go.

I've been seeing Tom at TBC for over 4 years now and they're such a fantastic team. I can happily recommend any one of these chiropractors. They really listen to you and your body and work with where you're at and what your goals are. The whole team are so friendly and approachable, love working with them.

If you're even remotely considering chiropractic treatment, book now! You won't regret it. I initially selected Total Balance Chiropractic due to their close proximity to my work, and ease of booking. I've since signed up the whole family, and the whole team at Total Balance have become like our second family, and treat us as such. I have every confidence that our progressive treatments are making real positive changes to our quality of life.

Tom at Total Balance Chiropractic is AMAZING!! Working off an Xray, can see positive results after even the first session!! I was having earaches and turned out my jaw was out of alignment! After 1 adjustment had complete relief!! Totally recommend!!

12 years of chronic back and neck pain, I was desperate for help. After My first session with James I was amazed with the instant relief I felt (visits lasted 12 months). It has been over 4 years since seeing James but my life is so much better....can't thank this man enough.

bennettjamin
April 19, 2016

Had some kind of pain in my neck which rendered me totally unable to move the upper half of my body. Randomly chose a local chiropractor and couldn't have lucked out more on my selection: service was very effective and Tom had me back to my normal health in no time, bookings were made to suit my schedule and the welcoming receptionist all culminated in a great experience I would consider again without any hesitation and recommend thoroughly to anyone in need of chiropractor work.

James has helped my back beyond my expectation, he has straightened me out and I'm feeling and looking physically better. Nat is amazing and welcoming. She looks after my baby whilst I'm being treated, he was 4 months old when we first started out and he loves and trusts her immensely. You can't go wrong with the team here. Highly recommended.

Shelley Rath
June 25, 2012

I have been seeing chiropractors for over 20 years but have finally found a better way with James and Total Balance Chiropractic. James always puts in extra effort when I mention a particular problem. Natalie is fantastic, always finding me that "extra spot" when I need an additional visit. I love the way Total Balance gave me a full introduction when I started and also their holistic approach, including free talks on a range of subjects. I even have my husband attending. I have no hesitation in recommending Total Balance Chiropractic.

Robyn D'Ermilio

i have suffered from lower back pain since having my daughter 30 years ago. 5 years ago the pain went to my hips and I began getting troublesome pain in my neck and severe headaches. I. have seen doctors, physiotherapists, ostiopaths, traditional chiropractors,and podiatrists. i have had acupuncure, several scans, xrays and worn orthodicts. James has been treating me over the last couple of months. I am more than astonished with the change. i have no or at times very little pain, the range of movement i now have is wonderful. i can't recommend Total Balance highly enough. i

Catherine Varcoe
June 14, 2012

So glad I discovered Total Balance Chiropractic, as my body continues to heal, my life continues to get better. I feel at least ten years younger, fitter and healthier after just over a year of treatment and adjustments with James. My back used to be so painful in the mornings that I could barely stand up long enough to make myself a cup of tea. These days I'm up and out the door walking the dogs for half an hour and again in the afternoon, active Kelpies who really appreciate my extra energy. I have now learnt so much about looking after my body and maintaining good health and I will continue my chiropractic care for the rest of my life.
