At Total Balance Chiropractic, we take your health seriously. That’s why every new patient begins with a comprehensive Discovery Visit a detailed assessment designed to uncover the root cause of your concerns and lay the groundwork for lasting results.
We take the time to understand your body before recommending care, ensuring we’re the right fit for you. And if we’re not, we’ll guide you in the right direction
Your first visit includes a comprehensive assessment: health history, spinal examination, posture scan, movement, strength, and balance testing.
If required, we may refer you for full-spine EOS imaging a low-exposure x-ray that is bulk-billed for Medicare card holders.
If you’re in pain, we’ll do what we can to provide relief on the day, depending on your condition.
At your second visit, we’ll explain your results, what they mean, and whether our unique style of chiropractic care is appropriate for you.
If so, we’ll jump right in to adjusting you, and develop a plan to get you back on track as soon as possible!
Can highly recommend Suzanna and the team, very professional service, they explain and help you to understand the reasons for your pain and custom design a plan to you, thanks Suzanna and the team at total balance hamilton
I highly recommend total balance chiropractic, I have been seeing James since January to be honest I didn’t think that seeing a chiropractor would make that much difference to my back and neck pain. I am totally amazed with the changes that I have noticed, my back and neck pain is almost but all gone, I’m standing straighter/taller, I am sleeping better. After each adjustment I feel that little bit better, it takes time as does everything. Not only James but all the staff are amazing they make you feel like part of the family love going in there
A sincere thank you to Dr Susannah Gilder and the formidable team who provide an incredible service. My goal was to reset my central nervous system, and the experience has been excellent. Likewise, I recently introduced my 80yo mother to the ABC technique which is already reducing her chronic pain levels, which have been prevalent and excruciating for years.
Susannah is all about improving quality of life. As a fellow chiropractor, I appreciate how she personalises her care to make real, lasting changes. Thoughtful, caring, and dedicated to helping people thrive.
Dr Tom and the team at Total Balance are nothing short of amazing. Very friendly, knowledgeable and results driven. I have done chiropractic over the years but. It like this. Their wholistic approach and knowledge of overall physiology and how to get you from pain and miserable to correcting your posture!
Fantastic service & amazing customer care. I can really feel the benefits both physically and mentally. I would definitely recommend.
Great practice, friendly staff and practitioners, explain everything well.
I have been warmly welcomed as a new patient after moving from interstate. I feel like I've hit the jackpot thanks to my previous chiros recommendation to continue my care here. Plus, there is an in house remedial massage therapist (whom I also recommend)! Though I will be eventually moving from the area, I plan to continue travelling back for ongoing care. Thanks guys! Kelly.
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 am able to turn my head much easier and this is important to me as I am a motorcycle rider and need to perform head checks regularly when riding.I would recommend this business if you need help such as I did.
Incredible service and amazing results - always leave feeling re-energised and ready to train
I have had a number of incidents throughout life that has caused problems with my back, neck and hips. Chiropractic care has relieved my pain and has given me more freedom in movement as well as a greater feeling of general wellbeing.
The team is always so lovely. I first went to James with terrible pain in my neck/shoulder and he really assisted. Rather than treat the symptom only, I've been on a plan and my posture has improved significantly over the last few months. Endonasal has been a game changer to my sinuses and I haven't had a tension headache in months!
I have been having treatments with Suz for about a month and I feel structurally so much stronger and less crunchy. I look forward to each session and can't wait to see results in 6 months, the results so far have been impressive.
These guys are friendly, Professional and results focused. I’ve been impressed with what’s been achieved in a short space of time
I would highly recommend Total Balance Chiropractic. I have had good results working with James. The practice is well run and very efficient.
Excellent service in getting u on the right track to taking care of your body
Matt got magic hands! What an amazing bodyworker. Very skilled and intuitive. He is certainly fixing my body‘s aches and pains. I can HIGHLY recommend him.
For over a decade Total Balance Chiro has been my go to whenever I feel out of whack . Always helps
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!
Always feel better when I leave. Different to most chiropractors and a gentler treatment
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!
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.
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 great experience all round. Great people, comfortable atmosphere, efficient and result driven adjustments.
I have been visiting this great clinic for 8 years. I have been treated by all three clinicians over this period of time and found them professional, caring, knowledgeable and supportive. I would highly recommend Total Balance Chiropractic clinic to assist you in maintaining good health throughout your body.
Amazing staff and the treatment has changed my life. I move freely, sleep better and my overall well-being has improved. Thanks Tom and the team
In the past, chiro appointments kept me pain and headache free for 8 weeks at the most. 1 or 2 sessions with these guys and I'm headache and painfree for up to 18mths. Highly recommended
Life changing place this one! Tom has worked magic on my back to improve my quality of life massively and everyone at the practise is friendly and warm. Highly recommend
The team at total balance have been fantastic. They are clear and concise with their diagnosis and explanation of your conditions and subsequent treatment. I have made great progress with Total Balance and I would recommend anyone with back issues to check them out. 10/10
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!
Tom and the team have been fantastic, helpful and friendly. They have made a huge difference to mine and my husband's health, including a chronic injury. Cannot recommend them enough.
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! Keep up the great work!
Total balance are extremely good ,I have back injuries and my wife has bad arthritis, we see Tom and he has really fixed my back .I had tried philosophy and other chiropractic clinics but what James and Tom do is so much better different to the other chiropractic practitioners but it really works I can’t recommend them enough it just works Mick odoherty
Tom at Total Balance has helped me a lot since I started coming here. I always walk out feeling great.
Very friendly staff Was a sceptic after treatment years ago Have restored faith in ABC version of Chiro and am happy with progressive improvements that have transpired in the last two months I’m now optimistic that the real benefit in the small of my back will progressively improve over the next months Thanks to James Tom and front desk lovely ladies !
Very pleased with the chiropractic care I receive. Easy to book process via online system and the friendly staff make the minimal waiting time pleasant.
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.
Total Balance Chiropractic has dedicated chiropractors who keep me aligned through the spine which optimises my nervous system and helps manage occassional injuries. I always feel better after being adjusted by James or Tom and love seeing the ladies friendly faces at reception. Everyone is so helpful. I highly recommend Total Balance Chiropractic!
The most incredibly kind and wonderful staff. Could not recommend enough !!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Always friendly, polite and very professional. Tom takes the time to fully explain the whole process whilst giving you healthy tips to help improve your posture. Highly recommend.
All the staff at Total Balance are terrific and James and Tom will get you straightened up and feeling like new.
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
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.
James and his team are great to deal with and his treatments have been beneficial for me. Highly recommended.
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 would highly recommend James and the team at Total Balance. Very friendly, highly knowledgeable and amazing at what they do!
James and his team do fantastic diligent and caring Chiropractic work improving the lives and mobility of adults and children alike. Highly recommend Total Balance Chiropractic
James and the team are wonderful, I got my teenage kids there and the team looked after them, explained everything they were doing and now the kids look forward to going. Highly recommend the team at Total Balance Chiropractic! Thanks for everything guys.
Very thorough, sensible, clinical approach to issues and scope of treatment. Highly recommended.
James at Total Balance greatly improved my movement and decreased pain in my back. Learned a great deal about posture and caring for my spine. My sleep has also improved after seeing James. Highly recommend the very friendly team at Total Balance.
After having headaches and postural issues for years, Tom has been able to make significant changes over the past few months. My before and after photos are remarkable and my headaches have become all but a thing of the past. The entire experience at Total Balance Chiropractic has been enjoyable and educational, and I highly recommend their services.
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.
i’ve been coming here for a few months after injuring my back and these adjustments have changed my life! i used to be so scared of chiropractors but tom has been amazing and is always gentle!! i would 100% recommend coming here
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!!
After my back going again i have finally given in to getting it fixed, but now after only a couple of visits it's feeling better already and Tom is talking about working towards removal of my orthotics which i have had in for 30 years. great team highly recommended
