More and more, patients seeking to restore and improve their health are looking towards holistic methods of treatment. It was from this need that the Healthwise clinics were born. With branches in Eastwood and North Sydney, Healthwise offers an extensive range of therapies and products to help patients find their optimal health. The practitioners at Healthwise treat every patient as a unique individual, designing a program for each person that consists of a therapy or a combination of therapies. The program is designed to ensure not only full physical health, but also mental, emotional and social wellbeing.

Western medicine often treats the symptom of an illness, and we have grown to see health as the absence of disease. At Healthwise our professional team of practitioners work together and across fields to combine their knowledge in the quest to find the optimal combination of therapies for each patient. Some of the therapies that we offer include acupuncture, homeotherapy, shiatsu, therapeutic message and naturopathy. A comprehensive list of our therapies and products is available at www.healthwise.com.au

With the current medical aid system, direct claims are presently only set up for our osteopaths and chiropractors. As Healthwise offers a lot of alternative therapies, it is wise to consult with your medical aid about the process of claims. Depending on your health scheme, most therapies will be able to be claimed directly. The amount you can claim back will depend on the type and grade of cover that you have.

The first time that you come into a Healthwise clinic, you will go through a comprehensive diagnosis by one of our practitioners. Because we treat every patient as an individual and everybody as a whole, we will need a longer time during your first appointment to have a thorough discussion about your health history and current status. To get a clearer idea of how to treat your disease, it is necessary for us to know how long you've been ill, how the problem is affecting your life and also to perform a full physical examination. There are special times set aside every day specifically for new patients. For the names of the practitioners who will see new patients and for the time, consult our website at www.healthwiseonline.com.au.

As much as the treatments are different for every individual, so is the recovery time and process. After the treatments, practitioners can give you recommendations and options for further practices or lifestyle changes that might include exercise, diet or supplements. The more enthusiastic you are about healing, the faster the process of recovery will be. We are simple giving you the tools so that your body can heal itself!
