Chiropractic Care for Busy Parents in Bathurst

Helping Bathurst Parents Stay Pain-Free, Energised, and Present for Their Families

Parenthood Can Be Tough on Your Body—We’re Here to Help

If you’re a parent in Bathurst juggling children, work, and everything in between, chances are you’ve put your own health last. Whether it’s lifting toddlers, carrying baby capsules, bending for bath time, or simply keeping up with your kids—these repetitive movements take a serious toll on your spine.

As Dr Ben Purcell, lead chiropractor and founder of Bathurst Chiropractic, I see it every week. Parents walk in sore, stressed, and running on empty. And after a few visits, they walk out lighter—literally and emotionally.

Why Parents Often Experience Back, Neck, and Shoulder Pain

Being a parent means constant motion and minimal rest. Here’s how that impacts your body:

Repetitive Lifting: Picking up babies, toddlers, school bags—often over 20 times a day.
Poor Posture: Nursing, feeding, and screen time with kids can create tension in the mid and upper back.
Lack of Sleep and Stress: Mental load and sleep deprivation add to physical fatigue and stiffness.

You’re not alone—and chiropractic care offers a natural, effective way to reset your body and reduce stress.

The team at Bathurst Chiropractic were awesome to work for. My understanding of chiropractic care went from minimal , to a very comprehensive understanding and I benefited personally from being adjusted regularly.I would highly recommend this practice and type of care if you have any issues or for general wellness.

Ben is a great chiro. I came to Bathurst from Sydney just over a year ago & when I first got here I was looking for someone to get adjustments. I was only used to a chiro who would get you in & out as quickly as possible not someone who actually did an assessment on you & wanted to listen to you. I can't recommend Ben & the team highly enough. They do make you feel like your part of the family when you first walk in as they actually remember your name. If your looking for someone to not just give you an adjustment but to care about you, look no further than ben

Dr Ben and Dr Talissa are simply the best Chiro Bathurst has to offer. They are holistic chiropractors which was a very different experience from all other chiropractors I have visited before. Dr Ben took the time to actually properly diagnose my chronic migraines. After a number of treatments and exercises I was given to correct my underlying issues, I am down from DAILY migraines to only now having 1 minor headache in the past 30 days. I wish I came earlier.

Corey Howard

Bathurst Chiropractic is a warm and caring place everyone is very friendly there! I would highly recommend this service to anyone who is strugging with pain management and balance issues caused by degenerative osteoarthritis!I have never been to a chiropractor before or a Kinesiologist, so I was very nervous. The first appointment and adjustment with Talissa, was amazing she is so calming and reassuring and all my nerves immediately eased. I was shocked at how out of balance I was. The x-rays were surprising, too. I had 3 months of extensive work on my vagus nerve system 3 times a week alignment visits, reduced to twice a week. I have been 4 weeks post leaving after my balance dramatically reduced to within normal range. I continue to stay focused on listening to my body's needs through medition throughout my vagus nerve system. Thank you Talissa, you have changed my life and I greatly appreciate all you have helped me with and thank youtoall the staff who make every day warm and inviting.
