Southside Health Care

Established:

Dr Ben Wingfield, chiropractor started Southside Health Care as a sole practitioner in 2000 at our former premises in Old Reynella.  Over the years the Southside Health Care team has grown to two chiropractors, two massage therapists and three admin staff.  In June 2012 we moved to our new larger clinic in Noarlunga Centre.

Location:

Southside Health Care is located within the swimming pool complex of Noarlunga Leisure Centre on Seaman Rd, Noarlunga Centre. The leisure Centre is a facility with a wide range of sporting and recreational facilities including gym, pool & sauna as well as a café / kiosk www.noarlungalc.com.au.  For further detail of our location see our ‘Find Us’ Page.
Consulting Hours:

At Southside Health Care, we understand that it is often difficult to attend appointments during normal business hours, and have extended opening hours.  Our clinic is open late for appointments four evenings a week.  Once a month, we also open Saturday morning – usually the first Saturday of each month.

Our Aquarium:

Southside Health Care boasts a large salt water fish tank in the reception area.  The aquarium is basically a little piece of the Great Barrier Reef in Adelaide, complete with fish, live coral and anemones etc. Kids love to watch the real live Nemo, Dory & friends, while adults find it a relaxing way to pass the time until their appointment. It has been Dr Ben’s pride and joy since shortly after establishing the clinic in 2000.

Private Health Funds:

Full rebates apply for treatment provided by Southside Healthcare’s chiropractors and massage therapists from private health funds with extras cover. We have HICAPS www.hicaps.com.au facilities so that in the majority of cases patients are able to claim their rebate on the spot, and will only have to pay the gap. The chiropractors at Southside Healthcare part of Bupa’s Members’ First Network, meaning that BUPA members will receive an increased rebate.  To find how much rebate you will receive, please check with your insurance company.

Free Consultation & Exam

We offer the opportunity for potential new patients to have a brief consultation & examination with one of our chiropractors at no charge. This may be of advantage to people who are unsure whether treatment at our clinic is appropriate for them. Note that no treatment is included in this offer.

X-rays:

Southside Health Care chiropractors do not necessarily require X-rays to commence treatment.  Whether X-rays are required is clinical decision based on the presentation of the individual patient.  In practice, the majority of cases don’t require X-rays.  If you have previous relevant X-rays, please bring them to your initial appointment.  If we do require new X-rays, we refer out to private radiologists, usually Dr Jones & Partners www.i-medsa.com.au at Noarlunga Hospital or Morphett Vale who, in most cases, will bulk bill to Medicare.

Department of Veterans’ Affairs:

Southside Health Care chiropractors are registered with DVA, & we are happy to welcome all Gold Card holders, and appropriate White Card holders with all fees billed to DVA.  You will need a referral from your GP.

Medicare Bulk Billing

At Southside Health Care, our chiropractors are fully registered with Medicare and we are happy to bulk bill patients who have a Medicare EPC health plan which has chiropractic referral. Under the Medicare system, allied health providers (including chiropractors) are only able to bill to Medicare if the patient has been referred by their GP under a Medicare EPC health plan (sometimes also called a CDM plan).  Such a referral will cover up to five appointments per year. To be eligible for an EPC referral, you need to have a chronic health condition.

Reviews

“I have been having massage therapy with Pam Collins for a while now and my fibromyalgia pain has decreased and my migraines have reduced from 3-5 a week to 1 a week. I highly recommend Pam for massage therapy. She is wonderful! Thanks Pam :)”

“I had a wry neck that’s given me trouble Ben has looked after me, he fit me in and looked after my neck with great care!! Thanks Ben your a miracle worker!”

“I have been seeing Ben at Southside Chiropractic for many years now, he is the only person I trust to adjust my back and neck. Would highly recommend anybody wanting a great Chiropractor to see Ben. =’.’=”

“I used a few Chiropractors before trying Southside Healthcare and would say Ben is the best around. I would also recommend Pam for massage.”

“Wonderful, caring people and really good chiropractors. They also just recommend the treatment you need and don’t try to tie you in to a long term contract, which has been my experience elsewhere.”
