🌿 Is it really sciatica… or your piriformis muscle playing tricks?

That deep ache down your buttock or leg isn’t always coming from your lower back.

The piriformis muscle — a small but powerful stabiliser deep in your glutes — can tighten or spasm, irritating the sciatic nerve as it passes underneath.

The result? Pain that feels exactly like sciatica.

At Barefoot Chiro, we often see this kind of pain melt away with a simple combination of dry needling to release the piriformis and a gentle drop-table adjustment to realign the SI joint (sacroiliac joint).

The result: less tension, freer movement, and relief that lasts.

If you’ve been told you have “sciatica” but it hasn’t improved — it might be worth checking your piriformis instead. 💪

📍 Book in for an assessment today and start feeling the difference naturally.

Struggling to get moving in the morning?

If pain greets you before your feet even hit the floor, it’s your body’s way of asking for help. Morning pain and stiffness can be a sign of inflammation, tension, or stress on your joints and muscles that’s built up overnight.

At Barefoot Chiro, we look beyond the pain to uncover why it’s happening — helping your body move more freely, feel stronger, and wake up with ease again.

Because mornings should begin with energy, not discomfort.

Chiropractic care isn’t just about easing pain — it’s about helping your body move the way it was made to.

At Barefoot Chiro, we focus on:
✨ Gentle, natural adjustments
🧠 Nervous system balance
💪 Long-term strength and movement

Whether you’re chasing after kids, training for a run, or simply want to feel amazing again — we’ll help you get back to moving naturally and feeling strong.

Hi Carina Community!

Niki here from The Barefoot Chiro in Carina.

As well as being a Chiropractor for over 16 years, I have also been (and still am) a Registered Nurse in critical care/trauma for for over 25 years. I am proud of the fact that I have a wide knowledge and experience in the health field and have been able to stay practicing in both roles since I qualified.

At the Barefoot Chiro, we offer Chiropractic services at our clinic but many may not know that we also offer Drip IV wellness infusions and Health Coaching programs as part of our wellness support.

My landing page for the infusions has just been completed, so if you want to know anything about the wellness infusion space, please feel free to call/book a free chat/pop in and say hi.

With our infusions we offer:
- relaxing space to chill away from the mayhem of home or work
- complimentary relaxation in our Therapii chair during your infusion
- a nurturing experience, where I get to take care of you!

Teaching girls to be strong 💪

Proud mum moment - I love her look of determination and grit.

Right now, our teens are at such a pivotal stage — where phones, endless scrolling, and lack of movement can take a real toll on both physical and mental health. That’s why helping them build strength, resilience, and confidence matters more than ever.

Let’s raise girls who know their worth, feel powerful in their bodies, and carry that determination into every part of their lives. 🌟

We’re loving our new collaboration with Fernwood Carindale 🎧🏋️‍♂️💪👟

Let’s talk about kids with neck pain and headaches.

It’s rarely just dehydration — more often, it can be a sign of an underlying spinal issue, such as scoliosis. These changes can develop quietly, but the signs are there if you know what to look for.

👉 Over the school holidays, we’re offering complimentary scoliosis screenings with every child Initial Assessment (ages 8 and above).

Don’t ignore the signs. A small step now could make a big difference to your child’s future health and wellbeing.

📅 Bookings are essential — message us or book online to secure your spot.
