About Dr. Tim Linklater

"Growing up, I saw firsthand the positive impact Chiropractic care had on my family. Then from working with Chiropractors in work experience, I knew I’d found my calling.

Fourteen years later and I still love what I do. In fact, Chiropractic has become the family trade, both my brother and sister-in-law are also practising chiropractors.

At Genius Chiropractic in Newcastle, my focus is on Neuro-Structural Correction. Rather than simply chasing symptoms, I look for underlying structural shifts in the spine that may be affecting neurological function and contributing to ongoing problems." See full bio.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about your visit.

What is a Structural Shift?

While no-one is structurally perfect, there is a normal healthy range.

In the same manner, we can understand what a fever is because we know what the normal temperature is, or what constitutes high blood pressure because we are aware of the normal range.

There are established norms everywhere we look, including gauges and warning lights on the dash board of your car, letting you know when things are abnormal.

At Genius Chiropractic, we are looking for a significant, three dimensional shift of the spine, away from normal. If the head and neck shift in three directions, it will cause the shoulders to twist and the hips to shift, forcing the entire spine out of alignment.

These Shifts cause the muscles to spasm, the ligaments to deform and disrupts NERVES travelling down the spinal cord. In other words, the main communication system that connects your brain to your body can be disrupted, something that our chiropractor in Newcastle, trained in neurostructural care, aims to correct.

What makes Neuro-Structural Chiropractic different from traditional chiropractic?

While we are highly experienced in using traditional chiropractic manual therapy and adjustment techniques, Neuro-Structural Chiropractic focuses on identifying and correcting problematic or long-standing structural shifts in the spine that interfere with the nervous system, rather than providing short-term symptom or pain relief.

Do I need to be in pain to see a chiropractor?

No. Many people visit a chiropractor in Newcastle to improve posture, movement, and overall neurological function, even if pain is not their main concern. View our services to see our most commonly covered areas or speak to us today.

Is Neuro-Structural Chiropractic suitable for children?

Yes. A qualified Newcastle chiropractor can adapt neurostructural care for all ages, using gentle and specific techniques to support healthy development in children.

How do you assess structural shifts in the spine?

During your initial session at our Kotara, Newcastle clinic, our chiropractor conducts a thorough neurostructural examination to assess spinal stability, alignment, and neurological function before any care begins. We can employ any scans or X-rays as required.

How long does chiropractic care usually take?

Care plans vary depending on individual findings. Your chiropractor will outline a personalised approach based on how long structural patterns have been present and how the body responds to care, however if there is reasonable information available to suggest safe and effective treatment can be conducting in your first session this is possible and will be discussed with you first.
