Dr Conrad Hor

Head of Clinical Development · Wellbeing Chiropractic Baulkham Hills

I’m Dr Conrad Hor, practice partner at Wellbeing Chiropractic and an AHPRA registered chiropractor at our Baulkham Hills clinic on Railway St. I studied exercise and sport science at the University of Sydney before chiropractic arrived through a Graduate Diploma and a Master of Chiropractic Science at Macquarie, so I read bodies by how they move under load, not only where they hurt. As the network’s Head of Clinical Development I spend part of my week training our chiropractors, and my own consulting keeps a special interest in paediatrics, TMJ and upper cervical care. Every case still starts with the same short question: why.

What I see most often in Baulkham Hills

The jaw your dentist flagged first

Clicking on one side when you chew, and a night guard already in the bathroom drawer. The jaw and the upper neck work as a pair, so I assess them together rather than treating the joint on its own.

Saturday sport at Ted Horwood Reserve

Sore after weekend sport, or a parent has noticed a head tilt when reading, or a slouch that wasn’t there last term. Children get checked differently here: everything is gentler, matched to their age, and a parent is beside them the whole time.

The headache the new pillow didn’t fix

It sits under the skull on the M2 bus into town and creeps forward across the workday, and the pillow change hasn’t helped a bit. When the top joints of the neck are the driver, I have specific ways to assess and address that, including Atlas Orthogonal work.

On the surface these three don’t have much in common. What they share is where I begin: with the question of what’s actually driving the problem. Sometimes the answer shows up in minutes. Sometimes it takes a longer history and a careful look at how you move. Either way, you’ll hear my reasoning before you receive any care, because treatment without a cause is a shot in the dark, and those rarely hold.

Movement was my first degree

I studied exercise and sport science at the University of Sydney before I ever thought seriously about chiropractic. That degree trained me to look at how a body moves under load, not only where it hurts, and it still runs underneath every assessment I do. Chiropractic came afterwards, through a Graduate Diploma and then a Master of Chiropractic Science at Macquarie University.

These days I practise at our Baulkham Hills clinic on Railway St, and I’m also Head of Clinical Development for Wellbeing Chiropractic, so part of my week is spent helping our chiropractors sharpen how they assess and adjust. Teaching a technique forces you to understand it properly. My patients get the benefit of that as much as the team does.

In 2021 I was named Chiropractor of the Year. I’m proud of it, but an award doesn’t adjust anyone. What actually brings people back, I think, is simpler: they can tell I care about the result they came in for, and I won’t pretend we’ve reached it before we have.

First, find the actual problem

A first visit with me is mostly questions and assessment. I take a full history, then I watch how you move, because the spot that hurts and the spot that’s underperforming are often two different places. Once I’m confident about the cause, I explain it in plain language. Only then do we talk about treatment.

I’ve deliberately trained across a wide range of techniques: Gonstead, Activator, SOT, Thompson drop-piece work, Y-strap traction and Atlas Orthogonal. Breadth matters because it lets me fit the care to the person in front of me, from firm and specific through to approaches gentle enough for a small child. And if what I find isn’t a chiropractic problem, that’s exactly what you’ll hear from me plainly and suggest who to see instead.

“If an improvement is going to last, you have to find the real problem first. That’s the whole job.”

Dr Conrad Hor · Chiropractor

How I work in the treatment room

Gonstead

Specific, hands-on adjusting guided by detailed assessment of individual spinal segments. When a firm, precise approach is the right fit, this is usually mine.

Atlas Orthogonal

Precise measurements first, then a gentle instrument-based correction of the atlas, the top vertebra in the neck. No twisting, no cracking.

Activator Methods

An instrument that clicks a precise pulse into the joint, gentler than manual adjusting. It gives a quick, measured impulse. One of the gentler options in the kit, and often what I reach for with children and older patients.

Thompson drop-piece

The table does part of the work, giving way slightly as the adjustment is made so less force travels through you.

SOT

Sacro Occipital Technique works on the link between the pelvis and the base of the skull, often using padded blocks and gravity rather than thrust.

Questions patients ask

Yes, TMJ care is one of my special interests. I assess the jaw and the upper neck together because they share muscles and mechanics, and one often irritates the other. Bring along anything your dentist has given you, a night guard included, and I’m happy to coordinate care with them so both ends of the problem are looked after.

Yes, paediatrics is a special interest of mine, and care for children looks nothing like adult care. I use very low-force approaches, usually the Activator instrument or gentle SOT blocking rather than manual adjusting, and a parent stays with the child for the whole visit. If what I find needs a GP or paediatrician first, I’ll say so before anything else happens.

Less than most people expect. It’s a low-force technique focused on the atlas, the top vertebra in the neck. I take precise measurements first, then deliver the correction with an instrument. There’s no twisting and no cracking, which is exactly why I trained in it. Some necks, and some patients, do better with a gentler road.

Yes. Baulkham Hills runs HICAPS across the major funds, so where your extras policy includes chiropractic the rebate happens at the desk and the gap is settled on the day. Have your fund card with you.

No. For a standard private appointment you can book straight in with the Baulkham Hills clinic on (02) 9896 3460. Set aside a little extra time for the first visit, because the history and assessment are the part I won’t rush. If you have recent X-rays or scan reports, bring them along.
