My passion is to help my patients live pain free in their daily lives or sport.
Every treatment plan is unique for each of my patients, utilising hands-on techniques such as remedial massage, chiropractic adjustments, and joint mobilisation.
These treatments are complemented by tailored rehabilitative exercises designed to relax overworked muscles while strengthening weaker ones.
Who We Can Help
Our Chatswood chiropractic clinic is open to patients of all ages and lifestyles. Spinal issues are experienced by over 16% of Australians (4 million) and can be caused by work, sport, injury, and disease.
Office workers: Extended periods of sitting and poor desk posture can cause spinal problems and symptoms like lower back and neck pain. Chiropractic care will involve pain relief and promoting proper posture.
Sports enthusiasts: Chiropractic services tailored for athletes and individuals with active lifestyles. By ensuring the proper alignment of your spine, good range of motion, and minimised tension, we can prevent the risk of injury and increase physical performance.
Pregnancy: Providing effective relief for sore back, neck pain, shoulder strains, and pain around the pelvis. We understand the pressure and strain that pregnancy can have on your body and provide you with greater comfort.
Trade Workers: Manual work involving heavy or repeated lifting can impact the back and spine. We deliver chiropractic treatment to address aches, stiffness, and mobility issues, as well as provide strategies for improving your health and mobility at work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a Chiropractor appointment?
What is included in your chiropractic appointment will vary depending on the nature and severity of your injury, as well as what type of appointment you booked. However, every appointment with your Chiropractor will include a full body assessment. The chiro will assess your spine and nervous system, provide hands-on treatment of your injury, and give you a chiropractic adjustment.
We don’t stop here though. We will provide a full program of corrective exercises and stretches for the following days, weeks, and months – all dependent on the severity of your condition, and the chiropractor’s examination and diagnosis.
Every patient requires different personalised treatment (that our Chatswood chiros are delighted to provide). Some people seek care for neck pain, some are dealing with chronic back pain, for others it’s lower back pain or a variety of musculoskeletal issues. While our initial goal is to always provide temporary relief after injuries (and to relieve pain altogether) – we also want to ensure your chiropractic care addresses the underlying cause of pain, to improve your overall health and wellbeing.
How long are chiropractic appointments?
We offer the following appointments to suit your condition and budget:
-
New Patient Exclusive | Initial Consultation, Examination & Diagnosis | $55
-
Follow up | Adjustments only | 15 minutes
-
Follow up | Massage & Adjustments | 30 minutes
-
Follow up | Massage & Adjustments | 45 minutes – Extended session for multiple injuries or complex conditions.
Are chiropractic adjustments painful?
No, chiropractic adjustments generally do not cause any pain. During adjustments, chiros apply gentle pressure and specific motions to correct the spine’s alignment. You may feel a mild discomfort similar to post-workout soreness.
Can I continue with my regular exercise routine while undergoing chiropractic treatment?
Your chiropractor will generally advise against any strenuous exercise to avoid further injury to your spine. Depending on the condition of the injury, you may be able to perform light exercises such as walking or stretching. Your treatment may also prescribe specific strengthening exercises that should be carried out at home.
Do you accept workers' compensation claims?
Yes, our chiropractic services in Chatswood can be claimed under the NSW workers compensation scheme. In general, if you have sustained a physical injury in the line of work or due to a workplace accident, it will usually be covered under WorkCover.
How many sessions will I need with a Chiropractor?
Most spinal pain and injuries will take up to 4 weeks to recover completely, but more severe conditions may require ongoing treatment. After a physical assessment, your chiropractor will provide a rough timeline for how many sessions are required. Your progress will be monitored throughout the treatment plan to ensure a swift recovery.
Do I need a referral to see a Chiropractor in Chatswood?
No - you do not need a referral to get an appointment with a chiropractor in Chatswood, because they are Primary Health Practitioners (just like a GP or physiotherapist). So, if you are struggling with pain or injury, there’s no need to waste any time - simply get in touch with our chiropractic care team, and we can get straight to it.
However, if you have already been to see a GP, physio, or any other health professional related to your injury – we encourage you to bring along any information (such as X-rays) that will be relevant to your chiropractor.
Do I need to bring anything with me to the chiropractic appointment?
If you have had a previous appointment with your GP or specialist - please remember to bring any relevant notes or X-rays. For private health fund members, you will also need to bring your card so that you can make a claim.
We suggest wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing so that our chiropractors can properly assess your injury, evaluate possible problem areas, provide manual therapy, or get you stretching and moving. If you are a runner, walker, or you play sports, it is a good idea to wear the footwear that you typically wear when exercising.
Is chiropractic care covered by Medicare?
Chiropractic treatment is not typically covered under Medicare. However, individuals with chronic medical conditions such as osteoarthritis or recurring back pain can apply for a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan under Medicare, which covers up to 5 allied health sessions each year.
