Meet The Team
- OUR WHY
Meet Your Chiropractors in Sunbury & Melton
1. Tell us about your business and how it started.
​
Health Wise Chiropractic was born from something very simple—I wanted to give back to the town that helped shape me.
Growing up in Sunbury, I experienced firsthand what makes this community so special. The support I received here played a huge role in helping me achieve my dream of studying chiropractic, and once I graduated, there was never really another place I wanted to build a clinic.
From day one, the vision wasn't just to open another chiropractic practice. We wanted to create somewhere that felt welcoming, relaxed and genuinely caring—a place where patients felt like they were walking into a friend's home rather than another cold, clinical medical building.
Healthcare doesn't have to feel intimidating. We believe it should feel comfortable, affordable and personal. Whether you're visiting us for the first time or you've been with us for years, our goal is for you to leave feeling better than when you arrived—and hopefully with a smile on your face as well.
​
2. What is the mission or core purpose of your business?
Our mission is simple:
To provide exceptional spinal and muscular healthcare that is accessible, affordable and centred around the individual.
Everyone's health journey is different. Some people simply want to wake up without neck pain. Others want to get back to running, lifting their grandchildren, working comfortably or enjoying a weekend in the garden.
Whatever your goal is, we want to play a small part in helping you achieve it.
We often tell our patients that we focus on "spinal and muscle hygiene." Just like brushing your teeth keeps your mouth healthy, looking after your spine and muscles helps keep you moving well throughout life.
​
3. What makes your business unique?
One of the biggest frustrations we hear from patients is having to visit multiple practitioners for the same injury.
Our approach is different.
Rather than referring patients from one clinic to another, we combine multiple evidence-informed treatment techniques within the one appointment when clinically appropriate.
Depending on the individual, treatment may include:
-
Chiropractic care
-
Massage therapy
-
Dry needling
-
Cupping
-
High-Level Laser Therapy
-
Focused Shockwave Therapy
-
Spinal Decompression Therapy
This means patients receive a more comprehensive treatment plan from a practitioner who understands their entire condition—not just one part of it.
Our goal is simple: help people recover faster, move better and require fewer appointments overall.
​
4. What problems do your clients come to you with, and how do you solve them?
Our typical patient is usually between their late 30s and mid-40s—when life's little aches and pains stop disappearing overnight.
We regularly help:
-
Teachers
-
Nurses
-
Tradies
-
Office and desk workers
-
Parents
-
Retirees
The majority of conditions we see are caused by either repetitive movement or, just as commonly, not enough movement.
Common complaints include:
Rather than relying on a single treatment approach, we combine hands-on care with movement advice, rehabilitation exercises and education so patients understand why they're experiencing pain—and what they can do to prevent it returning.
​
5. What are your main services?
At Health Wise Chiropractic we offer a wide range of conservative musculoskeletal treatments, including:
-
Chiropractic Care – posture, spinal health, neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain and lower back pain.
-
Massage Therapy – muscle tension, recovery and chronic muscular pain.

Sports and exercise-related injuries
-
Muscle and joint pain
-
Postural and movement-related concerns
-
Plantar fasciitis and other lower-limb complaints
Your chiropractor will assess your individual presentation and discuss whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you.
​
What happens at my first chiropractic appointment?
​
Your first appointment begins with a discussion about your symptoms, health history and what you would like help with.
Your chiropractor will then perform an appropriate physical examination, which may include movement, orthopaedic, neurological and functional assessments.
We'll explain our findings, discuss suitable management options and answer your questions before proceeding with care.
​
Will I receive treatment at my first appointment?
Treatment may be provided at your first appointment when your chiropractor considers it appropriate following your history and examination.
If further investigation or referral is indicated before treatment, we'll discuss this with you.
​
What treatments do your chiropractors use?
Treatment is tailored to the individual and may include:
Chiropractic adjustments, mobilisation, massage and soft-tissue techniques, stretching, dry needling, cupping, exercise and rehabilitation.
Where appropriate, we may also incorporate High-Level Laser Therapy, Focused Shockwave Therapy or Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression into a management plan.
Not every treatment is appropriate for every condition, so recommendations are based on your assessment and clinical presentation.
​
Do you provide exercises for patients?
Yes. Exercise and rehabilitation are an important part of care for many patients.
Health Wise Chiropractic uses Physitrack to provide personalised exercise programs that patients can follow between appointments. Programs may be progressed as strength, mobility and function improve.
​
Do you treat sports injuries?
Yes. We regularly assess and manage musculoskeletal problems associated with sport and exercise.
This includes presentations involving the spine, shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, ankles and feet. Treatment and rehabilitation are tailored to the injury, sport and individual goals.
​
Can I choose the type of treatment I prefer?
​
Absolutely. We encourage patients to tell us what has worked well for them previously and what they are comfortable with.
Some patients prefer chiropractic adjustments, while others prefer more soft-tissue work, stretching, rehabilitation or a combination of approaches.
Your preferences are considered alongside what is clinically appropriate for your presentation.
​
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
​
No. You can generally book directly with Health Wise Chiropractic without a referral.
Patients attending under certain funded programs or care arrangements may require appropriate referral documentation.
​
Do you accept Medicare Chronic Condition Management referrals?
Yes. We accept eligible GP referrals under Medicare's Chronic Condition Management arrangements.
If you have been referred by your GP, please bring your referral information with you or arrange for your medical clinic to send it to us before your appointment.
​
If you book directly via our website or phone , we bulk bill
​
We do not bulk bill if you book via third-party apps like HOTDOC due to their fee structure.

Standard Return Consultation — $65
Concession Consultation — $58
