Spine Align Melrose is a modern Chiropractic Centre located in the Old Post Office of Melrose in the beautiful Southern Flinders Ranges, South Australia.
The foundation of the practice is built on health conscious and active individuals and families seeking a natural, safe and effective management of their health so they can live life comfortably to their full potential.
Chiropractic aims to improve your nervous system function by improving alignment and mobility in the spine and pelvis. When your nervous system is free of pressure it functions as it should so your whole body works better.
Chiropractic is effective, safe and honest specialising in comfortable hands-on treatment for conditions of the spine and nervous system, muscles of the body and for sports and other injuries. Chiros are university trained practitioners passionate about what they do.
Many people seek Chiropractic initially due to back and neck related issues, but many people continue with them because they feel great and continue to have treatment with their families visiting for regular care also. Other patients are referred to Chiros by GPs, Nutritionists, Massage Therapists, Physiotherapists, Podiatrists, Coaches and many more. Chiropractors are complimentary to all these professions and are proud to be the choice for so many who know proper alignment is a key to top level performance so they stay balanced and at full strength in training and competition.
I was born and raised in Henley Beach, South Australia where I still reside and predominantly work. After high school, I completed 6 years of training at Macquarie University, Sydney achieving an Exercise and Sports Science Degree and a Master of Chiropractic.
Due to my love for the outdoors and desire to contribute economically within a sustainable country community, I aligned these two passions and began consulting in beautiful Melrose, a place of fond memories having frequented many times since my adolescence. It’s been humbling and rewarding offering my service to the local community and witnessing the health benefits they achieve whilst practicing in a stunning region of SA that I hold dear.
I work with local families, children and sports people whilst broadening my scope of practice learning many different expert techniques. Some of these techniques I am proficient in include manual manipulation, exercise prescription, low force Chiropractic techniques, soft tissue therapies, Western Acupuncture and Dry Needling, Kinesio Taping, and other sports injury modalities.
I believe the treatment I give specifically for your needs should not only be helpful, but also cost effective. Importantly, I pay attention and listen to you. I am committed to helping you improve your health quickly and efficiently inspiring and strengthening you to reach your health goals.
I have a keen interest in health, fitness and nutrition and am driven to not only correctly diagnose your problem and treat the symptoms, but to understand the cause of it and to educate you of your problem clearly and advise how to prevent it from happening in future. I don’t only treat back and neck pain, but in fact address all pain related to the spine, pelvis, nervous system and all joints and muscles of the body.
A diagnosis and treatment of the problem, and importantly, to address the underlying cause by initially taking a complete medical history and performing a careful and thorough neurological and musculoskeletal examination. After this process, we spend time to educate you on how your problem occurred and how to care for it immediately.
If further investigation is required such as X-Rays, I will arrange to refer you for these. Assuming no further investigation is required, a gentle, safe and effective treatment will occur. The treatment of choice is wide and varied, depending on your condition, but imperatively based on the latest evidence-based practice methods.
After treatment, I teach you how to carefully manage the problem while it is healing along with up-to-date health and nutrition advice so you can continue along your normal life activities and training programs with minimal pain.
As your treatment plan progresses over the coming weeks, I’ll prescribe you a recovery and rehabilitation plan so the problem can be healed quicker and prevented from returning in future. This includes advice on lifestyle modifications, exercise prescription and important dietary changes.
We are located in the Old Post Office of Melrose in the beautiful Southern Flinders Ranges, South Australia.
