We are open 🙂
You may have noticed the roadworks currently happening around the clinic. For the next couple of months, the only road closure is the freeway entry ramp towards Hoppers Crossing. If you are heading that way after your appointment, then you can get onto the freeway via Altona Meadows or Point Cook 🙂 Have any questions or concerns then ask us at your next appointment and we will be happy to help

Check before you travel.

🌿Just like a tree needs strong roots to stand tall, your body needs a healthy spine to stay balanced.

Chiropractors work with your ‘root system,’ keeping everything connected so you can grow strong this spring.

The calendar might indicate spring, but the weather isn't playing along.

Chiropractic care helps you shake off that winter slump, loosen up your joints, and get you back to enjoying the outdoors.

🌞At least you'll be ready!

A subluxation is a bit like a kinked garden hose. It might still work, but not very well. As a result, there is interference with how your nerves send messages between your brain and body.

Chiropractors check for subluxations through
📏 Postural checks
🦴 Spinal motion tests
🧠 Neurological assessments
🤹 Observing how the body is compensating

💬 If you feel that you might be a bit kinked, reach out for a chat

I can't get them off their devices either, but regular breaks and these simple steps can help minimise tech neck in children

🪑 Sit comfortably with upright posture, relaxed shoulders, and feet flat on the floor
🖥️ Position monitor or laptop screen at eye level, with mouse and screen close to the body
👀 Hold devices at eye level to avoid bending the neck
🤚 Use both hands when holding a device and alternate between left and right hand when typing on a smartphone

👶 It sounds odd, but we often see babies with pain from tension

We address this using a gentle, safe, modified adjusting technique and baby massage

After treatment, it is common for babies to have a big sleep

Nature isn’t a luxury, it’s neurodevelopmental therapy.

🌿 Nature offers what screens can’t:
🌞 Full-spectrum light
🌊 Grounding minerals
🧠 Brain-calming input

💡Sunlight to the belly button supports vitamin D absorption + gut health.
💡Barefoot beach walks can reduce stimming.

Hang in there, it will get easier 🤍

From our experience in the clinic, a common cause for an unsettled baby is lip or tongue tie

These make it harder for your baby to latch when feeding, causing your baby to take in excessive air

We assess for lip and tongue ties, as well as how well your baby is latching

Our gentle chiropractic baby adjustments and baby massage aim to restore nerve function to the neck, jaw, and tongue, helping your baby latch

If necessary, we will refer you to a paediatric dentist

Your child’s ability to ride a bike, hop, or even stand on one foot tells us a lot about their brain.

These motor tasks rely on the cerebellum, a key brain structure for coordination and emotional regulation.

When the cerebellum is underactive:
❌ Poor balance
❌ Meltdowns
❌ Difficulty with attention

💡Activities like spinning (safely), laser therapy, and targeted movement may help. A chiropractor trained in paediatric neurology can observe your child’s balance, coordination, and posture during everyday movements like hopping or biking. These observations may offer clues about cerebellar function and overall neurological development. If concerns arise, your chiropractor will explain the findings clearly and may recommend gentle movement-based therapies or refer to other health professionals.

Over the next few posts, we will share insights from Dr Kyle Daigle and Dr Genevieve Dharamaraj that every parent, therapist and educator should hear.
