If you’re dealing with back pain that won’t settle, recurring headaches, or a body that just doesn’t feel right, you’re not alone. These are exactly the kinds of problems we see every day at My Chiropractic Place.
Chiropractic care addresses spinal misalignments that interfere with your nervous system. When your spine moves properly, your nervous system can do its job. That affects more than just back pain; it affects how your whole body functions.
At our Richmond and Caroline Springs clinics, Dr Nam Nguyen and Dr David Addie use the Gonstead technique. It’s a specific, evidence-informed system of spinal analysis that identifies exactly which vertebra needs attention and why.
Here’s what we see and help every day at our clinics.
Conditions: Lower Back pain · Neck pain · Disc problems · Sciatica · Scoliosis
These are the most common reasons Melburnians seek chiropractic care, and for good reason. Misaligned vertebrae place pressure on spinal nerves, causing pain, stiffness, and restricted movement. Dr Nguyen and Dr Addie locate the precise vertebral level causing your symptoms. Then they restore proper joint movement with a targeted adjustment. If you’ve had disc problems or whiplash that other treatments haven’t resolved, this level of specificity makes a real difference.
Conditions: Headaches and migraines · Stiff Joints Pain · Arthritis · Carpal Tunnel Syndrome · Pins and needles or numbness in the legs, arms, hands or feet · Whiplash injuries · Torticollis
Nerve irritation rarely stays where it starts. Tension in the upper cervical spine can trigger cervicogenic headaches and migraines. A compressed lumbar nerve can send pain or numbness all the way down your leg. Chiropractic care addresses the root cause of these symptoms — not just the location where you feel them. If you’ve been managing joint stiffness or nerve-related pain for months, it’s worth finding out what’s driving it.
Conditions: Dizziness and loss of balance · Poor posture · Fatigue
Your nervous system controls balance, muscle coordination, and how your body maintains an upright posture. When spinal alignment is compromised, these functions can be affected in ways that aren’t always obvious. Postural correction, in particular, is something we address early — because the longer poor posture goes unchecked, the harder it becomes to correct.
Conditions: Pregnancy support · Sports injuries · Childhood illnesses and conditions
Chiropractic is appropriate across all stages of life. Pregnancy places significant demand on the lumbar spine and pelvis. Active patients — from weekend warriors to elite athletes — often benefit from regular spinal care to support performance and recovery. For children, safe, gentle adjustments can support healthy spinal development during key growth stages. Our approach adapts to suit each patient’s age, condition, and needs.
