Prior to Dr Matt embarking on his Chiropractic journey, he spent years working as a massage therapist in Sydney and Italy in clinics and with a football team. He was an athlete in football and track/field since young and still loves playing sports. He also has a passion for DJing electronic music and wishes to produce his own one day!
He knew there were more profound changes in clients’ health to be made which lead to studying his Master of Chiropractic at Macquarie University in Sydney where he originates from.
Dr Matt holds a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science and a Master of Chiropractic, and is a registered chiropractor with AHPRA (registration number CHI0001951740). He is a thorough professional who looks at the root and underlying causes of a problem before giving treatment.
Chiropractic to Dr Matt is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, just like brushing your teeth or being happy!

What is Chiro?
Chiropractic was created in 1895 by Dr D.D Palmer
Chiropractic care is a Primary integrated part of the healthcare system which forms part of conservative methods which are an alternative to usage of drugs and surgery. Chiropractors are one of the fifteen registered healthcare professions in Australia and study for at least 5 years. Consumers are more widely seeking a Chiropractor in Australia and around the world as an important part of their ongoing healthcare. Each year there is an estimated 19.1 million chiropractic visits in Australia and other studies suggest that 8.6% of all visits are from children.
Chiropractors typically use hands-on spinal manipulation called an ‘adjustment’ and other alternative treatments such as muscle releases, stretches and treatment tools. Proper alignment of the body's musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine, enables the body to heal itself in certain instances without surgery or medication. The aim is to treat the cause, not the symptom!
The Adjustment uses the bones as levers to create ideal movement and function where it has been dysfunctional, which can cause neurological and muscular stress. Dysfunction may occur due to tissue injury caused by a traumatic event, such as falling, or repetitive stress, such as sitting without proper back support.
The nervous system controls every single organ and function in the body. If a nearby joint or tissue is dysfunctional, it may create change or damage to the nerve. The muscles hang off bones (except the ones that make you smile!) and nerves tell muscles what to do. This means that if joints and nerves are dysfunctional, so may be the muscles.
Chiropractic treatment is used as a spinal alignment correction tool, and as a pain relief alternative for muscles, joints, bones, and connective tissue, such as cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. It is sometimes used in conjunction with conventional medical treatment. Techniques use quick but small movements to stretch tight areas, break up scar tissue and decompress joints.
What is Chiro?
Bones
Chiropractic uses the bones as levers to create ideal movement and function where it has been dysfunctional. Dysfunction may occur due to injury or repetitive strain. Techniques use quick but small movements to stretch tight areas, break up scar tissue and decompress joints.
Nerves
The nervous system controls every since organ and function in the body. If a nearby joint or tissue is dysfunctional, it may create change or damage to the nerve. Chiropractic decompresses and restores normal movement to improve and reset nerve function.
Muscles
The muscles hang off bones (except the ones that make you smile!), and nerves tell muscles what to do. This means that if joints and nerves are dysfunctional, so may be the muscles. Chiropractic techniques work to help restore joint and nerve function to ensure optimal muscle function
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Chiropractic Adjustment?
An ‘Adjustment’ is the application of a precise force to a specific part of the involved spinal segment, using the hands, instrument, blocks or drop piece, (often accompanied by an audible ‘pop’) to restore optimal joint function leading to improved movement and normal nerve transmission.
Is chiropractic care covered by Medicare, DVA or my health fund?
Yes. We bulk bill Medicare plans referred by your GP, DVA White and Gold card holders, and WorkCover and CTP (car accident) claims with a GP referral. If you're paying privately, chiropractic care is covered by all private health funds when your policy includes chiro in your extras.
Do I need a medical referral?
No, you can book an appointment with a Chiropractor at any time without a referral from your GP. You'll only need a GP referral if you're claiming through a Medicare plan, DVA, WorkCover or CTP. A thorough diagnostic assessment will be performed by your Chiropractor on your first visit, and relevant care or inter-professional referral may take place after that.
