Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic treatments address musculoskeletal conditions through spinal manipulations, joint mobilisation, and soft tissue therapy. We specialise in pain relief for back pain, neck pain, and sciatica using gentle, natural techniques. Patients benefit from improved mobility and long-term wellness through personalised treatment plans.
Remedial Massage
Remedial massage targets muscle tension and injuries with deep tissue, sports, and pregnancy massage techniques. This therapy improves circulation, reduces pain, and enhances recovery from sports injuries or chronic conditions. Sessions are tailored to individual needs, ranging from 30 to 90 minutes.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Specialised care for athletes includes spinal adjustments, corrective exercises, and soft tissue treatments. We follow a four-stage rehab process to restore function and prevent re-injury. Our team works with local sports clubs to ensure optimal performance and recovery for all athletes.
Postural Correction
We address postural imbalances like scoliosis through spinal adjustments, corrective exercises, and kinesio taping. This approach reduces pain, improves posture, and prevents long-term complications. Treatment plans are customised using evidence-based techniques for lasting results.
Clinical Exercise
Clinical exercise programs enhance recovery by strengthening muscles and improving flexibility. These exercises complement chiropractic adjustments and are designed to support long-term musculoskeletal health. Patients receive guidance on proper form and progression for effective home care.

I have been going to see Raf at the Donvale Chiropractic Centre for the better part of 4yrs and honestly he is great. Works wonders when I have been in absolute agony and doesn't push to do more than is required for treatments. If you need to visit more regular or less often its whats best for you. Also just a genuine person, takes an interest in what you are doing, which probably helps to relax you for those bigger adjustments. Highly recommend, very professional, insurance claims on the spot and also have worked through a team care plan as well.

I have been going to Raf for quite a few years now, and I have nothing but respect for his professionalism & knowledge, plus I know he's going to fix what ever I've done to myself. I can honestly say Raf genuinely cares about my health and often takes extra time with me to ensure I'm ok before I leave. He has seen me for follow ups if I haven't felt better the next day without hesitation or charge. I actually look forward to my visits with Raf, the conversation flows easily and a laugh is guaranteed . The lovely Dee always greets you with a smile and a chat
