Services
Chiropractic
Our Gonstead chiropractic system provides precise spinal adjustments using digital X-rays for accurate diagnosis. This evidence-based approach effectively treats neck pain, sciatica, and sports injuries by restoring nervous system function. Practitioners with over 40 years combined experience deliver tailored treatments that promote natural healing without medication.
Podiatry
Specialised foot and lower limb treatments address conditions like plantar fasciitis and ingrown toenails. Using 3D orthotic scanning and onsite nail surgery capabilities, our experienced podiatrists provide comprehensive solutions for flat feet, sports injuries, and chronic foot pain through modern, research-backed techniques.
Naturopathy
Holistic health programs combine functional testing with natural remedies to treat digestive disorders, immune issues, and hormonal imbalances. Personalised plans include dietary advice, herbal medicine, and lifestyle modifications to address root causes rather than symptoms, promoting long-term wellness.
Massage Therapy
Customised massage programs target muscle tension and sports injuries using deep tissue, remedial, and pregnancy massage techniques. Therapists with over 20 years combined experience create tailored treatment plans that include corrective exercises for ongoing pain management and improved mobility.
Myotherapy
Specialised treatment for muscular dysfunction caused by sports injuries or repetitive strain combines dry needling, cupping, and corrective exercise. This approach effectively addresses chronic pain, headaches, and postural imbalances through targeted muscle release techniques and rehabilitation programs.

Report
The reception ladies are super kind & easy to talk to. I was comfortable the second I walked in, Michael makes sure he has a conversation & checks up with you. He knows what he is doing & is always happy with the results. I recommend this clinic to anyone that is looking for chiropractor or whatnot. Thank you Essential Chiropractic and Healthcare clinic

Really lovely, kind staff. Efficient and thorough, I've been seeing them regularly for over a year, and they've been able to alleviate a lot of pain and discomfort in my back and neck.

After years of suffering with neck,arm and back pain and only seeing Michael for a short period of time. I am now pain free and feel like a brand new person. I highly recommend this practice.

All the staff are super friendly. Dr Sharni is fantastic, after years of struggling with horrendous migraines and headaches I almost never get them now thanks to her. I always look forward to my visits!

I have been visiting Essential Chriropractic clinic over the last 15 years and treated by both Michael and Damien for my spine adjustment. Both treatment and customer service has been impeccable.

Report
For someone with chronic pain, I've seen my fair share of physiotherapists, osteos, acupuncturists and masseuses to last me a long while. Damien hands down has not only been the most helpful to my pain but also the most insightful when it came to helping me understand what was going on. I have no trouble in saying he is the best in the business. His team at the front desk are always helpful and you even get an ipad presentation when you first visit, that explains what they do.
