Services
Spinal Adjustments
Spinal adjustments restore proper joint function through precise manual techniques. This treatment alleviates pain, reduces nerve interference, and improves mobility by correcting misalignments. Patients benefit from enhanced nervous system function and accelerated healing without medication.
Muscle Release Therapy
Targeting trigger points in tight muscles, this therapy releases tension and improves circulation. Techniques include direct pressure application and stretching to resolve knots, reduce inflammation, and restore natural muscle movement patterns for lasting relief.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Specialised care addresses sports-related sprains, strains, and joint issues. Combining adjustments with rehabilitation exercises, we accelerate recovery while correcting biomechanical imbalances to prevent recurring injuries and optimise athletic performance.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Gentle techniques treat vertigo and dizziness by addressing inner ear and neck-related causes. Specific maneuvers and adjustments restore equilibrium, reducing disorientation and improving quality of life for chronic sufferers.
Postural Correction
Comprehensive assessment identifies postural imbalances contributing to pain. Customised treatment plans integrate adjustments, exercises, and ergonomic advice to realign the spine, relieve pressure, and prevent future musculoskeletal complications.

Mike Vella is the chiropractor to go and see if you want a No Nonsense Approach to your spines health care. His knowledge of neurological science as it relates the spine is amazing.

I was in and out in 10 minutes. No consult, hardly any explanation, no follow up for stretches. He had so many people booked for the same time frame going room to room. He just got me to lie down, put a heat lamp on me, walked out to do another patient, came in, and cracked me 4 times and told me to come back next week? For what. I get the same results when I crack my own back. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Michael has been treating my chronic back and neck pain for the past 6 months and I have never had this level of relief prior to seeing him. Would definitely recommend.

Best chiropractor around! Thorough, kind, gentle and caring.
Michael works differently from other chiropractors- he massages you to start with, heats you up with a heat lamp for a while then comes back and does the regular chiropractor moves. I go to get results and Michael gave them to me. I improve every time I go - that's why I keep going back!!
