About Ballarat Central Chiropractic
Ballarat Central Chiropractic sits on the corner of Sturt and Errard Streets in the heart of Ballarat, offering chiropractic care to a community that spans infants through to patients in their nineties. The practice is led by Dr Phillip Roberts, who completed his B.App.Sc and M.Chiro at Macquarie University in Sydney and brings more than twenty years of experience gained across Ballarat, Sydney and Adelaide. He is joined by Dr Edward "Eddy" Brookes, who holds a B.AppSc (Chiro) and a B.Hlth Sc. Both practitioners are members of the Australian Chiropractors Association.

What sets the clinic apart is its flexible, patient-led approach: rather than relying on a single method, the team blends gentle, low-force options with hands-on manual techniques, choosing whatever best suits the person in front of them. Dr Roberts holds a particular interest in biomechanics and functional movement patterns, while Dr Brookes focuses on comprehensive musculoskeletal care. New patients receive a detailed history and a thorough orthopaedic, postural and neurological examination before any care begins, and no referral is required to book.
The practice welcomes families, children, babies, athletes and older adults alike, and has experience supporting people presenting with sports injuries, workplace strains and motor vehicle injuries. Fees are kept straightforward, with an initial consultation at $95 and follow-up visits at $63, and concession and family rates are available. HICAPS is available on site, so patients with private health cover can claim instantly at the time of their appointment. Free off-street parking and online booking add to the convenience for visitors coming into central Ballarat.
