Chadstone Chiropractic

Chadstone Chiropractic is a Gonstead chiropractic clinic at 1681 Dandenong Road, Oakleigh East, in Melbourne's south-east — about 3 km from Chadstone Shopping Centre. The practice traces back to The Chadstone Clinic, founded in the mid-1970s; Dr Joshua Free has been principal chiropractor since 2004.

Three chiropractors practise here — Dr Joshua Free, Dr Nadia Hamdan and Dr Pieter Hart — and all three are members of the Gonstead Chiropractic Society (Australia); Dr Free and Dr Hart are Diplomates of the Society. Every patient is assessed before any adjustment: history, visualisation, instrumentation, static and motion palpation, neurological and orthopaedic testing, and weight-bearing digital X-rays taken onsite when clinically appropriate. Adjustments are made by hand to one specific spinal segment.

The clinic's principle is "find it, fix it, leave it alone". Open Monday to Saturday, with early-morning and evening appointments during the week and Saturday mornings. Phone (03) 9568 0155.

HICAPS is available on site, so private health fund rebates can be claimed at the time of your visit. Dr Joshua Free and Dr Nadia Hamdan are Bupa Members First and Medibank Members' Choice providers; Dr Pieter Hart is not, so rebates differ depending on which chiropractor you see — please mention your fund when you book and reception will connect you with the right practitioner.
