Foundation Chiropractic

Foundation Chiropractic operates from a home-based clinic located at 10 Inkerman St, Newington VIC 3350, providing chiropractic services to patients of all ages throughout the Ballarat region. The practice is led by Dr David Addie, a Gonstead Chiropractor who is recognised as the most experienced Gonstead practitioner in Ballarat. The clinic specialises in the Gonstead System, a specific method of chiropractic analysis and adjustment.

The practice offers care for patients presenting with various conditions including lower back pain, headache, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder pain, and general spinal conditions. Dr Addie conducts a full spine examination on every visit as part of the clinic's standard protocol. The practice reports an average of three to four visits for patients to achieve their desired results, with care plans tailored to individual patient needs.

Operating as a home-based clinic allows Foundation Chiropractic to maintain low overheads, resulting in lower fees for patients. The clinic accepts Medicare EPC (Enhanced Primary Care Plan) referrals for up to five visits per year and requires no upfront payment plans. Patients are advised to contact the clinic directly for current operating hours, as the practice maintains a no-wait policy where patients wait no longer than fifteen minutes for their appointments. Prospective patients should note that a dog and cat reside on the premises, which may be relevant for those with allergies or phobias.

Dr Addie brings personal experience to his practice, having returned to work within six weeks following a severe back injury through receiving chiropractic care himself. With his extensive experience in the Gonstead method and commitment to thorough examination processes, Foundation Chiropractic provides accessible chiropractic care to the Newington community and surrounding areas.
