Dr Danny Le Nguyen

Senior Chiropractor · Wellbeing Chiropractic Cranbourne & Melton

I’m Dr Danny Le Nguyen, Senior Chiropractor across our Cranbourne and Melton clinics, consulting in English or Vietnamese. A double degree in health science and applied science made me a chiropractor, and seasons of sideline work as a sports trainer with AFL and NPL soccer clubs made me a sharper one, with sports taping and dry needling certifications earned along the way. My caseload settled where my interest lives: children whose spines are still growing, scoliosis that needs careful monitoring, and athletes who load their bodies hard every weekend. Careful assessment first, a plan that adapts as things change, that is how I think.

Three bookings from an ordinary week

The shoulder that sits higher

A parent in Cranbourne has noticed one shoulder blade sitting higher when their teenager bends over a schoolbag, and a late-night search for scoliosis raised more questions than it answered. Assessing and monitoring growing spines is one of my special interest areas.

Not right by Tuesday training

A knee or ankle that copped a knock in Saturday’s game and still feels wrong at training. I’ve worked as a sports trainer with AFL and NPL soccer clubs, so the call between treat, tape and refer is one I make often.

A claim & a job to get back to

A back injured at work, WorkCover paperwork stacking up, and pre-injury duties that still feel out of reach. I manage WorkCover and TAC cases routinely at both Melton and Cranbourne, and the plan is built around returning to work.

The thread through all three is assessment. Growing spines, match-day injuries and compensable claims need different techniques, and certainly different paperwork, but treatment should follow the finding, not the booking type. Cranbourne and Melton are young, fast-growing suburbs, so my diary genuinely looks like this: a newborn check in the morning, a taped ankle at lunch, a scoliosis review after school pick-up. If your situation doesn’t match any card above, bring it in anyway. I see patients from newborns through to the elderly, and every one of them starts with the same careful look at what’s actually going on.

What shaped the way I practise

I completed a double degree in health science and applied science, majoring in chiropractic. Somewhere in those study years I worked out which patients interested me most: children whose spines are still growing, and athletes who load theirs hard every weekend. Both groups need a chiropractor who assesses carefully and adjusts the plan as things change, and that suits how I think.

Sport gave me my other education. I trained as a sports trainer, added certifications in sports taping and dry needling, and spent seasons on the sideline with AFL and NPL soccer clubs. Sideline work teaches you to assess quickly, tape properly and be firm about who shouldn’t go back on. Along the way I also received a Recruit of the Year award.

These days I’m a Senior Chiropractor with Wellbeing Chiropractic, splitting my week between Cranbourne and Melton. I consult in Vietnamese as well as English, hold memberships with the ACA and Chiropractic Australia, and keep up regular professional development because the evidence moves and I intend to move with it. Referrals go both ways between me and the GPs, physiotherapists and osteopaths I work alongside. Chiropractic works best when it isn’t the only tool in the shed.

What the first appointment looks like

I take a functional approach, so the first appointment is mostly assessment: your history, how you move, how your body handles load, and what’s actually driving the symptom. Treatment follows from that rather than from a standard routine. I practise a broad set of techniques, from Diversified and Gonstead manual adjusting through to Activator and SOT, which are far lower force. That range matters, because a newborn needs something completely different from a state-league midfielder, and I can offer both.

I’m evidence informed and patient centred, which in practice means I explain what I’m doing and why, set a care plan with a clear endpoint and review points along the way, and refer on when someone else is better placed to help. GPs, physiotherapists and osteopaths are people I work with, not around. And if you or your family are more comfortable in Vietnamese, we can run the whole consultation in Vietnamese.

“I try to make good chiropractic care accessible to everyone, from a newborn’s first check to a grandparent’s stiff knees.”

How I work in the treatment room

Diversified & Gonstead adjusting

Precise manual adjusting for patients whose assessment findings and preferences suit hands-on care.

Activator (instrument adjusting)

A handheld instrument delivering a small, precise impulse. Low force, and often better tolerated by children and older patients.

Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT)

A gentle, low-force approach using positioning and pelvic blocking, useful where the pelvis and sacrum are part of the picture.

Paediatric techniques

Modified, very gentle care for babies and children. Nothing like adult adjusting, and always explained to parents first.

Dry needling & sports taping

I’m certified in both. Needling for stubborn muscle tension, taping to support a joint through training or a graded return to sport.

Questions patients ask

Yes, this is one of my special interest areas. I’ll assess posture, spinal curve and movement, and measure what I find so we can compare it over time as your teenager grows. Some curves need nothing more than careful monitoring. Others warrant imaging or a specialist opinion, and I’ll tell you plainly which I think you’re looking at and refer where needed.

No referral needed. I’ve worked as a sports trainer with AFL and NPL soccer clubs, so knees, shoulders and ankles are familiar territory. I’ll assess the injury properly, treat or tape what’s appropriate, and be straight with you if it needs a scan or a GP’s input before we go further.

Yes, and I’m comfortable with the paperwork that comes with a claim. The aim is a clear plan that works towards getting you back to work or to your pre-injury level, with progress we can both measure along the way. Bring your claim number and insurer details to the first visit.

Yes. I consult in Vietnamese and English at both Cranbourne and Melton. If it’s easier for you or a family member to describe what’s going on in Vietnamese, that’s the language we’ll use.

I do. Chiropractic care can form part of an NDIS plan, and I see participants at both clinics. When you book, let reception know how your plan is managed so the invoicing side is sorted before your first visit.

If your extras cover includes chiropractic, you can claim on the spot through HICAPS, and all major funds are accepted. Bring your membership card and reception will process the claim straight after your appointment.
