AHPRA REGISTERED CHIROPRACTOR · CHI0004052587 · ACA MEMBER

Dr Samuel Lee

Chiropractor · Wellbeing Chiropractic Footscray & St Albans

I’m Dr Samuel Lee, an AHPRA registered chiropractor across our St Albans and Footscray clinics, two of Melbourne’s most multilingual pockets, where my consults in English, Mandarin, Cantonese or Malay earn their keep daily. I trained through RMIT’s chiropractic double degree, hold memberships with the ACA and Chiropractic Australia, and work Diversified and Gonstead adjusting with Activator for lower-force care, plus Level 1 dry needling for the muscular side of stubborn problems. NDIS participants are welcome in my rooms. Good care here means being heard properly at a thorough first assessment and leaving with a plan that serves the long run.

Four languages in the consult room

Two clinics, one western-suburbs caseload

The shift that never sits down

Footscray and St Albans run on standing work: kitchens, wards, warehouses, markets. Feet, hips and lower backs carry those hours, and eventually they invoice you for them.

The pain you’ve renamed as normal

A stiff neck that’s been around long enough gets promoted to personality trait. It’s still a treatable complaint, and a proper assessment is how it gets demoted again.

The gym program on pause

Something pinched, you stopped, a month vanished. An examination works out what’s driving it and how to return to load without repeating the loop.

People often arrive here having felt rushed elsewhere, and fixing that is the easiest part of my job: I listen until the whole story is out. Then a full physical examination, an explanation in clear terms, in whichever of my four languages serves you best, and a care plan aimed at lasting function rather than a quick patch. When your presentation needs a GP, imaging or a different kind of practitioner, that gets said out loud at visit one.

Care that speaks your language, literally

I trained at RMIT, completing the chiropractic double degree, and I hold memberships with both the Australian Chiropractors Association and Chiropractic Australia. My technique base runs through Diversified and Gonstead adjusting with Activator for lower-force work, and I’ve added a Level 1 dry needling certification for the muscular side of stubborn problems.

My week is split between Footscray and St Albans, two of the most multilingual pockets of Melbourne, and that’s where my languages earn their keep. Consults run in English, Mandarin, Cantonese or Malay, and the difference it makes to a nervous first-time patient is hard to overstate. I also see NDIS participants at both clinics.

What I love most in this job is the long relationships: patients who come back years later with a different problem because the first experience felt genuinely caring. Being trusted with that is the reward.

Heard first, examined second, hurried never

The first visit gives your story all the room it needs, then moves to a structured physical and movement examination. You’ll get my findings explained clearly, with the reasoning behind them, and a care plan we build together around your goals, your work and the parts of life the problem has been taxing.

Treatment blends adjusting with dry needling where tight muscle is part of the picture, and always includes the between-visit layer: movement, habits and pacing that make results stick. Progress gets measured against what you said mattered, not against a template.

“Feeling genuinely heard is the first treatment. Everything after works better because of it.”

How I work in the treatment room

Diversified & Gonstead

Careful, joint-specific manual adjusting where the examination earns it a place.

Activator Method

Instrument-based adjusting for patients and presentations that suit a lighter hand.

Dry needling

Level 1 certified needling for tight, overworked muscle alongside the joint care.

Sports-focused care

Assessment first, then a graded path back to training when sport created the problem.

Questions patients ask

English, Mandarin, Cantonese or Malay, entirely or mixed. Describing pain precisely is tricky in any language, so use whichever one thinks fastest for you.

Yes, I see NDIS participants at both Footscray and St Albans. Mention your plan type when booking and reception will set things up properly from the start.

Only where tight muscle is genuinely part of your problem and you’re comfortable with it. It’s one tool beside the adjusting work, never an automatic add-on, and we’ll discuss it before any needle appears.

At both. All major health insurance funds process on the spot, with only the gap remaining where chiropractic features in your cover.

Absolutely, no referral needed. Bring along whatever scans or reports you hold, and give the first visit room in your day, the assessment deserves it.
