AHPRA REGISTERED CHIROPRACTOR

Dr Joshua Tyquin

Principal Chiropractor · Wellbeing Chiropractic Hawthorn

I’m Dr Josh Tyquin, practice partner at Wellbeing Chiropractic and principal chiropractor at our Hawthorn clinic. A sporting injury in childhood introduced me to this profession, RMIT trained me for it, and my own club years, cricket with St Kilda and football with De La Salle in the VAFA, keep me fluent in bodies under load. Years of practice pointed me toward the top of the spine, so continued study added Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression, the Atlas (C1) Protocol, Sacro-Occipital Technique and spinal traction to the traditional care that built my career. Assessment first, explanation always, and a plan aimed at function you keep.

The upper-neck cluster

Headaches, dizziness, vertigo and tinnitus can travel with upper neck issues. Josh’s special interests draw exactly these presentations, assessed carefully and referred on where another opinion belongs first.

Sporting bodies, sporting standards

A chiropractor who played high-level cricket and VAFA football treats sports injuries with insider knowledge of training loads, season pressure and the itch to return early.

Prevention before repair

Josh’s own philosophy is maintaining optimum health rather than waiting for breakdowns, so plenty of Hawthorn patients use him to stay ahead of trouble, not behind it.

Every course of care at Hawthorn starts the same way: detailed history, thorough examination, and an explanation that maps the findings to a plan. Josh has managed everything from neck pain and muscle tension across all ages and walks of life, and his advanced interests mean presentations with a neurological flavour, from recurring headaches to dizziness, get an especially structured work-up, with referral built in wherever a case calls for medical input first.

From childhood patient to principal

Chiropractic entered Josh’s life early, after a childhood sporting injury put him on a chiropractor’s table and the experience left an impression strong enough to become a career. He graduated from RMIT University in Bundoora and has been building on that foundation since, as a member of the Australian Chiropractors Association keeping pace with current research.

Sport never left the picture. Josh played cricket for St Kilda Cricket Club and football for De La Salle Old Collegians in the VAFA, which keeps his focus naturally tuned to sporting injuries, rehabilitation and the mechanics of the human body under load.

As his career matured, so did the toolkit. Through continuous study he added Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression, the Atlas (C1) Protocol, Sacro-Occipital Technique and spinal traction to his traditional skills, a natural progression that now defines the Hawthorn practice he leads as principal chiropractor.

Traditional base, targeted extensions

Josh’s care starts from the traditional chiropractic techniques that served his patients well for years, then reaches for the advanced options where a case genuinely benefits: decompression and traction where the spine needs unloading, SOT and Atlas work where precision at the top of the neck matters.

Plans aim at best possible function, not perpetual appointments. Patients of every age get the same sequence, assess thoroughly, explain plainly, treat specifically, and review without flattery against the goal of recovering from and preventing painful spinal conditions.

“The top two bones of the spine sit closer to the brainstem than any others. Josh built his advanced training around treating that neighbourhood with respect.”

Questions patients ask

A traction-based therapy that gently unloads spinal structures using controlled, machine-assisted stretch. Josh added it through continued study for cases where sustained decompression suits the presentation.

These presentations are among Josh’s special interests because they can be associated with upper neck issues. He assesses that region in detail, explains what he finds, and refers for medical review the moment the picture asks for it.

It concentrates on the C1 vertebra, the atlas, where precision matters most. The protocol uses careful analysis and specific, measured technique rather than general adjusting.

Devotedly. Years with St Kilda Cricket Club and De La Salle in the VAFA mean Josh speaks fluent preseason, and his sporting patients get plans built around fixtures, not in spite of them.
