My back pain is years old. Can assessment still do anything?

Yes, and the assessment is the point. Pain that's been around for years has usually changed how you move and compensate, so I spend the first visit working out what's driving it now, which isn't always what started it. Then I'll give you a clear read on whether chiropractic care fits your presentation, and what a realistic care plan looks like. No promises of quick fixes. You get a workable plan with regular reviews.

Why would I see a chiropractor about vertigo?

Because working out which type of vertigo you have comes first, and that's an assessment job. Some presentations involve the neck or respond to specific positional techniques, and those are worth assessing properly. Others belong with your GP, and if that's what your assessment points to, I'll refer you rather than treat you.

Can I claim on my health fund at the clinic?

Yes, we have HICAPS, so if your extras cover includes chiropractic you can claim on the spot with all major funds and only pay the gap. Your level of cover is set by your fund, so check your policy if you're unsure what it includes.

Do I need a referral, and what should I bring?

No referral is needed to book. Bring anything useful you already have: scans, imaging reports, a medication list. Wear something you can move in. First visits run longer than a standard appointment because the history matters, especially with long-standing pain.

Chiropractor/ Leader/ Partner · Wellbeing Chiropractic Wyndham Vale & Caroline Springs

I’m Dr Adam Pisani, practice partner at Wellbeing Chiropractic and the AHPRA registered chiropractor leading our Wyndham Vale clinic, with weekly consulting at Caroline Springs. A double degree in health science and chiropractic pulled me early toward the hard end of the caseload, the long-standing back pain, sciatica, headaches and vertigo that have usually outlasted a few fixes already. My patients span the very young through to the elderly, so six techniques stay in rotation and care gets shaped to the person in front of me. Being named Wellbeing’s Chiropractor of the Year in 2024 only raised the bar I hold myself to.

Chiropractor of the Year 2024

I hold a double degree, a Bachelor of Health Science alongside a Bachelor of Applied Science (Chiropractic), and gravitated to chronic pain almost immediately. It’s demanding work. The person in front of you has usually tried a few things already, and they deserve better than a repeat of whatever didn’t work last time.

These days I’m a partner at Wellbeing Chiropractic and lead our Wyndham Vale clinic, with a caseload that runs from the very young through to the elderly. That range is deliberate. Working across six techniques, from Gonstead through to Activator and pelvic blocking, means I can adapt the care to the person on the table rather than asking them to adapt to me. In 2024 I was named Chiropractor of the Year, which I’ll state once, plainly, and get back to work.

Caroline Springs is next, with a new clinic opening soon on Caroline Springs Boulevard. The reason I keep at it hasn’t changed since my first year in practice: the difference the right care can make to someone’s health and wellbeing, and the plans they start making again once pain stops being the loudest thing in their week.

Your first visit is mostly questions and testing, and I make no apology for that. I want the full history, not the last fortnight: how it started, what it interrupts, what you’ve already tried. Then a thorough physical assessment of how you actually move, because with long-standing pain the place that hurts and the thing that’s driving it are often different.

Only then do we talk technique. I work across Diversified, Gonstead, Activator, drop piece, pelvic blocking and soft tissue and rehab work, and the point of that range is choice. A low-force instrument adjustment might suit an older patient or a young child. A specific manual adjustment might be the better call for someone else. Your care plan gets built around your presentation, then reviewed as you go, not set once and left running.
