AHPRA REGISTERED CHIROPRACTOR

Dr Anabella Newman

Chiropractor · Wellbeing Chiropractic Clyde North

I’m Dr Anabella Newman, an AHPRA registered chiropractor at our Clyde North clinic, and I took the scenic route here: thirteen years in environmental planning and policy, then retraining at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic and five years of family chiropractic care across Auckland and Rotorua. I grew up in Springvale, so coming to Melbourne’s south east is a homecoming after twenty-five years across the Tasman. My special interests are nervous system health, pregnancy, paediatric care and health education, and I look after every age from newborns and toddlers to teenagers, adults and grandparents.

Newborns to grandparents welcome

Who books in with me at Clyde North

The pram in my waiting room

Nervous system development starts long before the first birthday, so I check pregnant mums and little ones with particular care. Techniques are gentle and matched to age, and parents stay part of every decision.

Whole households, one visit

Clyde North is young families on new streets. I look after everyone under the one roof, from the baby to the grandparents, because a spine deserves the same attention at every age.

Feeling fine & wanting to stay that way

Plenty of my patients arrive without a crisis. Regular chiropractic care as part of a well-run life is the practice I believe in, and you’ll hear exactly what I find at every visit.

Whatever brings you in, the process stays careful and unhurried: a full history, a thorough examination of how your spine and nervous system are travelling, then a clear explanation before any care starts. I practise gentle, low-force techniques that suit newborns, pregnancy and nervous first-timers as comfortably as they suit seasoned patients. And when something I find belongs with your GP or another practitioner first, I’ll tell you plainly and help organise the referral.

From planning healthy places to caring for healthy spines

My first profession was environmental planning and policy, thirteen years of it, and I came to chiropractic because I’m passionate about health and helping people live well. I completed a Diploma in Health Science at Auckland University of Technology, graduated from the New Zealand College of Chiropractic with my Bachelor of Chiropractic in 2021, and I’m currently completing a postgraduate diploma in paediatric chiropractic care.

I’m experienced in delivering chiropractic care for every age, from newborns and toddlers to teenagers, adults and grandparents, and my special interests sit in nervous system health, pregnancy, paediatric care and health education. Upskilling is a habit: I regularly attend seminars and professional development, and my technique range covers Diversified, Gonstead, Sacro Occipital Technique, cranial work, Network Spinal and Neuro Emotional Technique. I’m also trained and experienced in checking and adjusting dogs.

Before joining the Wellbeing team I practised for five years in family care in Auckland and Rotorua, New Zealand, then relocated to Melbourne to be closer to family. I grew up in Springvale, so returning to the south east feels like coming full circle. When I’m not in practice you’ll find me trail running, travelling in the campervan, tending the vegetable garden, or at dog agility, a sport I’ve competed in with my Border Collies.

Check carefully, explain clearly, adjust precisely

First visits with me run wide before they run deep: your history, your day-to-day load, then a careful examination of how your spine is moving and how your nervous system is coping with it all. I explain findings in plain language, because a patient who understands their own body makes better decisions about it.

Care draws on precise adjusting and gentle, low-force methods alike, Diversified, Gonstead, SOT, cranial work, Network Spinal and Neuro Emotional Technique among them, dosed to the person on the table. A newborn, a labourer and a grandmother need different handling, and the plan we agree on reflects your goals rather than a standard script.

“Healthy environments make healthy people. I planned the environments for thirteen years, and now I get to work on the people.”

Questions patients ask

Yes, and it is the most rewarding part of my week. Care for little ones is gentle, brief and matched to their age and size, I’m completing a postgraduate diploma in paediatric chiropractic care, and parents are involved in everything.

Yes. Nervous system development starts in the womb, and a comfortable, well-supported mum matters at every stage. Positioning and techniques are adapted trimester by trimester.

Completely. The babies get the headlines, but most of my day is everyday adults: workers, runners, retirees and everyone between. I love the whole spectrum, so bring whichever spine you have.

I’m trained and experienced in checking and adjusting dogs, and my old sport was dog agility with Border Collies, so four-legged athletes are familiar territory. Ask the front desk about arrangements.

Yes, all major health insurance funds are processed on the spot, so with chiropractic on your extras policy you only settle the gap.
