Dr John Nguyen

Chiropractor · Wellbeing Chiropractic Springfield

I’m Dr John Nguyen, an AHPRA registered chiropractor at our Springfield clinic, consulting in English or Vietnamese. A CQU alumnus with a Bachelor of Science in Chiropractic and a Master of Clinical Chiropractic, I practise as a member of the Australian Chiropractors Association. What keeps me in this work is the relationship side of it: a complaint rarely improves in a straight line, and walking that line with someone, adjusting the plan as their body responds, is the job at its best. Pain, stiffness or a body letting you down all start the same way here, a proper history and examination, then a plan we decide together.

Who walks through my door in Springfield

The commute, the desk, the repeat

A long drive into Brisbane bookending a full day at a screen. The low back stiffens on the motorway, the neck tightens by the afternoon, and the weekend never quite resets it before Monday starts the cycle again.

The weekend athlete

Touch footy, gym sessions, a social netball league. Something got strained two rounds ago and you’ve been playing around it since, half wondering whether it will settle on its own or needs a proper look.

The whole-family kind of week

Lifting toddlers, unloading the car, odd jobs around a new house. Greater Springfield is full of busy young families, and a back that grabs during ordinary jobs is one of the most common things I assess.

Three different weeks, and the same starting point in the clinic. Before anything gets treated, I want to understand the person in front of me: what your days ask of your body, what’s changed recently, and what you’re trying to get back to. Each patient responds to care differently, so the plan has to be built around you rather than around a standard recipe. If what I find isn’t a chiropractic problem, I’ll say so and point you in the right direction.

Building care around the person, not the spine alone

A CQU alumnus, I hold a Bachelor of Science in Chiropractic and a Master of Clinical Chiropractic. I practise at Wellbeing Chiropractic Springfield and I’m a member of the Australian Chiropractors Association. What keeps me in this work is the relationship side of it. A complaint rarely improves in a straight line, and working through that with someone, adjusting the plan as their body responds, is where I think a chiropractor earns their keep. I get to know what drives and motivates each patient, because that’s usually the difference between a plan that gets followed and one that quietly gets dropped. The best part of the job is watching someone reach the goal they named at their first visit. Sometimes that’s lifting their kids without bracing for it. Sometimes it’s a return to sport. Either way, seeing a patient get their movement back is a reward in itself.

How I get to know a new patient

We start with a proper conversation about your history, your week and your goals, then move to the examination: hands-on testing plus a look at how you move. I treat every patient as an individual, and the way your body responds guides what we do next.

Treatment usually begins the same day where it’s appropriate. I’ll explain what I’ve found in plain language, we’ll agree on a care plan together, and you’ll know how we’re both going to judge whether it’s working.

“Two people can walk in with the same complaint and need completely different care. The assessment is how we find out which one you are.”

How I work in the treatment room

Diversified adjusting

Precise manual work on the joints the examination singles out, always explained before we begin.

Activator Method

A small spring-loaded tool that taps the joint with a light, controlled impulse. A good lower-force option when it suits your presentation or your preference.

Sports chiropractic

Care for training and game-day complaints, planned around your season rather than parking you on the sideline by default.

Questions patients ask

Được chứ. I consult in both English and Vietnamese, so the whole appointment, from your history through to home advice, can run in whichever language you’re more comfortable with. Mention it when you book if you like, but it’s no problem either way.

Yes. Springfield claims all the major health insurance funds on the spot (HICAPS at the front desk), and when chiropractic is in your extras cover you settle the gap and that’s all. What you get back depends on your policy.

No. You can book straight in, online or by phone. If the assessment says a GP or imaging should come first, I’ll arrange that referral before we go any further.

Usually not, and complete rest is often the slower road back. My preference is to assess what’s driving the complaint, then modify your training around it while it settles. Every case is different though, and that’s a decision we make together after the assessment.

A conversation about your history and goals first, then the examination. I’ll explain what the examination showed before anything else happens, and if treatment is appropriate we’ll usually start the same day.
