MELBOURNE'S NEURO REHAB CHIROPRACTOR · HIGHETT VIC

No,  you can book directly without a referral. If your GP has written a letter or you have specialist reports, please bring them — they're helpful context. For POTS and dysautonomia patients especially, I actively encourage collaboration with your existing medical team.

Initial consultations are approximately 60–75 minutes, allowing time for a comprehensive neurological assessment and detailed discussion of your symptoms, history and goals. This thorough assessment helps identify factors that may contribute to complex neurological conditions, including POTS, dizziness, balance disorders and other neurological symptoms.

Follow-up appointments are generally 30–45 minutes, depending on your individual assessment and neurorehabilitation needs.

Please bring any imaging (X-rays, MRI, CT scans), referral or specialist letters, a list of your current medications, and any previous test results. Wear comfortable clothing — I'll be doing a movement and balance assessment as part of your consult.

A payment is required when you book your appointment to secure your consultation time. This allows us to reserve dedicated time for your assessment and ensures your appointment is confirmed.

Full pricing is on my booking page. My fees reflect the extended, specialised nature of my consultations. You're getting 60–75 minutes, a thorough neurological assessment, and a genuinely personalised plan. Private health rebates  apply for chiropractic cover.

Yes — chiropractic care is covered by most extras policies including Medibank, BUPA, HCF, NIB and AHM. Rebate amounts vary by policy. I'd recommend calling your fund to check your cover before booking. I process health fund claims on the spot.

POTS and dysautonomia are among the core conditions I see. My Brain First approach is specifically suited to autonomic nervous system disorders — and I collaborate with GPs, cardiologists and neurologists as part of your wider care team.

The number of neurorehabilitation sessions you need depends on your condition, how long you’ve had symptoms, your assessment findings and your individual goals.

At your first consultation, I’ll assess your symptoms and provide a clear, personalised recommendation for your care. An initial course of around 6 sessions is generally recommended to properly assess your response and track meaningful changes.

There are no locked-in treatment packages. 

Your plan evolves as you progress, and I’ll always be upfront about what I’m seeing, whether you’re improving and whether further treatment is appropriate.
