Chiropractic

How can Chiro help you?

Chiropractic is an evidence informed, all-natural primary health care profession. As Chiropractors we look at your spinal health and focus on the relationship between the structure of your spine and the overall movement and function of your body as communicated by your brain and nervous system. Using our hands (after an intensive 5 years of study) we use a low force, high amplitude technique called an “adjustment” to help you move and feel your best.

Chiropractic for Children

No matter your age – if you have a spine we can see you. We assess babies from day dot. Our Chiropractors can assess neuro development; such as primitive and postural reflexes, deep tendon reflexes, muscle tone, fine and gross motor development, balance and coordination; as well as assessing for plagiocephaly (flat head), hip and shoulder stability. As your children grow, we can perform postural checks, treat sporting injuries, assess backpacks and care for your spine through all those growth spirts.

Simon Turbide 

Chiropractor

Firstly, I am French Canadian and you’ll know it from my accent. I studied anatomy at McGill University in Montreal (1989) and then went on to graduate as a Doctor of Chiropractic (Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, Toronto, 1994.) I have since accumulated over 400 hours of post graduate studies in clinical Neurology from the Carrick Institute since 1999.

After my graduation, I spent the next 5 years practicing in Montreal where I realised that the brain’s health and optimal function was essential for total wellbeing. To pursue this passion for the nervous system further I went to Amsterdam, where I developed my clinical skills working in a busy chiropractic neurology clinic for 4 years. After travelling all over Europe I then landed in Melbourne.

I spent 18 months working in Victoria before moving West, where I’ve been ever since. With my extensive Chiropractic experience, I aim to identify the root cause of my client’s problem or ailment in order to restore, more effectively, the function of the nervous or any other physiological system at fault, using sensory and motor stimulation, chiropractic spinal manipulation, exercises and dietary recommendations.

I have over 20 years of private practice experience from all over the world; including work with clients of all ages. I come to work every day to guide my clientele on the best path to achieve long-term optimal health and function overall.

Kristen Sheppard

Chiropractor

Born in South Africa, I immigrated to beautiful, sunny Perth in 2006. Coming from an elite sports background in Swimming, I have always been fascinated by the potential of the human body. I was fortunate that I grew up under Chiropractic care, to which I attribute a large amount of my success and performance in the pool. So, when it came to decide what I wanted to do with my career, studying and becoming a Chiropractor was an easy decision. I went on to graduate from Murdoch University, completing the Chiropractic double degree with distinctions.

Health for me, is not merely the absence of symptoms, but rather being able to do the things you want to do in life with your body working the best it possibly can. I have a special interest in Woman’s Health, Paediatric and Pregnancy care, having achieved Webster Certification through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). I’m experienced in Diversified manual adjusting techniques, Activator and Thompson/Drop Piece. Alongside adjusting, I take a holistic approach to health and love to incorporate home exercise and nutritional advice so you can get the most out of your care.

Outside the practice I love being outdoors and embracing an active lifestyle. You’ll find me anywhere near water, either at the local swimming pool, having recently come second in the Rottnest Channel Swim as a duo with my brother (who is also a Chiropractor); or walking my dog Phoenix on the foreshore. I also love to eat delicious, nutritious food and I enjoy trying new, local cafes and restaurants. For me it’s the fine balance between Physical, Mental and Nutritional health that allows us to live happier, healthier lives. I look forward to taking care of you and your family and supporting you in achieving your health and life goals.

Krystal Burton

Chiropractor

Before graduating from Murdoch University in 2023, I was a personal trainer and yoga instructor and absolutely loved helping people achieve their health and fitness goals. One day I decided I wanted to be able to help my clients in a different way and so I began my 5-year journey into Chiropractic.Over the years, I’ve loved furthering my knowledge of the human body and thoroughly enjoy using a combination of chiropractic care in conjunction with rehab exercise to help patients feel better, stronger and get more out of every day.

My treatments range from person to person, applying a variety of different techniques to suit the individual in front of me, whilst also taking into consideration their treatment preferences and goals. I use diversified manual adjusting techniques, activator, blocking, dry needling, graston, rehab exercises, and soft tissue modalities aiming to lengthen and release tight and sore tissues.

In my spare time, I enjoy doing reformer pilates, taking my dogs for walks and spending time with my partner Sam. I love the beach, travelling and winding down with a good book, movie, or video game.

I am available for consults from Monday to Saturday. I look forward to meeting you, helping you get out of pain and improve your quality of life!

Luke Smith

Chiropractor

I am a dedicated chiropractor passionate about helping individuals achieve optimal health through personalised, evidence-based care. I have recently graduated from Murdoch University and have a previous degree in Exercise & Sport Science.

I believe that every patient is unique, and my approach focuses on uncovering the root cause of discomfort rather than merely treating symptoms. I utilise a combination of manual adjustments, muscle release techniques, and non-invasive testing to identify and correct underlying issues, whether they stem from poor posture, nervous system deficits or biomechanical dysfunction.

I am committed to empowering my patients with knowledge about their health. I take pride in helping individuals of all ages, from athletes aiming to improve performance to families seeking long-term wellness.

My ultimate goal is to support my patients on their journey to pain-free living and enhanced quality of life.

FAQ’S About Chiro

Do I have to take my clothes off?
Absolutely not! Rest assured, we want you to be comfortable. Loose fitting clothes are ideal for an adjustment so movement isn’t restricted.

How much will my appointment cost?
Initial Consultation – $100

Initial Consultation with treatment – $125

ROF – $85

Adjustment – $68

How soon will I see results?
Everyone is different as there is no “one size fits all” treatment – your story/main complaint is unique to you, as is your body and how it may respond to our tailored treatment plan for you. We will recognise if we are not able to help and will appropriately refer you on to the right person.

I’m old/young. Can I see you?
Everyone has a spine! We see people of all ages from newborns to baby boomers and beyond! It is never too early or too late to have your spinal health checked. Chiropractors are educated to modify spinal manual therapy to suit the age and presenting condition of our clients.

What is the “crack” “popping sound” I hear during an adjustment?

Eggs get cracked – People get adjusted! But, as it’s so commonly known “the crack” is the sound of pressure being relieved/ or released from the joint much like your knuckles being cracked. However, a crack does not determine whether your adjustment is successful or not, as long as the right movement and force is directed through it. You can read more about that here

What training is involved to become a qualified Chiropractor?
Having trained extensively for five years at university in human anatomy, radiology, and rehabilitation among other subjects, your Chiropractor can also help medically diagnose. If there is something they will not be able to help you with, they will find you another doctor who can. Like general practitioners and dentists, Chiropractors also have the doctor title as they are primary health care professionals.

Will I have to keep coming back forever?
Like exercising or training at the gym to stay fit it depends on what YOU would like to achieve (as dysfunction happens sooner before you experience pain). After the initial phase of care, we find it is best that you stay on top of your health with the occasional tune up! Again, everyone is different however we will find you a happy medium –be it a fortnightly or a monthly adjustment so you don’t fall back into the pain pattern.

What to expect on your first visit…

Firstly there is some paperwork to fill out so your Chiropractor can understand more about your medical history and the complaint that has brought you to our Centre. We ask that you arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment to fill in this one off initial form. Alternatively for your convenience, you can download these forms online to pre-fill beforehand here

Your first visit is a half hour and will include a thorough medical history as well as neurological and bio-mechanical examinations/testing. If additional testing or imaging is deemed necessary, you will be referred out for X-rays (usually bulk billed with Medicare) or other imaging. 

The purpose of the initial consultation is to gather as much information as possible, so your Chiropractor can diagnose what is causing your complaint. This thorough initial examination appointment allows them to create the best possible treatment plan for you to get the fastest and most effective results. 

To assist in your diagnosis, please bring any previous X-rays or reports with you from any recent Chiropractic care with a previous Chiropractor. 

Once your Chiropractor has all the information they need, and a treatment plan is created and your treatment options will be explained to you at your second visit – what we call “the Report of Findings.” If you’re happy and comfortable to, and your Chiropractor is confident Chiropractic care will benefit you, treatment will commence during this second visit.

Our practitioners highest priority is to utilise ‘best practice’ protocols, which they believe is providing thorough and careful testing and diagnosis for all new clients, prior to beginning a treatment plan. This is why treatment usually doesn’t happen on the first visit unless the client is transferring from regular Chiropractic care from another clinic. 

If you have any other questions please see our FAQ’s section or call us on 9377 4111.
