Dr Luka Fantela
Luka ventured into chiropractic care following a traumatic back injury during his late teenage years. It was during this challenging time, Luka came across a chiropractor who not only understood the problem at hand but guided him back to pain free movement and function. Since then, Luka has endeavored to guide his clients through their recovery and back to better health.
Chiropractic is an allied health profession that oversees the diagnosis and management of an array of musculoskeletal conditions, most notably of the spine and head. Chiropractors may use a variety of non-surgical and non-pharmaceutical treatment strategies, including but not limited to spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, dry needling, rehabilitation and exercise therapy, postural and lifestyle advice.
More and more, evidence supports early referral and assessment of musculoskeletal pain patients to an appropriately qualified musculoskeletal clinician, such as a chiropractor. Chiropractors are not only trained to treat musculoskeletal pain, they are also trained to facilitate a proactive health approach, lifestyle advice, rehabilitation and patient education.
Members of the general public usually seek chiropractic care for TMJ pain, low back pain, neck pain and headaches, and more increasingly, for general health and wellbeing.

A chiropractic appointment can be bulk billed by medicare for those with eligible chronic disease management (CDM) or EPC plans from their GP. However please note, there sometimes can be a gap payment of the difference between the appointment cost and the medicare rebate.
As with all health treatments there is always an inherent risk. However, the majority of adverse reactions are typically mild in nature such as muscular soreness and discomfort. Moderate to severe adverse reactions are rare following Chiropractic treatment, mainly due to the non-invasive, non-surgical approach Chiropractic care provides. Normally however, most people experience a release local to the adjustment site, with a reduction in pain and improvement in mobility. Our Chiropractors will discuss in-depth the appropriate treatment options with you prior to administering any therapies.
Traditionally, the primary chiropractic principle is based on the bodies ability to self heal and regulate itself, with the nervous system acting as the mother board or control centre of the body. Thus, promoting better nervous system and spine health can help promote improved overall health.
