WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?

​Chiropractic care is about more than making your back pain disappear. Chiropractic is a natural, holistic approach to your health that aims to improve your quality of life. We educate our patients about chiropractic and other natural solutions to common health problems in order to give you a more active and responsible role in restoring and maintaining you and your families health. Chiropractic is designed to create change and unlock your bodies full potential!


If you are on this page someone who loves you probably recommended this for you. Or even you yourself realised that you are ready for a change. Above anything,  we are committed to finding the right path moving forward. If we aren't that person, we will help you find what you need.

 At the heart of our approach is trying to find the cause and not just treat the symptoms. You may have tried taking drugs to lessen your symptoms, but at the heart of it, it may not of changed the underlying issue. Whether it be days, weeks or years, our body is always trying to adapt and heal. Sometimes it just needs some assistance.  That is what we are here for! When you start to get better you will wonder why you hadn't incorporated Chiropractic into yours and your families health earlier.

Chiropractic for the whole family

ADULTS 

We see everyone in the family, from newborn to 98 (We say 98 because that was our oldest client).
Chiropractic care can help adults of all ages maintain mobility, reduce pain and support overall well being. We face a lot of daily stresses as adults! By improving spinal alignment, it relieves tension, enhances movement and promotes better sleep and energy for a healthier life!

KIDS

We are known in the area for our care for pregnant and paediatric clients. Just like when you take kids to the dentist to get teeth checked the same applies for spines. The difference is we are born with a spine and having it checked is a  valuable choice for your loved ones. Gentle adjustments can help maintain and enhance nervous system function, as well as aiding in their continual physical and cognitive development.

PREGNANCY

Chiropractic care during pregnancy can help support a more comfortable experience by reducing pains and aches, improving pelvic alignment, and promoting optimal fetal positioning. Receiving alignments can also assist in helping with a smoother labour and reduce tension in the pelvis, to support the body's natural birthing process. 
Many people ask when it is a good time to come in when pregnant. Ideally we would see each pregnant mum as soon as they are comfortable.  If everything is progressing well than there is no better time than now.  For many this can include when trying to conceive.

Our Story

 From different ends of the earth, Jenna and James were brought together through their dedication to the development of chiropractic. They met in Brazil, studied and practiced in California since 2010, but decided in 2015 to move back to Australia where Dr James was born and raised. They dreamed of creating a practice where parents and families could come and receive the best care for whatever stage of life they were in.

After 10 years working in education around the world, Dr James found he needed to do more for the people he met and wanted to create a community of practitioners who would be able to serve the pregnant population of the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne and the Dandenong Ranges. He loves seeing new families take off with the support they really need through holistic health and chiropractic care.
Dr James is certified through the ICPA to see Pregnant and Paediatric clients. He also possess the Webster certification through the ICPA.
Drs James and Jenna are also the first practicing Spinning Babies® Approved Practitioners in Australia. 

He now travels around Australia and New Zealand teaching other chiropractors and students on adjusting and caring for pregnant clients. We believe the best births are supported by birth professionals and love working with Midwives and Obstetricians to help clients have the best experience they can.

Drs JAmes and Jenna were the first ever Australians to be listed on "SPinning Babies"!!

Picture

 Drs James and Jenna Evans D.C. were the very first Spinning Babies Aware   Practitioners in Australia. ​
- Spinning Babies is a series of exercises, stretches and positions designed for the pregnant and labouring client to help prepare mother and child for birth
- This includes teaching different birthing positions
- Sharing birth wisdom with parents/providers in the layers of understanding birth.
- Spinning babies does not incorporate any direct treatments to the unborn child and is not designed to elicit any force on the child. All exercises are designed to facilitate neuro-biomechanical function for the improvement of musculoskeletal conditions. The name Spinning Babies does not imply the use of an External Cephalic Version and this should only be conducted by a trained Obstetrician.

Webster Technique for Pregnancy

​The Webster technique consists of a series of chiropractic adjustments for the pregnant client, which works to address musculoskeletal issues common in the pregnancy. This technique requires special training and testing in order to become certified by the International Chiropractic Paediatric Association based in the USA.
