Your body is normally capable of healing and regulating itself without surgical or pharamaceutical intervention. Sometimes though, when the body's structure is not functioning correctly, this ability to seek balance can result in pain as the body tries to compensate for dysfunction, and over-uses some muscles or joints. Chiropractic care seeks to address structural dysfunction in your body encouraging your muscles, nerves and joints to return to a state of optimal function and decrease pain.

Wayne has assisted athletes and enthusiasts of all levels to manage injuries, conquer pain, and perform at their best. His list of clients includes the Geelong Football club, Gary Ablett, Cadel Evans, Adam Scott, Chris Judd, Ana Ivanovic and others. Having designed many of the dynamic soft tissue interventions used in his clinical practice from years of extensive research and working in elite sports care, Wayne is able to assist and advise on a broad range of musculoskeletal complaints common to his active and sports focused clients:

• joint pain
• muscle strain
• repetitive strain injuries
• lower back pain
• rehabilitation

Many chronic conditions, especially those that involve persisitent pain symptoms, are life changing. They are often not the result of a single injury or condition but an intertangled web of physical, neurological, and perceived dysfunctions that can be difficult to diagnose and even harder to treat.

When it comes to complex conditions, Dr Wayne has experience, research and compassion on his side and will gladly work with your current team of health professionals or help you choose the practitioners best suited to help you conquer pain and regain control of your symptoms.

His clinical approach embraces physical activity as "medicine" but also recognises psychological factors, such as kinesiophobia and other fear-based beliefs that are often present in complex pain disorders and can hinder the progress of treatment.
