Getting here from Coburg

From Coburg, head south on Sydney Road into Preston — it’s about 8 minutes by car. Our clinic is at 4/107 Plenty Road, Preston 3072, with free on-site parking directly out front. Public transport from Coburg: Route 19 tram runs along Sydney Road and stops at Plenty Road, a short walk from our clinic. Coburg North residents can also reach us via Murray Road east to Plenty Road, around 10 minutes.

We see a large number of Coburg patients, particularly through the established Italian, Greek, and broader Mediterranean community in the area. Andrew treats a high volume of Coburg patients with occupationally-driven spinal complaints — tradespeople, hospitality workers, small business operators — who need a chiropractor who works efficiently and gets results rather than putting them on an indefinite treatment schedule.

What chiropractic care at Advanced Health involves

Your initial chiropractic appointment at Advanced Health is a 45-minute comprehensive assessment: detailed case history, postural analysis, range-of-motion testing, and orthopaedic and neurological assessment of the relevant area. Andrew explains what he finds before touching you — his approach is transparent and collaborative. If X-rays or further imaging are indicated, he’ll explain why and refer you appropriately before proceeding with treatment that requires them.

Treatment combines spinal manipulation (adjustment), joint mobilisation for restricted segments, soft tissue work on tight muscles, and dry needling when trigger points are contributing to the problem. Andrew chooses the minimum effective intervention — not the maximum number of treatments — because he’s building a practice on outcomes, not on visit counts.

Conditions Andrew treats for Coburg patients

  • Lower back pain — acute and chronic; disc-related, facet joint, sacroiliac; with or without leg pain
  • Neck pain — from desk work, driving, sleeping position, and degenerative cervical changes
  • Headaches and migraines — cervicogenic headaches and tension-type headaches driven by upper cervical restriction
  • Shoulder and upper back pain — rotator cuff, thoracic stiffness, postural rounding
  • Sciatica — leg pain, numbness, or tingling from lumbar disc pressure on the sciatic nerve
  • Vertigo (BPPV) — Andrew is trained in repositioning manoeuvres for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
  • Work-related musculoskeletal conditions — RSI, postural strain, lifting injuries

About Andrew Cunningham

Andrew is an AHPRA-registered chiropractor with 12+ years of experience and a reputation for resolving complex spinal complaints that have persisted under other care. He founded Advanced Health in 2012. His clinical approach integrates chiropractic adjustment, soft tissue therapy, and dry needling — addressing both the joint restriction and the muscular compensation patterns that accompany it. He also supervises our clinical Pilates program for patients who need a structured rehab pathway alongside spinal care.

FAQs for Coburg patients

How far is Advanced Health from Coburg?

8 minutes south on Sydney Road. We’re at 4/107 Plenty Road, Preston 3072, with free on-site parking.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book directly and claim your private health rebate without a GP referral. Bring any referral letter if you have one — it’s useful context, not a requirement.

How many appointments will I need?

For most acute presentations, meaningful improvement within 3–6 appointments is a realistic expectation. Andrew will set out a projected treatment plan at your first visit and review it as you progress.

Can you treat sciatica?

Yes. Sciatica — leg pain, tingling, or numbness from sciatic nerve compression — is one of the most common presentations Andrew treats. Most cases respond well to a combination of chiropractic adjustment to the lumbar spine, soft tissue release of the piriformis and gluteal muscles, and targeted exercise. Severe or progressive neurological symptoms are referred for imaging first.

Do you treat children?

Yes. Andrew treats children from school age with appropriate low-force techniques. Growing spines respond quickly to chiropractic care. Common paediatric presentations include sports injuries, postural issues from heavy school bags and screen time, and recurring neck or back pain in young athletes.
