Coburg North is a quieter residential area with a mix of long-term residents and growing families. We see patients from the area with varied presentations — from tradespeople with occupational back and shoulder injuries to parents with postural strain, and older residents managing degenerative spinal conditions. Andrew adapts his approach to each presentation: hands-on adjustment for those who respond well to it, mobilisation and soft tissue work for those who prefer a gentler approach.
What chiropractic care at Advanced Health involves
45-minute initial appointment: full case history, assessment, findings discussion, and treatment in the same visit. Follow-up appointments are 30 minutes. Andrew’s approach is assessment-first — he won’t treat an area he hasn’t assessed, and he won’t continue a treatment plan that isn’t producing results. If he identifies that your condition needs imaging or a different specialist, he’ll refer you rather than treating around it.
Treatment at Advanced Health is integrative: spinal adjustment, joint mobilisation, soft tissue release, and dry needling as appropriate. For patients who would benefit from clinical Pilates as part of their recovery, Andrew coordinates with our Pilates team — all in the same clinic.

FAQs for Coburg North patients
How far is Advanced Health from Coburg North?
10 minutes south on Sydney Road or via Murray Road to Plenty Road. We’re at 4/107 Plenty Road, Preston 3072 — free on-site parking.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly and claim your private health rebate without a GP referral. If your GP has sent you with a management plan or referral letter, bring it along — it’s useful context.
Can you help with recurring headaches?
Often yes. Tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches — the kind that start at the base of the skull or along the top of the head — frequently respond well to chiropractic treatment of the upper cervical spine. Andrew will assess whether your headaches are likely to respond to chiropractic care during your initial appointment.
What if my condition needs imaging?
Andrew will identify during your assessment whether imaging (X-ray, MRI) is indicated before proceeding. He can write an imaging referral for plain X-rays, and will advise you to see your GP for MRI referral when indicated. He will not treat a condition that requires imaging confirmation before treatment is appropriate.
How many sessions will I need?
Andrew will give you a realistic estimate at your first appointment. Most acute complaints improve meaningfully in 3–6 appointments. He reassesses at each visit and won’t continue treatment that isn’t producing results.
