AJ Chiropractic & Health Clinic

A little bit about me...

My background and education

I graduated from Macquarie University with a Bachelor of Psychology, a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science, and a Master of Chiropractic. This training has given me a strong appreciation for the connection between the body and mind, and how both influence pain, recovery, and overall wellbeing.

I have also completed post-graduate training in dry needling, Neuro-Emotional Technique, pregnancy and pediatric care, as well as nutrition. This broad foundation allows me to assess each patient through a wider lens, considering not only physical symptoms, but also lifestyle factors, habits, stressors, and underlying patterns that may be contributing to their condition.

My approach and philosophy

As a practitioner, I’m known for my open, fun and friendly communication style. I believe the first step to addressing any concern is understanding it, which is why I make it my priority to explain everything thoroughly.

I believe in a holistic approach to healthcare, because let's face it: the human body is complicated, and nothing is ever simple! I am interested in how you function and it is my job to assess it, finding the areas that need improvement, whether it's a restricted joint, a tight muscle or a misalignment.

My approach is evidence-based, scientific and straightforward. In other words, everything I do in practice is backed up by scientific research evidence, so I know it works!

My practice style and techniques

I am a strong, hands-on manual adjuster, and I love a good back crack (where it's safe of course). My job is to make your body move better and I will use all the strength, knowledge and skill that I have to achieve it, because as my motto goes: "the better you move, the better you feel".

I also incorporate a lot of dry needling into what I do. I find it to be the best and most effective way to treat muscles, and I am highly experienced in this method, having completed two courses and assisted in teaching it to other practitioners.

I am a big believer in getting back as much as you put in, so my patients always receive lifestyle advice, an exercise plan and supplement recommendations from me. Manual therapy isn't a quick fix and I am not a magician, so I encourage my patients to be active in their health journey and work together with me to achieve their goals.

Cases and patients I love the most

I've treated a lot of patients in my years of experience and seen plenty of different cases, but the ones I've had the best results with would have to be my headache sufferers. Being a migraine sufferer myself and growing up watching my dad suffer headaches has given me a real sense of empathy for the people who present with migraines to the clinic.

I have refined my techniques to get excellent results with alleviating headaches, seen plenty of them and have personally gone through pretty much every prevention strategy there is, from pillows to stretches and way more.

As for patients, as corny as it sounds, I really do love all my patients. My favorite patients are the ones who are serious about their health, are goal driven and willing to put in the work and effort to optimise their health.

Outside the clinic

What can I say... I'm a bit of a dork! I enjoy video gaming, I love pop culture, horror films and sci-fi. I also enjoy gourmet cooking and love preparing creative, restaurant-style meals for my family.

I am a stickler for detail and aesthetic, so I like spending my weekends keeping my house and garden looking beautiful.

I spent many years of my childhood living in Europe and I am fluent in Polish.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me enjoying a quiet weekend at home with my wife and our animals.
