Q&A With Dr. Joash

You have trained under some world-class Chiropractors, tell us more.

In my time as a student and a Chiropractor, I’ve had the privilege to train under Dr Matt Panetta, Dr Jeff Vecranges, Dr Eric Topcu and Dr Ian Rossborough. They have a combined experience of more than 100 years of Chiropractic and managing patients and have mentored me closely, teaching the Gonstead method. I also regularly attend Gonstead seminars which are held throughout Australia to ensure that my knowledge is up to date with the latest research.

Do you integrate other healthcare professionals into your patient's treatment plan?
If the patient requires immediate medical attention or has a complex issue which may need a referral to a specialist, we work with many different health practitioners to get the best outcome for the patient. We also work closely with personal trainers, exercise physiologist, physiotherapist and remedial massage therapist.

Can you describe how you overcome challenging cases?
The Gonstead analysis and technique has a methodology that can be followed even for the most complex and challenging cases. There are a number of criteria and steps to adhere to before adjusting and correcting the problems of the spine. We use specific tools and X-rays to determine the exact problem and how to correct it in the safest manner.

What are questions you get from patients and how do you answer them?
The most common questions patients often think about, even if they don't ask them outright, are:
Am I in the right place?
Can you identify the problem?
Can you fix the problem?
How long will it take?
How much will it cost?

At our practice, we will always do a detailed health history and examination to determine whether we can help our patients, if deemed that the issues are out of our scope of practice, we will always refer them if necessary. Majority of cases can be addressed with the Gonstead Chiropractic system and we will always give a detailed plan of care which will cover how long the problem will take, and the number of visits we expect to get you out of pain.

What qualities do you believe are essential for a successful chiropractor?
I have seen many Chiropractors fall in and out of the profession. The reality is that most graduates don’t follow through after they finish their degree. The reason is because of how tough this profession is. A successful Chiropractor needs to be able to continually learn and strive for excellence and be determined to provide the best care for the patient.
