Motion is medicine.
I’m Dr Laith Musallam, a registered chiropractor with over four years of clinical experience and six years in rehabilitation and movement-based care. Most of my work is aimed at less pain and easier movement, and at the everyday things the pain has been getting in the way of. None of it starts until I have examined you and explained what I found.

Mission and philosophy.
Beyond the symptom
Quietening a symptom is the easy part. What I want to know is what is aggravating it and what eases it, because that is what the plan is built on.
Evidence-based care
A traditional chiropractic adjustment is one option, and never an automatic one. Gentle joint mobilisation, instrument adjusting and drop-piece reach the same joints with less force, and modern physical therapy and rehabilitation science sit alongside them. I draw on all of it.
Patient partnership
I do the treatment and I explain it, so that the person steering the recovery ends up being you.
One patient at a time, for the whole appointment.
Some clinics run on volume, with the adjustment standing in for the whole appointment. You have me to yourself for the session, and soft-tissue work and guided exercises are part of it, so what you go home with is a plan rather than one adjustment.
The plan itself is yours alone: chiropractic care, physical therapy and customised rehabilitation exercises picked out on the strength of your history and what the examination shows. It is built for lasting improvement rather than short-term relief.
Nobody takes charge of a body they don’t understand.
Who I treat.
Junior athletes, U12 to U21, and local sporting teams
How much you are training, how well you are moving, and getting back to the sport when it is safe rather than when you are keen.
Older adults
Stiffness and arthritis, and keeping hold of the everyday movement that independence depends on.
People living with disability
Care built around what you are working towards, and around the people who support you day to day.
Veterans
Back, neck and movement problems that trace back to service.
Workplace injuries and accidents
Moving again after an injury, and back at work when your body is ready for it.
Long-term conditions
Persistent back and neck pain, disc trouble and sciatica, and the strain that builds up from how you sit and work.
Qualified, and accountable for it.
