How I Help!
My combination of personalised chiropractic treatments and thorough assessments ensures I achieve excellent results.
Treatments and Techniques Offered:
Conditions I Can Help With:
Using Dry Needling as Part of Your Treatment Plan:
Dry needling is a treatment that uses thin needles to release tight muscle knots, helping reduce pain, improve movement, and increase blood flow. By targeting irritated trigger points and creating a brief muscle twitch, the technique allows muscles to relax and reset their normal function. When combined with chiropractic care, dry needling can ease chronic pain, headaches, stiffness, and conditions such as neck and back pain, sciatica, shin splints, and tendon issues.
Support for Fall Prevention:
I offer assistance with fall prevention by helping improve balance, stability and overall mobility. Using targeted treatments and exercises, I work to strengthen key muscle groups, enhance coordination and address underlying factors that may increase the risk of falls.
Fee Schedule:
At Burdekin Chiropractic, your first appointment includes a comprehensive examination, digital postural evaluation, neurological assessment, referral for X-rays (if needed) and your first adjustment. Follow-up appointments are scheduled as needed.

About Dr Gerard Chandler
Hi, Having lived in the Burdekin area my entire life, I am proud to call it home. Before embarking on a career in chiropractic care, I spent 24 years as a diesel fitter and miner, dealing with persistent lower back pain. Seeking relief, I turned to chiropractors and was amazed by the natural, non-invasive results I experienced. This sparked my interest in chiropractic care and inspired me to pursue it as a career.
As an adult student, I was fortunate to attend Central Queensland University in Mackay, where I completed a full-time, five-year program. After graduating in 2024, I began practicing and expanding my knowledge under Michael Darton at Adapt Chiropractic in Townsville.
