Sound familiar?

Same back.
Third time this year.

You haven't failed at stretching. Most people we see have done all the sensible things, and the pain keeps finding its way back.

Book a new patient appointment
  • It eases off for a few weeks, then it's back
  • Painkillers take the edge off, until they don't
  • You've had the scans, and you're still not sure what's wrong
  • You've stopped doing things you love: golf, the gym, the garden
  • You're sleeping badly, and work is harder than it should be
  • What's usually missing: someone finding out why, and explaining it so it makes sense

The difference

The quick fix gets you through the week. Then what?

The temporary fix

Painkillers, rest, and hoping.

Takes the edge off. Wears off by the weekend. Nothing wrong with any of it. It just wasn't built to find out why it keeps happening.

  • Treats where it hurts
  • Nobody looks at the spine and nerves
  • Same problem, back again next month

The proper fix

Find out why. Then deal with that.

Your spine is wired to your brain. The muscles around every vertebra constantly tell it where you are and how you're moving. When a joint stops moving well, that conversation breaks down, and pain is one of the signals. We find where, and adjust what we found, not just where it happens to hurt.

  • A thorough spine and nerve check before anything else
  • Plain-English answers about what's going on
  • A plan you understand, built around your life

Why we're here

Peninsula-raised. 35 years in practice.

Dr Ben grew up on the Mornington Peninsula, and for over 50 years it's been the place he calls home. He built this practice in Mornington because he saw a real need on the Peninsula for chiropractic care that delivers more than a temporary fix.

In 35 years, his approach hasn't changed. Listen properly. Check thoroughly. Explain what we've found in plain English. Empower you to take back control of your health. And give you hope, and certainty, that feeling great is meant to be the norm, not the exception.

Today the practice is Dr Ben Carvosso and Dr Ryan Tan, with Michelle, Mercedes and Bella at the front desk.

Before you book

The questions we get on the phone.

Ask us: 03 9787 8518
Do I need a referral?

No. You can book straight in. If you'd like to use a Medicare care plan or DVA, your GP sets that up.

What's the $125 web special?

Book your new patient appointment online, here on the website, and it's $125 instead of $195. No code, nothing to pay now. It's for new practice members, one per person, and can't be combined with any other offer. Book online

Can I claim on my health fund?

Yes. If your extras cover includes chiropractic, claim on the spot with HICAPS and just pay the gap.

Can I use Medicare?

With a GP care plan, Medicare can cover part of your care. How care plans work, step by step

Will I be adjusted on my first visit?

Maybe, maybe not. That's up to the clinical judgement of your chiropractor. Many people arrive with problems they've had for a long time, and those often need more thorough testing first. We always do a proper job before we start, so in many cases we refer for further tests, including X-rays. That can mean your first adjustment comes at your report of findings appointment.

I've been hurt at work, or on the road.

Yes, come in under your WorkSafe or TAC claim. You pay us on the day and claim it back from your scheme. How it works

I'm a veteran. Do you see DVA card holders?

Yes. Gold and White Card holders: with a GP referral, we bill DVA directly, so there's nothing to pay for covered care. How DVA works here

What should I wear?

Something comfortable you can move in. You stay dressed for your appointment.

Is there parking?

Yes. Free parking right outside number 12.

Stop putting up with it.

One new patient appointment and you'll know what's going on, and what it'll take. Mornington, with free parking at the door.
