Pure Chiropractic

Pure Chiropractic is a Gonstead-focused clinic in the heart of Mentone, serving families across Melbourne's bayside suburbs including Cheltenham, Beaumaris, Sandringham, Highett and Moorabbin. The practice was founded by childhood friends Dr Kieran Tuke and Dr Palladin Calvino, two Gonstead chiropractors who built the clinic around a simple idea — to help people in need — and have grown it into one of the more heavily accredited chiropractic teams in the area, holding both Gonstead and Webster credentials. Today the practice sees a broad community, from local athletes and busy families to expectant mothers and older adults.

The team brings together a range of backgrounds and interests. Dr Calvino is Gonstead and Webster trained with postgraduate qualifications, works with paediatric, perinatal and geriatric patients, and founded the International Chiropractic Initiative to support underserved communities. Dr Tuke is known for his work with sports injuries and lower-back complaints. Dr Celeste Chong practises with a focus on women's health, children and families and speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien and Malay, while Dr Timothy Tran, a graduate of RMIT University, has a particular interest in sporting injuries and exercise rehabilitation. The clinic also includes osteopath Dr Phillip Murray, who holds a Bachelor of Health Science and Applied Science in Osteopathy and offers dry needling and myofascial cupping, and bodywork practitioner Crystal Salmon, who provides therapeutic massage and sound healing.

Using the Gonstead method alongside a biomechanical approach supported by on-site X-ray analysis, the practice offers care for people presenting with concerns such as back and neck pain, sciatica, and headaches and migraines. With a multi-disciplinary team, online booking and Saturday availability, Pure Chiropractic aims to make care accessible to the wider bayside community it serves.
