Adio Chiro

Adio Chiro Introducing Gordonvale's newest treatment center for musculoskeletal complaints. My approach: is to care for you ADIO style - Above, Down, Inside, Out.

Hi, Welcome to ADIO,

I’m Dr Dannielle, and I’m so excited to be part of the beautiful Gordonvale community after moving here with my young family from the bright lights of Brisbane. I look forward to getting to know you and your loved ones and supporting everyone’s health and wellbeing through chiropractic care. My aim: simple but effective, help you do the things you have to do, want to do, and

love to do—without limitation or hesitation. My goal: treat others how I would like to be treated, with care tailored to your individual needs. I want you and your family functioning at their best and living life to the fullest, no matter the age or stage of life. See the value in and adopt a proactive rather than reactive approach to care with long term health and lifestyle benefits. Care style: a multi-modality, holistic approach, tailored to your individual needs. Treatment sessions may include:
• Manipulative adjustments
• Soft tissue work
• Dry needling
• Stretching
• Rehabilitative care
• Education around posture, ergonomics, nutrition and more

A bit about me:
Over the years, I’ve pursued extensive postgraduate training including: SD Protocol, Thompson Technique, Webster Technique, Syntropy Chiropractic, and Dry Needling, among others. I graduated with a 1st Class Honours Bachelor of Science in Chiropractic from the University of Glamorgan in Wales, UK, in 2005 (yes that’s a while ago now). I’ve had the privilege of practicing across the world—growing up in the Far East, Middle East, and UK, before opening Oman’s first ever mixer chiropractic clinic and later relocating to Australia in 2011. Prior to moving to Gordonvale I spent a decade owning and operating my own successful chiropractic clinic. In 2010 (after being a chiro for 5 years), my life took an unexpected turn when I survived a 10-metre fall, resulting in: 10+ spinal fractures, rib fractures, skull fracture, partially dislocated jaw, severe concussion and temporary memory loss. I was extremely lucky not only to survive but avoid permeant, significant complications. After months of rehabilitation and recovery, I gained not only firsthand experience of complex musculoskeletal injury—but a deep, personal appreciation of what it means to heal and regain function in a holistic long-term way without the risks other methods carry. Chiropractic care played, and continues to play, a central role in my recovery, especially as I now manage early spinal disc degeneration and osteoarthritis. My personal journey allows me to truly understand and empathise with the physical—and emotional—challenges that come with injury, pain, and not feeling like yourself. This lived experience shapes every aspect of my care. So, let's work together. Whether you're seeking help with pain, recovery, performance, or simply want to feel and function better day to day, I’m here to support you. I look forward to working with you on your health journey. I hope to see you soon,
Dr Dannielle Medhurst

Our kiddies are about to return to school. Don’t scream ‘yippee ’ just yet….haha!

Have they got a good school bag? Do they/you pack it correctly? Do they wear it properly?

Let’s make sure we take care of their growing & developing bodies. Along with their chiro check up here’s some things to consider.

Finally filled in the space and got some art work related for the office wall. How cool is this?!

Why a brain you might ask?….

Did you know that current research shows that chiro adjustments actually create changes in the brain 🧠 🤯 Whereas we used to think adjustments created more local change and adaption we now know that they actually change our brain function! Meaning that the brain can better perceive, interpret and understand the world we live in and create better decisions in how best and efficiently live and function in our environment.

Does this BLOW YOUR MIND? It does mine!

What happens when you get adjusted? Why are the effects more than just removing pain and why should we look at care as a way of keeping healthy long term?

Why do we get back pain? Why is it always a movement we have done 274$3 times that causes our back to ‘go out’. Why does my groin hurt? Where did my disc bulge come from? Amazing video of what happens in the body on a daily basis.

Your treatment plan is always styled to suit your individual needs!!!

Everyone is an individual and that’s how we should be treated. There is no one plan, style, or adjustment that suits all. There will be no cookie cutter care here at ADIO chiro. 💕

Research shows chiro care and what occurs in the body is far more reaching than just removing symptoms such as muscle tightness or pain.

People will often seek out care when the pain or other symptoms become louder than the ability to ignore it and the problem starts to negatively affect their life. Whilst it is important to know and help achieve the patients goals and expectations, focusing and only removing pain is never the primary purpose of care and is not the full potential of what chiropractic can achieve.

Because pain isn’t just a mechanical error in the body.

Pain is a protective signal generated by the nervous system, shaped by context, past experience, perceived threat, and the brain’s prediction of danger.

Which means the real work isn’t just “removing pain.”

It’s helping the nervous system regulate, adapt, and feel safe enough that it no longer needs to produce pain as protection.

When we stop chasing symptoms and start understanding and treating the systems beneath them, something interesting happens:
The body stops needing to shout.

This is where chiropractic gets far more powerful than pain relief alone. Where the magic of chiropractic and its far reaching positive benefits become apparent.
