Our Services
Dr Paul Portelli
Melbourne Chiropractor Practising Applied Kinesiology
I am a Melbourne based Subluxation Chiropractor who focuses on supporting you on your health journey, not just addressing pain.
Chiropractic is not a vocation for me, it’s what I grew up with. I come from a pioneering family chiropractors and grew up seeing firsthand how a well-maintained nervous system can support people with their health goals.
Now Melbourne based, I offer chiropractic care for individuals and families, from professional athletes in AFL, netball, cycling, basketball and powerlifting, to parents, babies and growing kids.
My aim is to understand you, your lifestyle and your symptoms, so that my care plan doesn’t just treat your symptoms but works to identify potential underlying causes.
I use a gentle, personalised approach that includes techniques such as Applied Kinesiology, Visceral Biomechanics, Diversified manual adjustments, Activator, Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), and extremity work.
Whether you’re managing discomfort, supporting your child’s development, or simply aiming to feel well and stay active, I’ll work with you to tailor care that matches your needs and goals.
I am a firm believer that managing personal health and wellbeing extends beyond clinic appointments. This is why I will provide you with resources and practical strategies that align with your personal health goals. I see care as collaboration.
Outside the clinic, I regularly speak at local groups, community and corporate events where I share insights on preventive health and fall-prevention. My aim is to inspire communities to take proactive steps toward lifelong health and functional wellbeing.
My Approach to Care
My personal passion is supporting health and wellbeing for families. Each care plan respects the unique needs of the individual and is guided by the patient’s concerns.
I draw from a range of gentle chiropractic techniques to ensure care is appropriate, considered and tailored.

Highly recommend this Chiropractic Life. They’ve helped relieve my neck pain and headaches, and I’ve also improved my sleep and posture. Everything is explained clearly and in a way that’s easy to understand. I’ve seen great results since starting regular adjustments

Paul is super nice and really knows what he’s doing. He’s been helping me with my mild scoliosis, which I didn’t even know much about before seeing him. He always explains things clearly and makes me feel comfortable every time. I already feel a big difference. He’s great at his job and honestly just a good person to see.
