About Us

Founded by husband and wife Todd and Cath, Pittwater Chiro is not your standard chiropractic clinic. With two locations in Balgowlah and Mona Vale on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, we provide a professional and friendly space focused on delivering the best tailored care while nurturing long-lasting relationships. Pittwater Chiro serves as a facilitator to better physical health and well-being, offering a consistent point of contact—a place people can always visit for health help and advice. Our professionals use the latest scientific methods to help clients enjoy life to the fullest.

We are a growing chiropractic clinic on the Northern Beaches with two locations in Balgowlah and Mona Vale, and have been in business for nearly a decade. We use multiple modalities including manipulation, soft tissue work, cupping, dry needling, and shock wave therapy. Our patients love coming to us because we create a warm and welcoming environment where people feel comfortable sharing their injury or pain stories. Thanks to our kind and caring approach, we provide evidence-based plans to reduce pain and improve function—helping our patients get back to doing what they love.

Our History

2002

Life Works Chiropractic was founded by Chiropractor Dr Matthew Poppleton in 2002 on the corner of Bungan Lane and Waratah Street in Mona Vale, Sydney. It was one of the inaugural chiropractic and wellness clinics in Mona Vale. Ever since, the clinic has serviced Mona Vale and the Northern Beaches through family, sports and rehabilitative chiropractic. We update our offerings and practices in line with the latest medical and chiropractic research, providing the best care for our clients and speeding the route to recovery.

2014

In late 2014, Dr Poppleton handed over the reins to Life Works to his good friend and colleague, Dr Todd Stephenson. Together with Dr Braeden Melmer, Todd has continuously worked to keep the practice thriving and proudly providing the best physical health and wellbeing care to the families and residents of Mona Vale. In 2022, Todd’s partner Cath joined Life Works Chiropractic as a Practice Manager.

2023

In 2023, Pittwater Chiro was born. Dr Jess Milsom, our third chiropractor, joined the team. The clinic expanded its reach within the local community, a dream co-owners Todd and Cath had always had. This led to their decision to rebrand and make the clinic truly their own, reflecting their vision, ethics and values. They wanted to have a brand that their community could identify with. Clean, direct, local, professional and modern.

2024

Mona Vale + Balgowlah

In an effort to expand and better serve the local community, Pittwater Chiropractic acquired Absolute Health Solutions, allowing for the growth of their services and outreach. This strategic move was driven by a shared commitment to providing high-quality chiropractic care across a broader region, ensuring that both clinics can offer specialised treatments tailored to the needs of their patients. The integration of AHS into Pittwater’s network reflects a dedication to fostering wellness and strengthening community ties.

Our Clinics

Located in the leafy heart of the Mona Vale CBD, our clinic offers our patients a safe and welcoming space where they can come and share their stories. We are conveniently located walking distance to the B1 bus stop and are across the road from ample and free public parking spaces on Bungan Lane.

Our newest location, our Balgowlah clinic provides the same warm, welcoming environment and personalised care that defines our practice. Whether you’re seeking relief from pain or aiming to enhance your overall wellness, our dedicated team is here to support you every step of the way.
