What We Do

Our Services

Evidence-based chiropractic and neuro-rehabilitation for every life stage — from infants to seniors, athletes to parents — in Camberwell since 1980.

Health Conditions

Our chiropractors assess and address a broad range of musculoskeletal and neurological health conditions using modern, evidence-based approaches — focused on finding and resolving the underlying cause, not simply managing symptoms.

Common conditions we care for include chronic pain, lower back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraine, balance and dizziness disorders, and postural issues. Dr Mark Navin's post-doctoral training in functional neurology extends the practice's capacity to treat complex conditions where standard approaches have fallen short.

Family Care

At Hartwell Chiropractic Centre in Camberwell, Mark and Sophia are passionate about helping families thrive. As chiropractors and parents themselves, they understand firsthand what it means to want to keep moving — and to need expert, caring support when something gets in the way.

Both Dr Mark and Dr Sophia have pursued professional development in chiropractic care for babies and children, and Sophia has undertaken further training to support women through pregnancy, having relied on chiropractic care during her own.

Sports Care

Hartwell Chiropractic supports recreational and competitive athletes with injury assessment, rehabilitation, and performance recovery. We incorporate the use of a force plate to assess balance, stability, and postural control — providing objective data that shapes each athlete's care plan.

Our practitioners have continued professional development in functional neurology and concussion management, enabling thorough evaluation and management of concussion and post-concussion syndrome — a growing concern in contact and collision sport.

Whether you are returning from an injury, managing a recurring issue, or looking to move more efficiently in your sport, Hartwell offers the tools and training to keep you in the game. Dr Mark is a keen cyclist; Dr Sophia is an enthusiastic runner — they understand the demands of staying active.

Senior's Care

Staying mobile and independent as you age is not inevitable — it is something that can be actively supported with the right care. At Hartwell, we bring a gentle, considered approach to working with older adults, using tools designed to treat without strain.

One of the key tools we use is the flexion distraction table — a specialised treatment table that offers gentle spinal decompression, effective for seniors who may not be candidates for more forceful manipulation. We also use chiropractic instruments such as the Activator and blocks, delivering precise, low-force adjustments tailored to each individual's comfort and condition.

Our goal for every senior patient is to protect and improve what matters most: balance, strength, independence, and the ability to keep doing the things you love.

Balance Assessment

Our balance assessments combine traditional physical evaluations with cutting-edge technology, including the BTrackS™ Balance Plate and BTrackS™ Assess Balance Software. These tools allow us to accurately measure stability, postural control, and fall risk — providing a precise, objective picture of where you stand.

Balance assessment is relevant to a wide range of patients: seniors concerned about fall prevention, athletes recovering from lower-limb injury, and anyone managing dizziness, vertigo, or neurological conditions affecting their stability.

Results guide a personalised program to measurably improve balance, reduce fall risk, and restore confidence in movement.

Traction

Traction therapy uses controlled, gentle force to decompress the spine and relieve pressure on discs and nerves. At Hartwell, we provide two key traction approaches matched to where your pain originates.

Cervical Traction for Neck Pain — targeted gentle decompression of the cervical spine to relieve nerve pressure, reduce disc-related neck pain, and ease headaches originating from the upper spine.
Flexion Distraction Therapy for Low Back Pain — a specialised technique using the flexion distraction table to gently open the lumbar segments, reduce disc compression, and restore mobility in the lower back.

Both approaches are non-invasive and well-tolerated, particularly suited to patients for whom more forceful manipulation is not appropriate.

Neurological Rehabilitation

Both Dr Mark and Dr Sophia have undergone post-graduate training in functional neurology. Our evidence-based approach helps patients with complex conditions affecting the nervous system — conditions where standard musculoskeletal care alone may not be enough.

We assist with:

Dizziness, vertigo and balance disorders
Headaches and facial pain
Concussion and post-concussion syndrome
Plantar fasciitis
Chronic pain conditions with a neurological component

Treatment combines spinal care with targeted neurological rehabilitation exercises, designed around your specific diagnosis and function goals.

Rehabilitation Programs

Hartwell Chiropractic combines chiropractic care with personalised rehabilitation programs — specific, progressive exercise and movement plans designed around each patient's body, goals, and life stage.

Rather than a one-size approach, rehabilitation programs at Hartwell are built on an individual assessment: where you are now, where you need to get to, and the most direct evidence-based path between the two. Programs are integrated with your chiropractic care and adjusted as you progress.

The practice's rehab gym — visible in the clinic's social posts, equipped with resistance equipment, cable machines, medicine balls, and a speed bag — reflects the real, active rehabilitation that happens here. This is not exercise-on-paper; it is structured, supervised, purposeful movement.
