Dr Lauren Kinnane, Chiropractor

Hi, I’m Lauren, the owner and director of Vital Health Chiropractic and I’m one of those painful but lucky people that LOVES what they do.

I’ve always known I wanted to help people… in fact, along with completing my five-year RMIT Masters in Chiropractic. I also completed a three-year Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy (yep 8 years of university, I thought I’d never finish!)

I’m passionate about working with children (and the occasional grown-up) and helping them with their motor and cognitive development, so they can reach their potential physically and emotionally!

I’ve worked alongside allied health professionals in The Birth House in Geelong, Victoria, and spent two years in a predominately paediatric-based practice in Hawthorn, Melbourne. It is during this time that I completed a two-year post graduate Diplomate in Neuro-developmental Paediatrics to help babies and children with chiropractic care (that’s right…more study!).

Each week I’m lucky enough to work with well children for optimal spinal and nervous system function and also those with plagiocephaly, learning issues, developmental delay, attachment and breastfeeding challenges, sleep issues, colic &/or reflux, ADHD, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Congenital disorders and more.

When I’m not in the practice I love to bake (gluten free of course!), exercise and practice my Italian.

 

 

Dr Amy Jacobs, Chiropractor

Hello, Lara! I’m originally from Bendigo and graduated with distinction from RMIT University. Since early 2023, I’ve been privileged to care for families in the Geelong and Lara communities.

One of my favourite parts about being a chiropractor is that I get to support infants with challenges such as lip and tongue ties, latch and feeding difficulties, retained primitive reflexes, and general unsettledness. I am also very passionate about pre- and post-natal care, and thoroughly enjoy guiding women through their pregnancy journey. My work extends to a range of health concerns, including bulging discs, headaches, osteoarthritis, chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, as well as hip and shoulder impingements and bursitis.

With additional training in chiropractic care for babies and children, I’m skilled in techniques such as SOT, Thompson, Diversified, Manual, and Activator methods. I have a strong interest in understanding how chronic stress, or “sympathetic dominance,” manifests in the body and affects overall health and the nervous system, so you’ll often find me researching about this!

Outside of chiropractic care, you’ll often find me enjoying time at the beach, exploring creative projects or building lego, practicing Pilates, or baking a sweet treat! I have a love for travel and am always delighted to hear about your latest adventures!

 

 

Dr Edison Pyke, Chiropractor

Hi, I’m Ed, and I’m thrilled to be joining the team at Vital Health Chiropractic. 

Growing up with chiropractic parents, I learned early on just how powerful chiropractic care can be in supporting health, development, and lifelong movement. 

My passion lies in sports chiropractic, and I’m dedicated to helping people move better, train smarter, and live healthier, happier lives. I truly believe movement is one of the strongest drivers of performance and wellbeing, and I love supporting all individuals in reaching their full potential.

Having grown up immersed in sport – particularly competing in lacrosse 🥍 at a high level – I understand the physical demands of training and performance and the importance of staying strong, mobile, and resilient.

I look forward to working collaboratively with you, combining evidence-based chiropractic care with your personal performance and wellbeing goals.
