With over 40 years of hands-on clinical experience, Dr Jack Gurman has been helping people across Melbourne move more freely, feel better, and get back to doing what matters most to them. He has cared for patients of all ages—from children to older adults—supporting a wide range of concerns including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and general joint stiffness.

Jack takes a patient-centred approach, meaning your care is tailored to your individual needs, goals, and comfort level. Many patients attend with neck pain and headaches, and Jack has developed a strong clinical focus in assessing and managing these conditions using gentle, precise chiropractic techniques. This includes carefully delivered neck adjustments where appropriate, always with a clear explanation so you feel informed and confident in your care.

At Northcote Chiropractic Services, the focus is on honest, straightforward care you can trust. Treatment begins on your first visit, with no long-term contracts or unnecessary payment plans. Jack uses a range of proven techniques, including a specialised drop-piece table, to provide low-force, effective adjustments suited to each patient.

Patients value not only the care they receive, but also the consistency and accessibility of the service. Jack has provided one of Melbourne’s few regular Sunday chiropractic clinics for decades, helping those who cannot attend during the week. Appointments are in high demand, and booking ahead is recommended.

If you’re looking for a Melbourne chiropractor who listens, explains clearly, and focuses on helping you achieve meaningful results, Dr Jack Gurman offers experienced, reliable care centred around your needs.

Philosophy of Health

Greg’s approach to health is based on a simple idea he calls “The Simple Daily.”

Rather than looking for quick fixes, long-term wellbeing comes from consistently applying small positive habits — moving well, exercising regularly, managing posture, sleeping well and supporting the body’s natural resilience.

Lifelong Interest in Exercise and Fitness

Greg has maintained a lifelong commitment to exercise, strength and conditioning. He has a particular interest in helping people over 40 maintain strength, mobility and independence so they can avoid the decline that often leads to loss of freedom later in life.

His weekly writing and education aim to help people understand their bodies and build habits that support long-term spinal health.

We are “hands-on” with your first visit. No extended contracts or payment plans.
