Dr Caroline first became interested in Chiropractic when she was 17. Dr Mark Postles and Dr David Lovett inspired Caroline to read books about Chiropractic, and observe them in practice. Caroline was hooked! The next 5 years were all about how to get to the States, enrol in Chiropractic and then graduate. Caroline graduated on the 10th of June 1988, returned home and took up an associateship.
Caroline founded McIvor Road Chiropractic Centre in 1990 and has attended too many seminars to count over the years! She loves to learn and improve her knowledge to assist more people to regain their health.
Caroline's special interest is helping families live healthier more fulfilling lives. She believes who you are is a reflection of your nervous system. Caroline's aim for everyone is to optimize the function of the nervous system by removing subluxations, suggesting appropriate exercises and nutrition.
Dr Caroline is a very experienced and vital member of the team!

DR MARNI GRABASCH
BHSc BASc(Chiropractic)
Dr Marni was first introduced to chiropractic very early on in life, when she was adjusted by her aunt, whom is also a chiropractor, and she has been surrounded by chiropractic ever since. Chiropractic care has helped to keep Marni fit and injury free throughout her active life.
Marni graduated from RMIT University in 2017 with a double degree, a Bachelor of Health Science and a Bachelor of Applied Science (Chiropractic). She was humbled to achieve distinctions in both degrees, as one of the top students in her class. She has always utilised SOT chiropractic technique and loves the amazing results it continues to achieve.
Outside of practice, Marni has a passion for fitness and travel. This passion for travel has led her to some amazing experiences. One in particular was volunteering with an international chiropractic mission group in India. Overcoming cultural and language barriers, adjusting and caring for poverty-stricken communities of all ages that would otherwise have been without any type of health care was an experience of a lifetime.
Dr Marni joined the team at McIvor Rd Chiropractic Centre in 2019 and says “I welcome everyone, from birth to all ages, as I believe chiropractic care is a wonderful tool for the maintenance of health, wellness and illness prevention. I cannot wait to meet and look after you and your family!”

lorelle hinck
Practice Manager
Lorelle was first introduced to Chiropractic when her father suggested she take her newborn to a see a Chiropractor after the birth. At the time, a work colleague and her family were regular patients of Caroline’s and told Lorelle how amazing she was and that they had been going for years. Lorelle came with her 7-day-old daughter for her 1st initial adjustment. Before long, Lorelle was on the adjusting table along with her husband and then their next child.
Lorelle's belief and love of Chiropractic care soon developed even more when she started working casually as a Chiropractic Assistant. She joined the amazing team here at McIvor Rd Chiropractic Centre and many years on, Lorelle is now working full-time. Lorelle says 'It's a wonderful and powerful clinic to be a part of and Chiropractic care continues to amaze me; it keeps my family and myself happy and healthy and functioning at our best.'
