Meet the Team

Dr Charlie Chae is the founder and principal chiropractor of Chiropractic Focus. He is passionate about helping people move better, feel better, and achieve their health goals through precise, patient-centred chiropractic care.

Dr Chae began his healthcare journey during his military service in South Korea, where he served as a medic in both the Emergency Department and Surgical Unit. In this role, he assisted medical officers with emergency care, surgical procedures, and the management of hospital inpatients. This experience provided valuable clinical exposure and fostered a deep appreciation for patient care, rehabilitation, and the importance of helping people regain their quality of life.

After completing his military service, Dr Chae moved to Australia and completed a Diploma of Fitness at Meadowbank TAFE in Sydney. His studies in exercise science, rehabilitation, and human movement further strengthened his interest in musculoskeletal health and inspired him to pursue a career in chiropractic.

Dr Chae subsequently completed his chiropractic education at RMIT University, one of Australia's leading chiropractic programs. During his studies and clinical training, he developed a strong interest in spinal biomechanics, neurological function, and the Gonstead Chiropractic Technique, which remains the primary focus of his practice today.

At Chiropractic Focus, Dr Chae provides personalised chiropractic care using the Gonstead Technique, a highly specific system of spinal analysis and adjustment. He believes that every patient deserves a thorough assessment to identify the underlying cause of their condition rather than simply treating symptoms. His approach combines detailed examination, precise adjustments, and practical advice to help patients achieve lasting improvements in function and wellbeing.

Dr Chae has a particular interest in helping patients with lower back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, postural issues, sports injuries, and movement-related disorders. He is committed to ongoing professional development and continually refining his skills to provide the highest standard of care.

His philosophy is simple: listen carefully, assess thoroughly, and provide specific care tailored to each individual. Whether you are seeking pain relief, recovering from injury, or looking to optimise your health and performance, Dr Chae is dedicated to helping you move better, function better, and live better.
