Dr Alex Freeman – Chiropractor, Victoria Park, Perth
Hello!
Dr Alex Freeman holds a Bachelor of Science (Chiropractic) and a Bachelor of Chiropractic from Murdoch University, with over 20 years’ experience across regional and metropolitan Australia. He's completed postgraduate training in sports chiropractic, paediatric chiropractic and pregnancy care, plus additional training in aged care, alongside ongoing professional development in spinal biomechanics, nervous system function, and the impact of modern lifestyle demands on the body.
Alex is an experienced Perth chiropractor based in Victoria Park, known for taking on tricky and complex cases — from long-standing back pain, neck pain, sciatica and disc injuries to migraines, headaches, shoulder and elbow complaints, and jaw pain. Alex takes a kind, relationship-first approach: properly assessing what's going on and explaining it in a way that actually makes sense.
With over 20 years’ experience, Alex has supported thousands of patients across both rural and metropolitan Australia. His career began in country South Australia, working between two small towns where access to healthcare was limited — an environment that shaped a practical, hands-on approach requiring adaptability, efficiency, and strong clinical decision-making.
After returning to Perth, Alex spent over a decade refining his skills while supporting patients from all walks of life and mentoring chiropractors entering the profession. His clinical background is strongly rooted in a broad experience managing complex, long-standing spinal and musculoskeletal issues.
Alex is known for a direct, results-focused treatment style. His approach commonly incorporates firm spinal and extremity adjustments, dry needling, and soft tissue therapy. He's often sought out by people looking for a clear explanation and a straightforward plan, particularly for cases that haven't been fully resolved elsewhere.
Outside the clinic, Alex is a husband to Melissa and a proud father to two boys. He has a background in competitive swimming and experience across triathlons, football, gym training, and CrossFit. When he's not working, he enjoys riding, swimming, spending time with friends, and watching the footy with his family.

The number of visits varies depending on your individual situation, the nature of your complaint, and how your body responds to care. Your chiropractor will discuss a recommended care plan with you following your initial assessment. We believe in keeping you informed throughout the process and reviewing your progress regularly.
-
Your first visit is designed to give us a clear understanding of your health and what’s contributing to your symptoms.
Health History
We begin by discussing your current concerns and health history, so we can build a complete picture of your overall health.
Comprehensive Assessment
You’ll then undergo a thorough physical assessment, which may include postural, movement, neurological, and orthopaedic testing where appropriate.
This helps us understand how your body is functioning as a whole—not just where you’re experiencing pain.
Further Investigation (If Needed)
In some cases, we may refer you for X-rays to better understand your condition. These are only recommended when clinically appropriate and are bulk billed through Medicare where eligible.
Explanation & Next Steps
At your next appointment, the Report of Findings and First Treatment, your chiropractor will explain their findings and discuss what’s going on in a clear, straightforward way.
We’ll walk you through your options so you can make an informed decision about your care.
Treatment generally begins at that appointment, once we have all the information we need to treat you safely.

A chiropractor is a registered healthcare practitioner who specialises in the assessment, diagnosis, and management of conditions affecting the spine, joints, and nervous system. At Freeman Chiropractic, our chiropractors use hands-on manual techniques — including spinal adjustments and soft tissue work — to support better movement, reduce discomfort, and help your body function as well as possible.
-
Chiropractic care is widely used and generally considered safe when provided by a registered practitioner. At Freeman Chiropractic, all of our chiropractors are registered with AHPRA (the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) and follow evidence-informed practice guidelines.
Every patient begins with a thorough assessment to ensure care is appropriate, specific, and guided by clinical findings. We also offer lower-force techniques for patients who prefer a gentler approach.
Your chiropractor will take the time to explain your care and answer any questions during your initial consultation, so you can feel informed and comfortable moving forward.
-
Yes, Freeman Chiropractic provides chiropractic assessments and care for pregnant patients. Pregnancy places significant demands on the spine and pelvis, and some patients find chiropractic support helpful during this time. We use techniques that are appropriate for each stage of pregnancy. Please let us know you are pregnant when booking so we can prepare appropriately.
-
Many Australian private health insurance extras policies include chiropractic care. The amount covered depends on your specific fund and level of cover. We recommend contacting your health insurer directly to confirm your entitlements before your first appointment.

Not usually — and that's intentional. Your first visit is primarily an assessment. Dr Alex or Dr Joel will take the time to properly understand your history, examine how your body is moving, and explain what they find. Treatment generally begins at your second appointment, the Report of Findings and First Treatment, once we have all the information we need to treat you safely. Nothing happens without your full understanding and agreement. You'll always know exactly what we're doing and why before we do anything.
