dr Kieran Whelan

Dr Kieran Whelan (Chiropractor) provides care for families with school aged children and has a special interest in caring for people suffering from chronic pain conditions (like Chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraine etc.)

In 2017, Kieran finished what he hopes will be the first of many marathons. As an enthusiastic (albeit slow) runner, Kieran understands what it takes to train and perform to achieve your goals and is passionate about helping his clients reach them.

Kieran is aware of the common injuries that can affect endurance athletes and is committed to injury management and prevention, as well as knowing that making it to the start (and hopefully the finish line) is all about 'balance'.

Kieran joined the Align team in 2007, working as a chiropractic assistant before graduating with Distinction from RMIT in 2010.

While studying, Kieran received a Meritorious Award for service to chiropractic students.
