About Dr Vicky
Hi, I’m Dr. Vicky Markham, and I’ve recently moved to Adelaide from Hervey Bay, Queensland, after Cyclone Alfred caused severe flooding to both my workplace and home.
I’m originally from New Zealand and a proud graduate of the New Zealand College of Chiropractic.
In 2023, my partner and I relocated to Australia.
I’m passionate about helping people of all ages find relief and improve their overall well-being and function.
I’ve worked with individuals experiencing back and neck pain, headaches and migraines, scoliosis, disc bulges, sciatica, arthritis, and more.
My approach to care is thorough and tailored to each patient. I begin with a detailed health history and assessment, including posture screenings and, if needed, X-rays or further diagnostic tests to get to the root of the problem.
My treatments focus on gentle spinal adjustments aimed at relieving pain and improving movement and overall function.
I believe everyone deserves to live pain-free and move with ease, and I’d love to help you on your journey to better health.
In my spare time, I enjoy exploring my surroundings—usually with a camera in hand.
I also love camping and hope to get back into playing soccer and swimming.
I value catching up with friends and family, even if it’s just over a video call.

FAQ's - Frequently Asked Questions By Vicky
Can chiropractic care help with both back and neck pain?
Yes. Chiropractic care focuses on improving spinal alignment, joint mobility, and nerve function, which can relieve pressure, inflammation, and stiffness in the back and neck. Many patients find significant relief through manual adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and postural correction strategies.
How can a chiropractor help with headaches or migraines?
Tension headaches and migraines are often linked to neck dysfunction, poor posture, or nerve irritation. Chiropractors assess spinal alignment, muscle tension, and joint restrictions, especially in the upper neck, and use targeted adjustments or soft tissue techniques to reduce headache frequency and intensity.
Is chiropractic care safe and effective for children or teens with scoliosis?
Yes. While chiropractors do not "cure" scoliosis, they can help manage symptoms, improve spinal mobility, and reduce discomfort associated with curvature. For younger patients, early detection and gentle, age-appropriate treatment can be an important part of a long-term management plan.
What is the difference between a disc bulge and sciatica, and how does chiropractic help?
A disc bulge occurs when the outer layer of a spinal disc weakens, often pressing on nearby nerves. Sciatica refers to pain that travels down the leg due to pressure on the sciatic nerve—often caused by a bulging disc. Chiropractors use techniques to reduce nerve pressure, improve movement, and support disc healing.
Can chiropractic care help with arthritis-related pain or stiffness?
Yes. While chiropractic care does not reverse arthritis, it can help manage symptoms. Gentle adjustments, mobilisations, and soft tissue therapy can reduce joint stiffness, improve mobility, and decrease pain levels—especially in areas like the spine, hips, or knees.
