About
Coconut Grove Chiropractic
At Coconut Grove Chiropractic we only utilise the Gonstead technique. Dr Melinda Blackney is the only member of the Gonstead Society in the Northern Territory.
The Gonstead Chiropractic principle is: “Find it, fix it, and leave it alone.” We use gentle manual Chiropractic adjustments to improve communication between your brain and body. When our nervous system functions well it allows free communication in the body and this is where your healing begins.

Hi, I’m Melinda Blackney
Chiropractor
A bit about me…
I’m a Mum of 3 gorgeous children Oliver, Matilda and Archie who are fit, active and keep me on my toes. To be able to keep up with them I need to be fit and healthy and have a fully functioning nervous system, so I know what busy people need in their life! I aim to run on time so you can fit an adjustment into your busy day.
A little about my journey…
I started my Chiropractic journey in high school. I was in Year 10 when my neighbour introduced me to Chiropractic and allowed me to do my work experience with him. I was blown away with the benefits to people I witnessed in those couple of weeks, the energy and environment was something I couldn’t wait to be part of. The best part was learning about how clever our bodies are at healing themselves. As soon as the nerve interference is removed the body’s healing ability begins, WOW!!
My Qualifications…
I graduated from RMIT University after finishing my 5 year Chiropractic degree in 2005. Since then my husband Dean and I have been on many adventures together and lived in a few different places, including spending 8 years in Nhulunbuy working as Outback Chiropractic.
We also lived in Howard Springs, working as Howard Springs Chiropractic for 3 years. The past 3 years we have tested the Victorian climate in Benalla, working at Benalla Chiropractic Centre, and come to the conclusion it is not for us. Darwin is to be our home to raise our children. We love the Northern lifestyle. Fishing, camping, mudcrabs, walks along the beach, what more could we want!
Why I do what I do…
My favourite thing about Chiropractic is finding solutions to people’s problems. When I can find the cause of their nerve pressure we can allow their body to heal. I love nutting out difficult cases and analysing x-rays for clues to help get people better as quickly as possible. My passion is to help people live freely, uninhibited by pain, so they can live their best life and do what they love to do!
