Our Chiropractor in Bega

Dr. Oliver Croke was raised in Victoria in a chiropractic family. His father and sister are both chiropractors and from an early age he witnessed the positive impact chiropractic care can have.

He graduated from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) in 2017 and received a Special Acknowledgement Award from the then CAA (now the Australian Chiropractors’ Association, ACA) for establishing an Indigenous chiropractic student scholarship program. In 2019, he completed the Health Sector Leadership Program, a multi-profession training program designed to prepare participants for professional leadership roles.

Dr. Oliver moved to Bega in February 2020 and has loved being part of the community ever since. In 2023, he joined the ACA’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Rural and Remote Practitioner’s Network (ARRPN), advising on rural and Indigenous health issues and working on projects to expand access to chiropractic care for rural Australians. He is deeply passionate about providing high-quality care for rural communities.

Since graduation, Dr. Oliver has pursued further training in techniques including Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP), Gonstead, Thompson, and Advanced Bio-Structural Correction (ABC). He has also trained in paediatric chiropractic care and was one of the first two chiropractors in Australia to complete a Blair Upper Cervical advanced certification. Additionally, he has completed Scolicare Level 1 and spinal orthotics training with Dr Adrian Dennewald, supporting his interest in managing scoliosis and other abnormal spinal curves for patients of all ages.

Dr. Oliver is currently enrolled in a program to become board certified by the International Academy of Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine (IANM), administered by Chiropractic Development International in conjunction with the University of Bridgeport (USA). This certification recognises advanced clinical expertise in the diagnosis and management of neuromusculoskeletal conditions.

He regularly mentors junior chiropractors in his practice, with trainees either scribing for him or running community support programs to raise funds for local food banks and women’s shelters.

Outside the practice, Dr. Oliver is a keen scuba diver, enjoys hunting for his own food, and can be found under the Tathra wharf, exploring the hills around Brogo, or at the gym. Otherwise he will be playing boardgames with his fiance, Georgia.
