Jonathan Craig is one of our Chiropractors here at Peak Health Canberra. Hailing from Christchurch, New Zealand, his interest in Chiropractic came from receiving chiropractic treatment from his father.

Jonathan grew up playing and coaching football, along with water skiing/mountain biking in the summer and snow skiing in the winter. Seeing friends and family give up the sports they once loved due to pain and mobility issues made him want to focus on helping the weekend warriors and amateur athletes return to their best.
After graduating in 2022 with a Bachelor of Chiropractic from the New Zealand college of Chiropractic, he began pursuing various avenues to improve and tailor his skillset to suit athletes. Some of these avenues include courses/qualifications in;

Concussion Management
Peak Health Chiropractic is a proud clinic of the Complete Concussion Management Inc. (CCMI) Partnership Program - a network of clinics around the world offering evidence-based concussion care.
From initial pre-season baseline testing to concussion treatment and rehabilitation, as partnered CCMI practitioners, we collaborate with primary care physicians to co-manage concussions, helping patients and athletes safely return to learn, work and play.
What is a concussion?
A concussion is a brain injury caused by acceleration or deceleration of the brain within the skull
following a significant impact to the head or elsewhere on the body. The impact causes a biochemical imbalance within the brain cells, resulting in decreased blood flow and temporary energy deficits within the brain. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, headache, pressure in the head, neck pain, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, or balance problems, among others.
In conjunction with CCMI, we offer concussion treatment services & strategies including:
Testing for return-to-sport readiness and exercise programs for persistent symptoms
Vestibular, oculomotor, and cervical spine rehabilitation
Balance, reaction time, visual processing, and neurocognitive testing (pre-season baseline and/or post-injury/return to sport testing)
Educational resources
Individual or Team Testing
Multimodal pre-season testing is a series of physical and cognitive tests that provides a pre-injury overview of healthy brain function. These tests can offer healthcare practitioners with an objective benchmark on which to compare should a patient sustain a concussion.
As concussion symptoms often disappear days to weeks before the brain has recovered, having valuable baseline information may help practitioners to make safer return to play decisions.
Contact us to learn more about baseline testing or to book a time to start your concussion recovery.
FAQs
Can I use Medicare?
The short answer is no. However, if you have an “enhanced primary care program” approved by your GP a portion of the treatment fee will be covered for a maximum of 5 sessions per calendar year.
Can I use Private Health Insurance?

Each private health insurer offers different policies for different services, it is best to contact your insurer to find out what rebates you are entitled to.
