Meet our Team of Sunshine Coast Chiropractors
Dr Scott Baker
Principal Chiropractor

Dr Scott Baker completed a two year part time Diplomate in Chiropractic Paediatrics in 2014. He completed his basic and advanced certificate in dry needling in 2019. In 2023 he completed a masterclass advanced dry needling certificate.
Dr Scott Baker has worked as a clinical educator, supervising 5th year chiropractic students at RMIT university. He has also lectured on chiropractic paediatrics to child and maternal health nurses on the coast. Dr Scott often co-manages babies with breastfeeding problems with lactation consultants and dentists. Dr Scott uses a combination of techniques (sacro-occipital technique, cranial release, neuro impulse technique, gonstead, diversified and activator) to massage and gently mobilise any fixations of the spine, jaw and cranium (skull) .
Dr Scott Baker is only one of the few chiropractors on the coast who focuses entirely on babies and children. His vision is to identify and remove muscle and joint (musculoskeletal) problems in babies caused by the birth process and assist babies and children develop discomfort free.

Dr Rowan Kapoor - Chiropractor
We are excited to introduce Dr Rowan into the practice. Rowan brings to the clinic a wealth of knowledge and experience treating sporting injuries and has a special clinical interest in headache, posture, sciatica, lower back disc problems and spinal sports care. As well as completing the 5 years Chiropractic degree, Rowan has completed a Bachelor in Human Movement. He has also completed an internship in Sports Science at the Victorian Institute of Sport and has worked with many high profile sporting groups and clubs.
Rohan has spent most of his life growing up and working in Victoria, where he completed his VCE studies and went on to initially study Human Movement.
After completing a Bachelor in Human Movement and with an active sporting and work life, Chiropractor Rohan found the stress and strain on his body was causing a great degree of lower back pain. It was particularly noticeable at footy training one day where he suffered a bulged disc. This lower back pain and injury led him to visit various health practitioners which sparked an interest in Chiropractic care. From here, Rohan found the benefits of Chiropractic to be far greater than pain relief. He could sleep better, had more energy and felt less stress all whilst being able to compete in his sporting life with minimal aches and pain.
It was this experience that led Rohan to complete a five-year degree in Chiropractic at Murdoch University in Western Australia (where he was playing footy at the time).
Rohan worked in private practice at Subiaco Chiropractic and then moved back to Victoria to be closer to family and friends. He started work at Balwyn Health Care and founded PerformanceOne in Kyneton.
Dr Rowan is excited to join the team in Caloundra and has a keen interest in passing on his Chiropractic knowledge to all patients, to make a difference in the health and well-being of the community.
