"I wanted to build the kind of practice I'd want for my own family."

About Jacob

Rooted in science.
Guided by experience.

Jacob started Thornbury Family Chiro because he wanted to build the kind of practice he'd want for his own family — one where you're actually listened to, not rushed through a ten-minute slot.

He studied a Bachelor of Health Science (Chiropractic) at RMIT University and a Bachelor of Health Science at La Trobe University, and since then has focused on treating people at every stage of life, from babies to grandparents. What he loves most about chiropractic is how different every person's story is — your pain, your job, your sport, and your stress all show up in your body in their own way, and your care should reflect that.

Outside the clinic, Jacob is just a local from the area who wanted to bring genuinely good care to Thornbury without the corporate, clinical feel a lot of practices have. If you're searching for a chiropractor who'll actually take the time to understand what's going on, he'd love to meet you.

Diagnosis & Plan

Dr. Lanciana reviews your findings and explains exactly what's causing your pain — and the step-by-step plan to resolve it.

Common Questions

What patients ask us most.

Does chiropractic care hurt? +

Most adjustments are painless or mildly uncomfortable. You may feel a release and immediate relief. Dr. Lanciana always works within your comfort level and adjusts his technique to your preferences.

How many visits will I need? +

It varies by condition. Acute issues often respond in 4–8 visits. Chronic conditions may require a longer program. We'll give you a realistic estimate at your first consultation — no vague open-ended commitments.

Do you accept insurance? +

Yes. We accept most major private health funds including Medibank, Bupa, HCF, and NIB. Our team will help you understand your extras cover before your first visit so there are no surprises.

Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy? +

Yes — prenatal chiropractic is safe throughout all trimesters when performed by a trained practitioner. Dr. Lanciana has specific advanced training in pregnancy care and uses specialised positioning and gentle techniques.

What should I wear or bring? +

Comfortable, loose clothing you can move easily in. Bring any recent X-rays or MRIs if you have them, and your insurance card. That's it — we handle the rest from there.

Can children see a chiropractor? +

Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic is safe and effective for children of all ages. We use very gentle, age-appropriate techniques and have treated patients from newborns through teenagers for everything from colic to scoliosis monitoring.
