A genuine desire to help people
Dr Deanne Spranklin is the owner and founder of Cracknell Chiropractic, where she leads with warmth, care, and over 20 years of clinical experience. Her approach to chiropractic is rooted in a genuine desire to help individuals and families thrive through natural, hands-on care. From the beginning, her mission has been to create a welcoming space where people of all ages feel heard, supported, and empowered in their health journey.
Deanne was first drawn to chiropractic through its core philosophy—the belief that the body can heal and regulate itself when given the right support. This guiding principle continues to shape every aspect of her work.
Whether she’s helping a child reach developmental milestones or supporting a parent through busy seasons of life, Deanne’s care is thoughtful, compassionate, and always patient-focused. Her leadership continues to guide Cracknell Chiropractic as a place where families come to feel better, move better, and live with greater ease and vitality.

With advanced training in the Gonstead system, as well as diversified adjusting, cranial work, and soft tissue therapy, Deanne blends clinical precision with a deeply personalised approach. She has also undertaken postgraduate studies in pregnancy and paediatric chiropractic, enabling her to care for everyone from newborns to older adults.
She employs a wide range of techniques including:
-
-
- Gonstead Chiropractic System
- Manual spinal adjustments
- Drop-piece table adjustments
- Cranial and peripheral joint techniques
- Soft tissue release and mobilisation
-
Her care often includes postural advice, personalised exercises or home care strategies, and regular progress reviews to support long-term outcomes.
With a professional, communicative style and a genuine interest in every patient’s wellbeing, Deanne provides care that is both evidence-informed and individualised.
“Chiropractic care is about more than pain relief—it’s about empowering people to take charge of their health, and seeing families thrive through every stage of life.”
Professional Achievements
Deanne holds a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science and a Master of Chiropractic from Macquarie University. She was awarded the Chiropractic Journal of Australia’s “Research Paper of the Year” in 2007. Her commitment to learning has remained strong ever since.
